The lower chart is a simple moving average measuring the average number winning trades, so if it is 0.5 as it is now, it means that broadly 5 of the previous 10 trades were winners. What's quite interesting about this is that I actually don't think the performance is very good at the moment, it seems quite mixed yet the equity curve runs higher. If this method of measuring performance is effective then what it means is that since the 100th trade up until now the strategy has performed on balance at the midpoint of potential performance yet there were some very nice profits made during that period. I think that is quite interesting.
The three month point is coming by end of October, that's what I decided would be a reasonable timeframe for testing the performance and at this point it's a go for the start of November.
Last few weeks in my normal work life I've been spending so much time on that it has left little time for this - my trading and analysis which I love. The skills and growth I achieved as a result of the work I put into trading and analysis transferred across into my professional life and therefore my position improved there. I developed a strong work ethic as a result of all the hundreds of hours I put into trading yet there was not one minute I spent on anything related to trading that ever felt like work.
There are a lot more demands on my time now with work spilling over into my own personal time at home and hence diverting away my attention from this. However as a result of my position at work I also have flexibility regarding what hours I work and I can put to good use here.
