Devrim to new lows - whoa. He has some rearranging of his business going on - I suspect that has been affecting him, hopefully it will be squared away soon if it isn’t already (doesn’t seem to be). I have my allocation shaved down.
My Rove allocation process continues today, hear some happy folks. Looks like […]
Ian flat, up 2% on the month so far, good to see. 007 doing well, up over 4% on the month I’m told, terrific to see. Swing starting soon at PFG. UFX also starting Monday, on another account he made some money today. Known him for a while, hope he pans out. Armada is also […]
Devrim on or near his lows for the month, looks like he’ll finally have a down month and big one at that.
Went live with UFX today, first trade a winner, bodes well. I like his record and will really like it if it proves to be true. I think it will.
Triton no trading, collecting his thoughts, […]
Devrim off again, down near his worst lows from earlier in the month, was recovering but now dips back down, arg. I’ve lowered my margin on him. That being said I still think he’s a talented trader but this is not fun. Spoke with him for a while Wednesday night, markets are frustrating him (clearly).
Triton good news, three solid […]
Arg. Not feeling too well after Friday’s big drawdown on my Devrim accounts. Looks like b and Robert were right, so much risk. We’ve been in a similar situations before but not as bad. I think we’re showing what, 20% down or something with a bunch still on. I usually drop guys when they exceed their max drawdowns, […]
I am very excited about this trader, and justifiably so I might add. He controls his risk in an intelligent and disciplined manner, uses low leverage, makes a few trades a day, and sure seems to make money most days. He does have periods of weeks where he loses in his past, so we’re getting in […]
Devrim off a bunch, looks like about 8% from what I see now. Yuck. Been here plenty of times before, still I don’t enjoy it.
Had a great meeting with Ian today, all his trades have gone positive from when I started working with him. I am such a moron for cutting him off on the […]
Ian brought trading statements down today - I’m a believer. Will be getting another account opened for him at ADM soon that he can trade, will be clean and funded and start with reasonable leverage. We had a talk and he is going to trade his style, no pressure or interference from me, […]
Had some allocation issues with Ian’s program, got them straightened out. He’s off a few basis points in the last couple days, gave back the 1.2% he was up. We’ll see how that goes, he’s still confident. Also he’s bringing statements down to show me on Friday, so that’s encouraging. I really want this one […]
Exciting times - Triton is up his first two days! I’m pretty pumped about that relationship. Statements match performance, pretty stellar. Risk is controlled, trader is responsive, leverage is low. Numbers are great but not too great ot be unbelievable. We’ll have down times for certain but great to get off on the right foot, bodes […]
