Better day than Friday for sure. I need to blog less often and give these guys some space, daily resolution is great but weekly or monthly is more the timeframe most managers are on.

Triton up day, great to see. Spoke with my friend who was in his chatroom for over a month from 1am on - says he watched Triton go though a rough patch of a couple weeks and he held his iron discipline, stuck by his guns and kept on trading the setups that have always worked for him. Well done, and I shall do my best to watch and keep the faith, was just hard to hit a bad drawdown nearly out of the chute. I asked the trader how long he thought it would work, if there was shelf-life to his strategy - he told me one he found a reference to back in 1880… That’s a good ways back… He also adapts as time goes on, changes and tweaks to adapt to the market’s changes. Love the daytrading and low leverage usage. Some overnights but on small leverage.

Devrim nice recovery, not smart to bet against him after all the big recoveries he has had. In the past when he’s been down he’s gotten angry and it’s worked for him in terms of being able ot pull money out of the market. Down 13 or 14% now instead of 20%.

And Ian got a nice trade in USD-TRY on, up 1.5% already. Trade is only at Saxo, PFG doesn’t offer that pair. Saxo and Citi have more pairs than anybody else, and Ian trades just about everything.

Looking at G5, Mango, a robot, but focused on Ian and Triton, if either pan out we’re all going to be pretty happy.

Triton update:

Little bit choppy on the signals today but at least seeing some follow through with some small profits being seen at last.

Lots of slippage today which is I thought a little outrageous prices were, in fairness, jumping around all day. Slippage on both side of the trades very frustrating to see but as prices were jumping around all day I’m not sure we can point the finger to anywhere other than the market being skittish at the moment.
