Trading Reports – June 2016

Welcome in my trading report for June 2016. Very tough month for me. I wasn’t focused on trading – too many problem with my son which influenced me more than I think. During that period it is better not to trading at all. But anyway some things are getting better so now I’m back to trading.

If you wanna now my result and trading statistics for June – read more.

The most important events on stock exchange last month
Nothing special happen on market in June. Maybe BREXIT – but I think it was just one day with good volatility. Nothing more.

Number of trading days
In June there was 22 trading days.
Personally I trade in June in 20 sessions.

Events affecting trading
My son’s health getting better. So I hope this will be soon about the past. Believe me – life balanace – is very important when trading. If you can’t concentrate / focus on trading because there is something in your mind – it is better to take a break.

Monthly balance sheet
I finished the June with a result: 1,06%.
Previous month: 8,73%
This is a result including average capital, which in the month scale was invested in opened positions.

Summary result from the beginning of year 2016: 35,37%.
This is a result including average capital, which in the month scale was invested in opened positions.

I have much increased the capital that I’ve been trading in 2016 when I compare it to 2015. In 2016 I will increased it even more once I reach some goals for 2016. On of them is to increase sizes accordingly to the result generated. I have a constant level of used capital. I don’t raise it, because I don’t have such a need – I use solid strategies that are adapted up to specified value of opened position. Invested funds are increased, when I raise the volume of opened positions. Therefore, it is included in the monthly balance sheet.

Generated profits in a given month are paid from the trading account.

Transaction statistics
Below I present analysis of concluded transactions. This analysis is carried out by me every day before the session. Below I place an analysis in the scale of entire month along with information which from my point of view are the most important and to which I pay attention modifying my strategy in subsequent sessions.

In June I conducted 3474 transactions to the total number of 148 companies. Focused on tape reading and breakouts/breakdowns.

Average value of a single position
Average value to opened position: 1211 shares.
Previous month: 1538 shares.

I decrease number of initial position mostly due to not the best trading attitude. Will back to my default size when all back to normal.

Average time of keeping all positions.
In June: 3 minutes 28 seconds (last month 2 minutes 16 seconds).

With division into positions:

• long: 2 minute 40 seconds
• short: 4 minutes 37 seconds

As usual – short positions last longer than longs.

Transaction effectiveness
Effectiveness in June: 41.25% (last month 45.41%)

With division into positions:

• long: 43.03%
• short: 38,71%

Very bad effectiveness. That is the reason I’ve got so many red days. Probably most in my whole trading career. It was 11 red days, and 9 green. Usually there is no more than 2-4 red days per month.

Effectiveness with division into hours
Even in pre market I has low effectiveness. Usually it is about 80%.

How it looked like in last month:

Fixed costs from trading
Below I present costs that involve use of: platform, quoting, additional orders of shorts from the HTB list (hard to borrow).

1. Trading platform: 130$/month
2. Quoting: 285.74$/month
3. Sterling Scanner: 40$/month
4. Trade Ideas scanner: 74$/month (use special coupon codes for Trade Ideas just for BeDayTrader.com readers!)
   
5. Benzinga PRO news: 39$/month
6. Hard to borrow list: 40$

Fixed costs is a platform and quoting (in case of quoting I use all data, hence the maximum price). Additionally, I use scanners and system of news.

Hard to borrow – it’s cost of order additional shorts, which aren’t free available in a given session.

Note that I don’t treat the above mentioned charges as an expense. Of course, if they weren’t – I wouldn’t be mad 🙂 However, they constitute an indispensable monthly element. The same as loss positions, there are costs which I incur in order to use fully my strategies.

Thank you for reviewing my report trading. In consecutive month there will be other! Meanwhile, feel free to add comments below!

Described above statistics concern the account, which I use as part of RemoteDayTraderGroup.com; It is group of Proprietary Trading type – focused on trading on American stock exchanges of NYSE | NASDAQ | AMEX.
