Portfolio Performance for March 2010

It has been a long winter in Missouri. Glad to finally get some sunshine and warm weather.



You can see the portfolio received a few rays of sun, as well. Of course, in the market, the clouds can come back anytime.





This past week, I pushed a change to the trading systems. Based on the idea that a good portion of a stock's move comes from the market itself followed by its sector family. The backtest showed minor improvement to total profits and a fairly significant reduction in portfolio drawdowns.

Another item achieved this month was daily posting of portfolio stats similar to the Russell 3000 stats posted on the site. I have kept the portfolio stats local (not to the blog) for the time being until I've validated the results.

Later Trades,

MT
