SAMPLE TRADING PORTFOLIO

 

 

I decided to post daily progress and regression to give subscribers an idea of the ebb and flow of daily trading.

This is a sample of one of my (Account) portfolio setups: The initial funding on JAN 1,2026 for this one was 20K. The main income earners are the double diagonal trade using IWM and the directional hedge on NASDAQ using /MNQ and QQQ. From time to time when the FED makes statements or economic data is released, I use the /mnq futures to play the move. In addition, commodity pairs are used to take advantage of divergence and out of the money credit spreads on the SPX are utilized during flat market periods. You’ll also find and earnings section, in that space I do short term straddle trades on individual stocks.

In order to keep any semblance of an income stream I’ve determined you have to selectively understand and juggle multiple strategies. This is especially true in rapidly changing market environments. The market rotates through high volatility, low volatility, trending, mean reverting, news-driven, gamma driven, macro driven, earnings upsets, commodity resets, black swan events, FED surprises etc. Many of the trades cycle within one day.’m

My equity curve (Maximum loss tolerance) is usually between 3-8%. Although there are rare times when I go as high as 12-15%. As you can imagine there are many different trading styles, trading philosophies lifestyle differences & limitations. What I’m describing here is only one.

Finally, I keep abreast of overall market health by tracking the ENERGY, FINANCIAL, HOMEBUILDER AND INDUSTRIAL sectors on a regular basis. This page will be updated regularly.
