Based on my belief that the market was heading lower, I got into a bear position in mid December 2009 through purchase of DXD, Ultrashort Dow 30 ETF. If I had just held on to that position until early February, I could have secured a roughly 6% gain since the end of 2009. However, I was impatient and started trading that led to losses.
ReplyDeleteAfter the initial miscues of Jan 13, I was too hasty to exit my DXD position and so didn't benefit much from the correct positioning. A good entry but a bad exit.
Even though the record till 2/15 shows 21 gains and 5 losses, the money management was poor, leading to a net loss of 0.48%. Clearly, more capital was committed to the larger losing trades and not much to the winning trades.
Going forward, more detailed analysis will be possible with the availability of short-term charts that have not expired.
