Another one bites the dust

Lost DSTI today. Lost 5.03% over 14 days. That one was going nowhere, so I'm happy to have the dry powder. Of course, I wish it would have turned on the gas, but I didn't think that was happening.

Work was too busy to look at things today, so no new positions. With today's exits, I'll have a little room to operate in a couple days. 5% positions seems to be about the right portfolio size for this trading strategy. I want to have room almost always, but not too much. The churn is about right with 18 - 20 spots available.

I took a bit of a beating today, losing almost exactly half a percent. The market lost a bit too, but not as much. Just about even up over the past two days now.

May the trend be your friend. or something.
