Before we get to November’s numbers, here is a short reminder of the results from October. The full report from October can be found here.
Tradesight Tick Results for October 2012
Number of trades: 39
Number of losers: 18
Winning percentage: 53.8%
Net ticks: -27 ticks
Reminder: Here are the rules.
1) Totals for the month are based on trades that occurred on trading days in the calendar month.
2) Trades are based on the calls in the Messenger exactly as we call them and manage them and do not count everything you could have done from taking our courses and using our tools.
3) All trades are broken into two pieces, with the assumption that one half is sold at the first target and one half is sold at the final exit. These are then averaged. So if we made 6 ticks on one half and 12 on the second, that’s a 9-tick winner.
4) Pure losers (trades that just stop out) are considered 7 tick losers. We don’t risk more than that in the Messenger calls.
You can go through the reports and compare the breakdown that I give as each trade is reviewed.

A very strange month. Volume was light. We had the Hurricane that killed off action early. The election played a role. We had another bank Holiday in Veteran’s Day. We had Thanksgiving. In the end, we only had 26 trades trigger, compared to 36 the prior month and more typically. It’s just a weird month. Market volume was light the whole month, so size should have been limited. We started out strong and were profitable until the last two days of the month and then got stopped out of several trades in a row that killed us. Hopefully, December is better.
