Hello JBTers, and happy new year! It's been relatively quiet in the JBT discussion forums, but for me personally, a lot of things have happened:
1. Another JBookTrader version was released, which added to the stability of the platform. 2. I traded with JBookTrader live, every day, methodically, and without interference. It paid off, as my account returned 50%. I was trading 8 strategies, 4 short-only, and 4 long-only. Each strategy is independent, and trades 1 ES contract. The performance chart (from the IB report) is below. 3. In 2013, I am scaling it up to 14 ES strategies, and starting to accumulate the data for another instrument (the 30-yr bond US future). 4. Three months ago, I started tracking the performance of my IB account with RapaCap, which is the service to match best traders with the capital. Based on the short term tracking performance, I made it to the top 10 traders: http://rapacapintro.com/account/leaderboard/landingpage My account is shown as nonlinear/JBookTrader in the leaderboard. 5. I am continuing to work on JBookTrader to improve its robustness, features, and performance. Sometime in January, I'll release the next version of JBookTrader, which would include: a) improved performance of the "brute force" and the "divide-and-conquer" optimizer b) automated holiday detection c) portfolio manager (for better handling position sizing when running multiple strategies) d) new performance metric e) enhancement to trading schedule f) re-subscription feature for long-running JBT sessions g) other minor changes and improvements Feel free to share your success stories (and failure stories) with JBookTrader in this thread. Good luck to you all in 2013, Eugene Kononov. <https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-Gz_jibyYJSg/UOMt0RjHOKI/AAAAAAAAADE/WZIQYCu2FEY/s1600/performance.png> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JBookTrader" group.
