Natural Gas Exit and March Performance

On Easter monday natural gas finally hit its stopp loss. I only noticed today as I was not online on monday but that should not be a big problem since the price at Henry dropped a bit again today. Of course this could mean natural gas' intense upswing on monday might be a technical reaction. In any way I exited the position today with some 14% profit after fees. The hypothetical profit according to the system is some 17%, which is still within my expected deviation of up to 5% due to fees, timing issues and tracking error of the financial instruments used. Here is the final graph:


Sugar, nickel and most indices are maxed out positions that are still going up. I will provide uptdates on those as they come but I hope the upward trend will remain in tact, which is to be expected regarding the FEDs bubble building low interest rate politic...

As a final note I would like to mention that the portfolio made a return of 1.75% during March. Performance could have been a bit better but profit taking by market participants during the last few days of the quarter shed away something like half a percent.

That is it for today. Going to celebrate the internship offer I received today for the summer now and will be back soon with some more news and thoughts :)
