New poll.

Have you outperformed the SP500 YTD performance of 7.5% this year?

Total votes: 287
 


Have you outperformed the S&P 500 year-to-date? The S&P has gained 7.5% this year so far, how does your trading performance compare?

Mike

No, not this year
I am just +5.4% YTD mainly due to a negative performance in January that I didn't contain as I should...

Are you?

Yes I am having a good year. Not as stellar as last year, but above average so far. Around 20%.

160.5pts = 1975.5 - 1815

Roughly 120 days of trading since January. 6 ticks of profit on the ES each trading day would beat the S&P.
