CFD Trading Report Monthly Wrap, a detailed look at where we made and lost money during the month.
We report our performance on a monthly basis, dividing our trades into three portfolios - Australian Stocks, UK Stocks, and Global Markets - which comprise commodities, currencies, bonds, and US. We report overall portfolio results for each of the three trading accounts, each in their home currency, AUD, GBP, and USD.
For each trading portfolio, we will provide:
- A table of the closed trades from the month, with a combined Profit and Loss (P/L)
- A Portfolio Performance Table. The information in this table is rolling, i.e. the trades for the month are added to this table on a continuous basis. This table contains trades that were opened after 1 Dec 2008.
Below are a few notes which provide further explanation.
Current Account Balance – includes all closed trades from 1 Dec 2008 to the current month end
Overall Return – Total P/L to date, as a percentage of our starting balance
Win % - Percentage of trades where we book a profit
Scratched Trades – Trades where we were stopped out at break even
Max % Draw down – This is the maximum amount, in percentage terms, in which our account decreases from our maximum equity line. Graphically, it is the maximum distance between our Maximum Equity (Pink) Line and our Current Account Balance (Blue) Line in the chart below.
