After a good 2019 learning about how to trade, this 2020 was fine in so many ways, that I would like to review.

The math result? I did a 36%,

2020 started with $1.420,94
and ended with   $1.934,41
so the P&L was $513,47   or a 36,1%

Total moves 188
wins 157     84%
loses   31    16%

This is the screen with the main data of win/loss events:

I have ordered by date of long move and the main major losses come from issues related to the crash happened in March.

Some lessons from data:

1. I have to stop loss better than I did, this happened to me in 2019 too.
2. Portfolio management was better done in second half of the year and it gave me more consistent small wins.
3. To pay attention to ex-date gave me a nice 47$ of dividends.
4. The average of earnings have been 1,99$ in comparison with 2019 is worst (2,32%).
5. 10% of the worst moves made me lose 705$ which is a lot.
6. I have to improve on the way I’m trading, I still have some negative skew.
7. The rally I did during the last 3 months enabled me to recuperate of a disaster. I have to focus myself on what I did well during Q4 because it worked.
8. I have learned to read better the market timing indicators and this valuation has enabled me to exit and enter in values with better results.

Conclusions

• My 2019 trades were quite better than 2020 in so many ways: benefit, number of errors and bias.
• I have to concentrate more on the process and avoid the noise.

What to expect for 2021?

• I have increase the funds with 2000$, so we will start the year with 3934$.
• I will use the same percentage when opening positions: 1%, 2%, 3%.
