Running OmniVest with ARM4 portfolio, though constrained margin to 135%. Realized $2100 loss today with $1900 unrealized loss currently. The biggest problem were two specific positions, one which is still on. R12-L-ELS went long PBR on 11/29/2013 with 1124.28 loss currently, unrealized. R12-L-ELS went long WLT on 11/21/2013 at 15.87 and sold on open this AM at 1108.42 loss. Another closed trade from R12-L-ELS contributed additional 530.42 loss at open today. Don't mean to analyze this to death - that is why I prefer technical system, but I find it curious that a single strategy is responsible for $2700 combined unrealized and realized losses over the same period.
