Instead, I'm into fiscal advisory services and accounting. Yeah - that really dull stuff :-) As to the portfolio: I've actually not taken any live trades with OV. Even after a year, I am still trying to get my head around a few confusing concepts. The work that Ed's team has been doing is amazing, mindblowing but also very confusing if you don't spend hours and hours on learning what to do with the tools, and what not to do / what not to expect. (For example : it took me quite a while to realize that having selected an account from the accounts page, and then going into "Tools" and messing around a bit with some tools, "adding" something, I would not even realize that I'd be adding that stuff to THAT particular account that I "was on"... (without any account name mentioned on a page..) It took me some darn time to figure out the entire OV eco-system, I can tell you that... And, in general, I tend not to regard myself to be all that stupid... ;-) Also, allow me to say: Steve, thanks for setting up your omnivesting.com site. I am without doubt that I can learn much more from your site on a proper usage of OV. THANK YOU, STEVE ! As a small "hail to thee" I have just ordered your "NASDAQ-100 HISTORIC LIST IN OMNIVEST FORMAT". I had not realized before, that we could end up SO far off, simply on a static Nasdaq100 list... Ouch. Anyway, so I can't tell you from personal OV live trading experience. And I am still hesitant to put it to real life work. You see, sure I can create a USD 14 Billion 2000-2015 equity outcome, 94 trades a month, a CAR of 116% and a CALMAR of 3.2 , 67% profitable. But I just don't trust such figures. And I shouldn't either :) So in the end it is all about this: can I be using OV to make real trades in a proper way... Or just stick to more simple systems, good old OmniTrader ;-) and be managing trades. Since I tend to believe that spending my hours on managing (perhaps not the best) trades might get me further than spending those hours and hourse on endless equity curves that do not represent real life in the end. So I guess this is my way of saying: I'm still not convinced that I can get OV work for me as the ultimate trading vehicle ;-) What I have also found: making the slightest adjustments to the Account Settings (like capping the trades to max 2% of daily volume) will have considerable impact on any outcome. Anyway , just a few thoughts, and I now shall have a great time reading the material on your website! Thanks again. |
