Was looking for this, thank you! Got a lot of homework to this weekend ;)
Great Framework! I'll go through and do my results:
(1-10) higher = better/happy with, lower = worse/not happy with
Profitability: +364.6%, about 70% more than the year prior. (10)
MDD: -26.7% (3)
Trading Strategy: Cash Yield + Momentum Discretionary (10)
Capital Management: The average day in 2020 I had 94% of Buying Power deployed (8)
Portfolio Management / Trading Plan: Executed with a high level of compliance (10)
Trading Log: Tracked Cash Yield trades laboriously, did not actively track "ego" trades (6)
Diversification: Had 60+ positions at almost all times this year, no one position >8% of my BP (9)
Emotional Restraint: Did an ~ok~ job keeping emotions out of ego trades, did a perfect job keeping emotions out of Cash yield Trades (7)
Education: Learned more about options complexities reading "Positional Options Trading"
Routine: Simple Routine; allwos for deviation and trading from different venues - was effective in preparing me for the day (9)
Best Trade of 2020: Buying TRNE at 11 and selling it the day the merger completed
Worst Trade of 2020: Shorting JKS in the high 40's for the first time & stressing for all of october about the position until I eked out a tiny profit on a huge DD - no bueno
Improvements for 2021: Continue to incorporate Skew into my cash yield strategy, continually improve my risk management & hedging techniques, start to track ego trades, work into an even bigger firm account, pray to god the firm's trading desk re-opens, im sick of trading from home LOL
