Cats and Dogs Trades Results This Week Thus Far

THIS WEEK UNDER THE CATS AND DOGS TRADES, WE'VE HAD 17 TRADES TRIGGER AS OF YESTERDAY'S CLOSE.

Of those 17 trades, 10 have offered gains , 6 have had losses and 1 is around break-even. Where you entered and exited is a function of your particular % P/L. A lot of you have contacted me for 3C intraday charts to gauge where the trade was and some of you have had excellent exits. I'm not aware of anyone who has given up a gain for a loss. As far as losses, we've talked about risk manageent on these trades so whatever the actuaul trade loss, no losses should have represented more then 2% of portfolio and as I have stated for trades like these, I prefer to keep the 5 risk of portfolio between 1-1.5%, it makes taking the trades worthwhile and with a majority having offered gains, it's a good strategy to keep losses minimal while being able to hit some big winners.

We started off the Cats and Dogs trades last week with a 4-day 215% gain in XOMA.
