Update Schwalbe trade

my current trade, still 7 weeks until expiration, already realized 90 % of profit, already reduced risk by 80 %
Data for 4 tranches: at the beginning: profit/risk 1360/2640, SPAN Margin at about 1.400 No fat tail risk.
now: profit/risk 1470/530 Margin at nearly zero. Bought back the sold vertical ($8) for $ 0.8
Risk of 530 starts now below 2300, more than 500 points (20%) lower ! No fat tail risk.
I let the trade expire without paying commissions at the end.

It looks like your T+0 line is above your UEL. Why not close the trade out completely and remove all the risk and capture more profit than waiting until expiration?
 
in TOS the t+0 is sometimes jumping around. It´s fantasy. Closing the trade will be now more expensive than let the trade expire. For the butterfly commissions are higher than the price you will get. Buying back the verticals will lower profit line. The trade is more than 600 points away from the verticals and 4 weeks left. I wait for just 10 cents for the verticals to buy them back, now at 20 cents.
 
In this current trade (MAR-JUN), how did you adjust to bring your UEL and MEL up since price never moved below the entry? Were those discretionary adjustments?
 
i sold another vertical when price was very far away from entry ( > 20 %) and after a while i bought back the first sold vertical for 90 % "rebate". Finally i also bought back one of 4 verticals for 85 % to move UEL and MEL near zero. This was discretionary because a situation like this does not happen often but offered a good opportunity. Always try to reduce risk for a reasonable price.
 
last limits were filled, no more risk for the last 4 weeks :cool: selling butterflies does not make sense, commissions higher than profit. let is expire.

My trade will expire on Friday with a nice profit, for 4 tranches. Initial risk was 2640, my max risk was 4370 but more than about 30 % (!) away from current price and only for some days (April15 to 28) and only below 2290, above it was only 370. After new adjustment 530 and finally since May 26 no risk at all for nearly 4 weeks with an expirationline at plus 1440. (commissions not included).
Never had a fat tail risk.
in relation to the max risk of this trade it´s a profit of 32,95 % in 3 months. Planned capital per tranche (very conservative): 5k. performance 7,2 %.
only 3 adjustments were done,
expiration without any commissions on my account
new trade starts on MONDAY 22nd.
Join now for $199 (quarterly price) until Sept 18th.

on friday my trade expired with a nice profit and without paying any commission. not a too big profit but no stress at all.
Today i start my new trade end of day.
when i enter the trade i know all my adjustment levels right from the beginning.
If you want to join hurry up
$199 quarterly price.
 
the new trade started and some nice adjustments were made. UEL (upper expiration line) for one tranche was at the beginning at 282,5
MEL (middle expiration line, sea of death) at -717,5, same for LEL
now UEL at 682,5 plus 142 %
MEL at -317, minus 55 %
LEL at -1817,
 
my 1 year performance on a live account, trading my Schwalbe, very small discretionary forex trades (not really successful) and since 1 month a new system, based on my Schwalbe system but much shorter timeframe, so more like a Kolibri trade than a Schwalbe :)
new Schwalbe trade starts in 3 weeks.
Profit per tranche (i traded 5 of them) for the Schwalbe at the moment at about 682, lowest point of expiration line was at 1817, (comm not included)
Infos about the Kolibri in the near future, (some last tests not finished yet)

current Schwalbe trade (5 tranches). Limitorder for buying back the last Vertical at 40 cents, sold for $ 8 some weeks ago. Will lift up lower expiration line up to plus 1 k soon. expires in 3 weeks
some additional changes were made to reduce risk in case of a massive drawdown without reducing profit.
max risk (lower expiration line) was 9 k, Profit 3.5 k, margin at about 6k (?)

limit got filled, now no risk anymore until expiration, LEL at the same level as MEL at 1k
only 3 sort of adjustments total, but different prices by reducing the risk, if more than one tranche traded.
Example: sold vertical for $8, then reducing risk by buying back for $1.70 1.20 0.80 0.60 0.40
Next trade starts in 3 weeks
 
no more risk in the trade, will expire in 3 weeks, nice trade, nice profit.
there will be a revised version with better risk reward ratio and some more changes, which makes it even better and more profitable without higher risk

next trade starts on monday, 21st sept. Don´t miss to join
