I adjusted my trading rules so I do not buy new positions until the loss exposure gets into the positive territory. The total capital exposure is now calculated based on liquidation value at the stop loss, not the current value as I had that originally.
I believe, this will allow me better managing the portfolio during sell offs.
I am quite busy these days, so I won’t be writing much about my trading, however I will still be showing my trading records.

My mutual funds are now at the target allocation. At least those funds I already have purchased. I need to buy two more funds and start investing into them to get my mutual funds into balance with my target. I am thinking about buying NOIFX a foreign corporate bonds fund and ADVDX a dividend equity fund. Both funds require an initial investment which I need to save first. Since my broker doesn’t offer better interest than my savings account I will be saving for the initial investment in my savings account. After these funds will have been purchased I will start accumulating along with my plan into mutual funds and then I will start buying individual stocks and ETFs.
