We finished the second week on a down note. As the market was extremely choppy, we had to close a few trades for a loss and we skipped pretty much all trades except our Friday trade because all signals were negative. We finished the week down -10.49% while SPX lost -0.30% only. However, our account is still up 40.97% since the beginning of this program.
Initial trade set ups
For my SPX strategy, I dedicated a $3,600 initial amount that will be used to trade SPX PCS strategy per week. If this amount is depleted, I will evaluate the strategy to determine whether to continue or change it. If I grow this amount, I will scale up the trading.

SPX PCS account value
Our SPX net-liq dropped a bit last week but I expect it since the market is volatile and non-trending, well, it is trending but the trend is choppy and weak.
SPX PCS account vs SPX index net liq
However, comparing the account with SPX net-liq, we are still outperforming the market.
If the market continues being this choppy, I expect slower growth. I also plan on adding other trades to this strategy such as SPY trading. Also, the trading will be directional based on my proprietary indicators.
