S&P had a nice up week, but was unable to close above the daily 50SMA and 200SMA (blue and brown lines on chart below). It will have to do that next week to have the Santa Claus rally! I traded IWM for +1.97% and VAW for +2.56%. I'm finished trading for the year and ended up with a -1.9% loss on my trading portfolio. Although it is a loss, I'm happy with the results since I was down over -5% this past year at one point. This has been my second losing year in the last 12 years of trading (first was 2008, -2%), so keeping the loses very low is important to me. I feel I've corrected my trading mistakes and look forward to another year of trading as a hobby in 2016!
