Year end 2006 Results

The task I like most about doing something new is reviewing my performance and trading is no exception. I compiled all my trades in a spreadsheet and found some interesting results. The take away message is my method in 2006 paid handsomely. I look forward to continuing in 2007. The only question is will it work as well!?!?!
