I completely blew this final trade of the year. Rode out my remaining position until the bitter end, watching the market slowly and methodically climb against me and most of the profit I had realized along the way...ultimately cried uncle near the final hour of today's abbreviated holiday session and eeked out a small gain for the final month. But more importantly, I won 11 of the 12 trades I made using this method in 2015, despite trading way below my standards in terms of proficiency. Again, I love how truly forgiving this trade is towards the kind of stupidity I continue to impose upon myself.

Since there wasn't much interest in this thread overall (leekaufman, where did you go?), I've decided not to publicly track my 2016 trades. But I would love to continue to discuss the M3 method with anyone who is interested and especially if you are willing to offer some pointers that I could no doubt use.
