Drilling down - (The Daily equity curve)

Drilling down a yearly equity curve to a weekly than onto a daily (equity curve) go some way in displaying how the volatility of returns can play with your emotions.


Portfolio 

Displaying the same equity curve & drilling down to a lower time frame goes some way in displaying the volatility of the securities in your portfolio.


Drill down period (Yearly periodicity) 

The drill-down period is from 15th February 2021 to 1st April 2021 (totalling 34 days or about a month) The monthly equity curve belies the true volatility of trading.

The same drill-down period (Daily periodicity)

Using a daily view, the daily volatility is clearly displayed. The jaggedness of the daily returns drives your emotions that can invoke a feeling of frustration. Viewing your returns over a longer time frame smooths the equity curve & your emotions - this was the point [USER=17857]@qldfrog[/USER] made in a recent post in his thread.
