Volatile week(s) continue but I'm quite happy with the adjustments made in position size and max exposure inversely to volatility implemented recently.
YoY: +67%

It's not about how much it makes, but how much it doesn't give back.
#SystematicTrading
Weekly review: -5.89% ($SPY: -1.63%)
rough week with gaps up and down all over the place, a mine field of a trading week.
By definition it takes some time to adjust exposure (slowdown), next weeks will make or break for the month.
YoY: +59%

Monthly review October 2025: +7% ($SPY: +2.38%)
A pullback in the middle of the month followed by a nice run up to the end of the month, I'll take it!
Sharpe: 2.43

a good week, slow start but ec ended up at all-time high following the market.
YoY: +62%
#SystematicTrading #Next1000Trades
Weekly review: shorts doing the heavy lifting +6.9% ($SPY: +1.74%). Quick dip or drawdown, there's no other way but letting uncorrelated strategies take their turn.

Discovering Systematic Trading felt like what @nntaleb calls 'Hit by Lightning' in Fooled by Randomness. A shocking discovery that changed everything - This is for me! All of a sudden trading started to make a lot more sense.
#SystematicTrading
Weekly review: mostly flat, just slightly above water at +0.74% ($SPY: -0.28%). Holding up the gains from previous weeks at all-time highs would make it for a good month.

Just started listening to Fooled by Randomness on Audible - Nassim Taleb’s take on luck, risk, and markets resonates differently when you trade systematically. Curious to see how it sharpens my thought process.

#SystematicTrading is all about backtesting and data, but the real lessons come from actual market exposure.
Fortunately I was not afraid to jump into live trading as soon as possible. Testing strategies in real life is the only way to truly know what works and what fails.
Weekly review: pretty good but not great week, I'll take it +2.85% ($SPY: +0.96%). On track for a solid monthly performance if it holds.
Year-to-date: +42.42%
