Team,

The best word to describe Q1: Correction!

Correction does not mean the world is ending. These things tend to happen at least once a year. Welcome to trading.


March Trading Results: -15.49% ; YTD +3.63%. I’ll be reporting these results for the US Investing Championship!

  • I played pretty aggressively with my YTD returns in March, resulting in big intra-month swings in my PnL

  • I love the way I am currently positioned in the market. I view this as a situation where I had to take a punch, to deliver a punch in Q2. TBD.

  • I am pretty happy to have a positive YTD result in such a tough tape

  • Will do a more in-depth review this weekend and look for optimizations


HAGE 🍻

-Andrew
