As Q1 of 2025 comes to an end, here’s my trading result so far…
My portfolio is up 3.87% (while the S&P 500 is down 8.81%).
Here’s the breakdown…
What’s not working
Long-term stock trading systems are getting their butts kicked right now. The weakness of the equity market has put them in a drawdown.
Futures trend following system is in a drawdown because most of the market sectors are choppy.
What’s working
Short-term trading systems are positive because the increase in volatility causes stocks to be temporarily mispriced. This allows the trading system to buy stocks when it’s extremely oversold, and then sell them when it bounce higher during the day.
Follow the money trading system is positive because it's long gold (and it’s shining brighter than my forehead).
Now…
I’ve no idea which trading system will do well each year (my crystal ball is about as reliable as my fitness app that thinks I'm exercising when I'm just walking to the fridge), and that’s why I adopt multiple trading systems.
So no matter what surprises the market throws at me, I’ll have a trading system that thrives in that market condition.
For those trading systems that underperform, I have proper risk management to protect my downside.
