Performance

april wrap - down another 12k
april P&L: -$12,384 4-month total: -$60k not improving fast enough. the numbers # Figure 1: Monthly and cumulative P&L Jan-Apr 2023. Trend is slightly improving but still deep red.
first 90 days live - reality check
3 months into trading with real money and i’m down $40k. not what i expected but also exactly what i should’ve expected. paper trading for 3 years (2020-2022) gave me this false confidence that live trading would be similar. LMAO nope. completely different game when actual money is on the line.
march 2023: first month live trading results
first month done # march 15 - march 31 (2.5 weeks live) went from paper trading to real money. lost $180k in february learning. figured some shit out. went live march 15
week 3 performance: sharpe 2.1 actual vs 1.64 backtest
three weeks live = enough data for initial validation # march 15 - march 30 (15 trading days)
