It’s been an odd week, with that price bump in the middle before the market settled back down to where it was previously. Of course, it’s in a dip on Sunday when I do my numbers…!
Here are this week’s figures, which look odd because I moved stuff around:
No, I didn’t lose another $2,000 in Copy Trading – I moved it to Trading and Banking (half and half). 😁
In detail:
- Trading up 0.69% (actually down a bit)
- Copy Trading down 53.40% (actually up a tiny bit)
- Banking up 17.65% (actually down a bit)
- Overall down 2.40%
Strangely, it was a really good week for me, despite the numbers. My ’26 Picks are all fairly stable, and BTC, ETH and SOL are moving in a boring sideways range. But I caught that mid-week price bump when it hit and sold my bits of BTC and ETH that I couldn’t include in dual investment (it doesn’t go to 8 decimals), my dual BTC that I’d bought at $71k went at $71,750 (so I got my 1%+, plus the 1%+ from the times it didn’t sell), and I ended up with more USDT to put into dual ETH opportunities!
This is the second week I’ve made about 5% in dual investment, which is honestly an insane amount of profit, though I did recently discover that I’d misunderstood some of how it works, which means I’m doing it slightly differently. I’ll cover that in a mid-week post soon.
I don’t believe those profits will continue indefinitely – though I’ll happily double my money every 3 months if they do – but I think I’ve found a setup that will help my Trading profits grow significantly and which fits my approach. I’m quite excited!
Ready for the Bull
I’m also pleased with the way I moved funds, getting ready for an eventual price rise in the market.
Copy Trading has disappointed me, apart from a couple of good months last year. I expected steady growth but have had 50% up, 35% down, wobble wobble wobble, with less and less profit each month and a fairly consistent inability by lead traders to profit from big dips, big rises, and even sideways markets. I suppose that’s normal, but I had hoped that (presumed) professionals would do better.
I did add a couple of other traders when I gave up testing (because it was so expensive), who have been doing quite nicely so far – Scalp Daily (03BDD68) is back, and 30*****6 (1D6F394) added. That spreads the risk between 3 traders, which is a bit better, but I still have less confidence than I did. And if they prove me wrong, the remaining Copy Trade funds will soon build back up, won’t they?
What about the $2k I removed?
With prices way down in a dip at the moment, I wanted those funds in places where they’re more likely to gain.
$1,000 into Trading is for dual investment – as I’ve said, that’s going really well. Nice and steady, too.
$1,000 into Banking is for when prices rise. I no longer expect Copy Trading to catch the rise, so I’m playing safe and putting it into BTC, ETH and SOL. When prices go back up, all three of those will gain value, plus the interest they’re gaining consistently.
I’ve also re-thought dual investment with a view to profiting from upwards movements, but that’ll be another post.
’26 Picks
Boring, boring. Meh. Nothing moving.
Only two weeks to go until my year end. Still a long way from profit, or even breaking even.
How was your week? Did you catch the mini-pump? Would love to hear from you!
