Of course, it&#8217;s in a dip on Sunday when I do my numbers&#8230;!<\/p>\n<p>Here are this week&#8217;s figures, which look odd because I moved stuff around:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.publish0x.com\/prod\/fs\/images\/31c58f8eacdc201f95ad59d22ffbae7ba8cd245049ab13c28ae8c0e288075163.png\" alt=\"Day 342 numbers\" width=\"301\" height=\"310\" data-id=\"V7G6Wk2l6ryg1r9n\" \/><\/p>\n<p>No, I didn&#8217;t lose another $2,000 in Copy Trading &#8211; I moved it to Trading and Banking (half and half). \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n<p>In detail:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Trading up 0.69% (actually down a bit)<\/li>\n<li>Copy Trading down 53.40% (actually up a tiny bit)<\/li>\n<li>Banking up 17.65% (actually down a bit)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Overall down 2.40%<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Strangely, it was a really good week for me, despite the numbers. My &#8217;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&#8217;t include in dual investment (it doesn&#8217;t go to 8 decimals), my dual BTC that I&#8217;d bought at $71k went at $71,750 (so I got my 1%+, plus the 1%+ from the times it didn&#8217;t sell), and I ended up with more USDT to put into dual ETH opportunities!<\/p>\n<p>This is the second week I&#8217;ve made about 5% in dual investment, which is honestly an insane amount of profit, though I did recently discover that I&#8217;d misunderstood some of how it works, which means I&#8217;m doing it slightly differently. I&#8217;ll cover that in a mid-week post soon.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t believe those profits will continue indefinitely &#8211; though I&#8217;ll happily double my money every 3 months if they do &#8211; but I think I&#8217;ve found a setup that will help my Trading profits grow significantly and which fits my approach. I&#8217;m quite excited!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media2.giphy.com\/media\/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExMnp5bHN6NHV0am9qajc1cWN3d2QyeWg5MW43ZmV2OHF6MmUweDRrMSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw\/PLscHbw08qQ7qDhpPw\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"giphy.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Ready for the Bull<\/h2>\n<p>I&#8217;m also pleased with the way I moved funds, getting ready for an eventual price rise in the market.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s normal, but I had hoped that (presumed) professionals would do better.<\/p>\n<p>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 &#8211; 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&#8217;t they?<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media4.giphy.com\/media\/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExc3N3Ynh0YnA3ZTVidW54dm13eTE5djZuOHRyZGxlZDh3OWJrZXVvOCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw\/RCtKcMeeIlIFskmH7C\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"giphy.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What about the $2k I removed?<\/p>\n<p>With prices way down in a dip at the moment, I wanted those funds in places where they&#8217;re more likely to gain.<\/p>\n<p>$1,000 into Trading is for dual investment &#8211; as I&#8217;ve said, that&#8217;s going really well. Nice and steady, too.<\/p>\n<p>$1,000 into Banking is for when prices rise. I no longer expect Copy Trading to catch the rise, so I&#8217;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&#8217;re gaining consistently.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve also re-thought dual investment with a view to profiting from upwards movements, but that&#8217;ll be another post.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8217;26 Picks<\/h2>\n<p>Boring, boring.
