Hats off, this is heroic compared to my anemic performance so far this year, which is ~ +4%. I have experienced some incredible up days (+7%) and down days fully cancelling those up days and more. The volatility has of course been emotionally draining, and served only to compound the news inflicted misery.YTD P&L. Up to now, so includes this morning
Look at the sector attribution. If I was only trading financials (some CTAs do!) I would be down ~10%

I have been scratching my head to understand out how you have managed to create this steady upward path despite the incredible volatility. I am guessing DO is the thing.
Dang. I thought my +20.4% YTD was good.Code:Total p&l is 20.820%

Dang. I thought my +20.4% YTD was good.![]()
Or maybe it's massive beta! (Actually, based on our FS pages, I take more risk than you do.)That 0.4% extra is my massive alpha.
