Quantitative Live Trading Journal Day 28 | 2026-08-26|Week 3
Equity: 2,939.78
Another weekly report, and another 7 days without any market action. muu, soxl, cbrs, and aaoi were basically all in one-way declines, so the entire week's returns were used to lower the average holding cost. I lost quite a bit compared with last week. There's nothing I can do—in my view, no quantitative strategy is a holy grail that guarantees profits every week. Naturally, drawdowns occur when market conditions are unfavorable. Clearly, the past 2 weeks have not been very favorable, so I can only use the sleep stra

I was just about to go to the forum and rant, but then I saw my balance and thought, forget it—the market is always right. If I hadn't managed to resist holding a long position this time, my blood pressure would probably look even worse than the candlestick chart.
During the repeated intraday swings, $VVV never quite had enough momentum whenever it tried to move higher. The rebound was weak, clearly suppressed from above. I watched it fail three times to break higher, so I went short one lot with the trend. It was genuinely sluggish, but once it made its move, it was genuinely rewarding.

U.S. M2 Money Supply Growth Hits Four-Year High: Liquidity Returns, But the Rules Have Changed
The U.S. M2 money supply has expanded at its fastest annual pace in four years, signaling a decisive end to the post-pandemic monetary contraction that defined 2022 and 2023. This reversal is not merely a statistical correction; it represents a fundamental shift in the liquidity regime governing global financial markets. After the Federal Reserve’s aggressive quantitative tightening drained over $1.8 trillion from the system, the renewed expansion of broad money suggests that private-sector credit cr

#SOL
SOLANA (SOL) MARKET ANALYSIS — $97.12
SOL is currently trading around $97.12, sitting directly below a very important resistance area.
The short-term structure remains bullish, but the market is also becoming overheated after the recent rally. Current technical analysis shows SOL holding well above its short-term moving averages, while RSI is around 79, indicating strong buying momentum but also an elevated risk of short-term profit-taking.
The 1-day chart is giving a bullish signal as long as SOL remains above $92. The important battle is now between $97 and $103.30. If buyers push SOL

The $280 billion gamble—the options market is more nervous than you are
NVIDIA has not yet released its earnings report, but the options market has already placed its bets.
Based on options pricing, NVIDIA’s potential two-way market cap swing after its earnings report could reach $280 billion. What does $280 billion mean? It is higher than the market capitalization of roughly 90% of the individual companies in the S&P 500. This swing alone exceeds the total market capitalization of the vast majority of publicly listed companies.
Interestingly, the volatility expected by the options market this

ETH 4-hour chart analysis (August 26)
Look at the chart:
ETH took off after retesting the lower support area of the ascending channel near point B
It directly broke through point C, namely the entire channel, then accelerated upward and encountered resistance in the point A range
After multiple unsuccessful attempts to break through the point A (2520~2560) range, it is clearly a resistance zone
Overall, looking at the trend over the past few days, the bulls have pushed too hard
Point A has remained unbroken
Therefore, the price trajectory needs to pull back to point C (2360~2385)!
Point C is t

Retail investor: I run the wheel. It's the complete system... premium coming in from both sides.
Me: Look at this 10 year chart of $Q & run your wheel over it in your head.
Retail investor: Ok...
Me: Phase one. You sell a cash secured put. Your money sits frozen for months next to the Nasdaq doing 15% ish a year.
Retail investor: Fine, but then I get assigned & own shares.
Me: Usually after a little drop from a crappy valuation... So still assigned at a bad price. Then the wheel says sell covered calls on it. So the recovery starts... & your shares get called away at the bottom of the bounce.
