Bitcoin made a new all-time high today. My personal portfolio, broadly speaking, continues to perform well.
But from a trading standpoint, I underperformed relative to the benchmark, despite the favorable tailwind of price discovery.
That discrepancy is worth exploring, and it’s precisely why I’m writing this. Not to bemoan a weak green week, but to emphasize the value of structural integrity—particularly when outcomes diverge from expectations.
For context, June and July thus far have been standout months both in returns and execution. This week, however, marked the weakest performance I’ve logged in the past two months, even as Bitcoin surged. My trades this week were more about capital preservation than alpha generation, aimed primarily at mitigating drawdown risk.
Still, and this part is critical, psychological capital remained largely untouched. That doesn’t happen by accident. It’s the result of having a durable framework. A system that allows me to diagnose performance with precision, rather than emotion.
