Trading Depot Overview - My experiences from the last trading week 01.09.2024

Depot review

I held back a lot last week. Nevertheless, the record series continues unbroken. Since I published the portfolio on December 1st, 2023, I have been able to show a positive monthly performance every month. Including all book gains and losses, the previous trading week was a plus of 1.23%. Overall, I am satisfied with my trading strategy, which is quite profitable even in volatile times. My focus is on long-term, steady profit growth, which is better to be constant than disproportionately large.

Orders executed

Because I held back quite a lot, I only made four trades in the last trading week. These included a long position on Euronext NV and a short position on gold, which was stopped out at a loss on the same day. I also took a short position on the Nasdaq100, with a longer holding period. I also made another short position in gold on Friday, which is solidly in the plus so far.

Planned approach

For now, I'll wait and see what happens in the indices. If we see sustained breakouts in the DAX and Dow Jones Index, the record series will probably continue and I will take on more long positions. If we top that in one of the worst months on the stock market and start a correction, I will make stop loss adjustments in the current long positions and take short to medium-term short positions in various stocks - but as long as I don't have a clear picture of the signal situation, I won't place excessive trades.
