How the portfolio finished the week and what mattered.
Every week I close the loop on the recent performance. Wins and losses get reported the same way. The live record on Dub is the source of truth.

By period:
Everything in the scorecard above is live, real money I have traded publicly since January 12, 2026. Before a dollar went in, the system was tested on six years of market data. Every trade since has been public, so you can check the whole record before you trust a word of it.

What happened this week
The portfolio finished the week at -17.6%, against the broad market at -1.2%. This was the hardest week the record has had. The slide built as the week went on, modest on Tuesday, with most of the fall landing across Wednesday and Thursday. By Friday’s close the drop from the June high stood at -30%, the deepest since going live.
Underneath, all ten positions fell. The two steepest each gave up about a quarter of their value, at -24.8% and -24.4%. One more fell -13.5%, and the remaining seven finished between -1.1% and -8.6%.
Drawdowns like this one showed up across the six years of testing before a dollar went in, and the process stays the same through them. It’s my own money in the drop, so I feel the week the way any reader would, and Monday I run the same steps I run every week.
The record on Dub now stands at $53,529 from the $30,000 it started with, -$11,454 for the week, just over six months in.
Next Monday
Everything above is free, and every trade behind it is public on Dub. On Monday the system scores around two thousand US stocks again and sets the portfolio for the week.
Paid subscribers get the full list before the market opens, every position with its exact weight and its stop, the same one I place with my own money that morning.
That list is the part you act on.
