QUISQUEYA, MI AMOR/EL OCEAN ME LLAMA
Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic
At the end of 2019, I missed my flight to Beijing. I didnt get my visa in time. It was my fault and the Chinese officials at the consulate weren’t going to do anything to help me expedite it. So instead of panicking, I booked a flight and went back to one of my faves: Santo Domingo. Good thing I avoided China altogether because what started out as murmurings of a strange sickness in China would be declared a global health pandemic in March 2020.
Fast forward 7 months and a work from mandate turned into being furloughed from my tourism job in New York. With a rapidly approcahing winter, continued quarantine requirements. Restauration (except for what could be delvered to your home) and nightllife in New York all but dried up. Finally, the dream of being able to focus fully on the business came true. Temporarily relocating to Latin America would prove critical in my quest to be a consistently profitable trader. The currency arbitrage meant that my overhead was signifcantly reduced and my margin for error increased.
DR was one of the few countries in the world that managed to keep its borders open with aggressive testing at entry and departure and a "toque de queda" (curfew). Daily life was certainly changed a bit but it allowed space for me to breath in a world that had gone mad and allowed me the ability to lay the foundation for what would later become AlgoGPSBeta™. Daily runs along the Malecón don't hurt either. 😜
AlgoGPSBeta™ Recap - 7/10:
Today's AlgoGPSBeta™ winner(s) is(are)...

$HIMS & $TSM
Another incredible week in the market. Algo just keeps blowing my mind!!! Really pleased with where we are in development. Obviously nothing in the market is guaranteed but its truly humbling how Algo is truly putting probability on our side and right at our finger tips.
We work to keep accuracy and execution above 80%. With increased accuracy, it has become clear that we can increase our initial take profit from 30% -> 40% on a good forward basis.
On to the trades, $HIMS weakness alerted early out of the gate. We secured the 34P and was able to lock-in 40% within seconds. Then onto $TSM, same play on chip weakness. Only issue is that we got a little too cute and kept a runner on that we shouldnt have. First batch secured 40% and then the runner was a loss. Finally, in the other account we took $IREN 41.5P and sold at 40%. Wasnt as clean a move but we trusted the process and were rewarded.
Left alot of money on the table but as always....PROFIT IS PROFIT!!!!

First time I’m sharing this...
mBOT-ai™ started with $10,000.
$SPX 0DTE only.
10% per position.
Compounding.
Rules-based execution.
115 trades later:
$10,000 → $117,704
+1077% return
87% win rate
The biggest edge uncovered was its consistency.
Still in the testing phase. This is paper trading.
But there is now enough data to begin connecting it to a real account.
If people are interested in following this journey, I will set up a public test where anyone can see this trading in real time. If people are interested.

July 4th, 2030. In just four years, almost every part of America will be reachable by an autonomous car.
People don't believe me when I say that, but it's already happened for me.
In fact, I've probably driven through your community by my robot.
Which gets me to a new point.
I've been all over this country with my robot, and there are some places that are stunningly beautiful: Wyoming, Montana, Alaska, California, and Utah. Even the East Coast has stunning natural beauty in places like Maine and New Hampshire. It's different than Yosemite National Park, of course, but they have their own national park up there that is really nice.
Someday you're going to pay a cheap price for a thrill ride ticket. Yesterday, I did basically San Jose to San Diego in one drive along the coast. This is a way better drive than going to Disneyland and riding the Matterhorn. Disneyland costs something like $150 or more per person; for a family of three or four people, that gets expensive. It’s cheaper to take an autonomous car and buy a box of strawberries.
Also coming in 2030, you're probably going to be wearing a pair of glasses. I know you hate the idea; I have to wear glasses and I hate the idea too. But I've seen the prototypes in the labs and they are so stunning that someday a company is going to bring a product to market that makes us all go, "Oh."
I still believe that company is Apple. There’s a reason for that: they own exclusive rights to Formula One. A lot of people watch Formula One (I watch it myself, though I'm not rich enough to go many times). Someday you're going to have a 3D track on your kitchen counter and you'll be watching the race in a whole new, mind-blowing way. You're going to show it to all your guests at your Fourth of July party and they’re all going to want one.
By 2030, the question isn't whether I have a robot in my house. I already have a couple of robots, like the Matic robot that cleans our floors, and I’ll probably have another one by the end of this year. I'm talking about a humanoid. The real question is: how many humanoids will be in my house at my Fourth of July party in 2030? I could see saving up a little bit to rent a whole bunch of them. Why not? It’s America.
Someday soon, you're going to have robots lighting off the fireworks in certain communities. When I lived in Seattle, we had mortars on our front driveway. It's a little dangerous for a human to get close to, so you send the robot. That’s what I learned in Las Vegas when I met the bomb disposal unit; they let me drive a robot around and blow up a bomb. As an American, that highly entertained me because blowing up bombs is just the best.
That’s why we all like fireworks, except for my autistic son who can’t stand them. He has shown me a different way, so we go to drone shows now.
Regardless, soon you’re going to have humanoid robots lighting the fireworks. In fact, I won’t be shocked if a robot company does that tonight and uses it for marketing tomorrow.
Happy birthday America!
Hope your day is like a box of strawberries.
AlgoGPSBeta™ - Wk in Review (7/2):
WOWWW!!! BUT CAUTION AHEAD!!!
Really blown away by the market this wk and especially Algo performances. I'm especially blown away by the performance of our new Algo.L+. Just stunning! Took off trading Thurs. because of too much party in Rio and it being a holiday shortened week. With no losing trades last wk, these are the times where I am the most cautious. Looks like $AAPL was the resounding Algo.L+ > winner out the gate on Thurs. Sad but ok with having missed it.
Finally, happy to report that Algo accuracy is creeping up into the 80% range while keeping execution steady. Next wk will be nothing short of FASCINATING!!

This has been an INSANE wk of trading AND I'm back in Rio so I just haven't had the time to post Algo performance. Will get bk to it soon enough. Suffice it to say....not a single losing trade this wk. Obviously great time to trade but these are the times that scare me the most.
