The spice must flow

Second year in a row completing a detailed trading year-in-review with my brother @DyslexicVenture

Biggest takeaway from the year that we both agreed upon was to take more profit off the table. I finished the year up ~250% (12/31/23 to 12/26/24). Crypto port is currently up ~350% since I began my detailed tracking (one of my focuses for this year is to dial this in even further).

I am pleased with this performance but it honestly should have been closer to 1000% (not exaggerating) based on how many trades I allowed myself to roundtrip massive amounts of profit (ONDO, POPCAT, WLD, GOAT, APT, FARTCOIN, SOL, BONK, MANIFEST, and a million others). I have an aptitude for recognizing where attention is shifting prior to large moves but for some reason failed to execute on the easiest part: banking profit and paying myself.

I also did not operate with perfect execution of my risk management rules (see April 2024 below lol, I also blew up my perp account in January 2024 after running it up 6x or so). These have been dialed in even further and we will continue to plug these leaks to prevent myself from giving back hard-earned gains. Stringent rules are being refined for max risk allowable in a day/week, max loss allowable for a day/week before forcing a cooldown period, etc.

Other large takeaway: I was not effective in having a system developed for a ranging environment. Markets range the majority of the time yet I was trying to apply my trend system to a ranging market from March 2024 to November 2024. I was stuck on this fallacy that I had to be positioned for a breakout. This is incorrect thinking. I am excited to capitalize on this moving forward.

There were many other takeaways and reflections but properly capitalizing on the above is going to take me from JV to Varsity.

All-in-all 2024 was my best year trading thus far and I am pleased with my progression as a trader. Excited for another calendar year to continue to progress and run it up! To anyone that shared trade ideas with me, shouldered up with me in the trenches, or was kind enough to share their wisdom I just want to say I appreciate you!

If anyone else completed a year-in-review I'd love to hear what your focuses for 2025 are or please feel free to give any/thoughts feedback on my takeaways and focuses.

50% of your path to success is skill time/effort
the other 50% is your ability to program your nervous system to stop compromising your success with self destructive habit loops that keep you in your state of destructive comfort. hard to do. Its a skill issue in the wrong domain.

Longing POPCAT here (just like the good old days)

We should bounce here for continued retard strength

Bounce at $100k for respectable strength (bid wall building there)

Slice through $100k, maybe good times roll on above 98k but just a lot messier and sketchier

Time to start tweeting about $OTHERS again?

[JerryBigPlays @JerryBigPlays]

This was stupid. I thought trade talks were stalled and the market had priced them in all of April. I think market is telling us that isn’t the case. Longed $META this morning, great chart

📈 April 2025 Trading Performance Recap 📈

Have been meaning to be more meaningful with these for awhile now. Finally got my shit together in April and will be doing these every month moving forward. April was an okay step in the right direction—far from perfect, but undeniably productive.

Key Stats:

Total Trades: 15
Wins: 6
Losses: 9 (2 were breakeven but conservatively classified as losses)
Win Rate: 40%
Portfolio Return: +7%

Bitcoin posted a strong +14% gain in April (now +28% off the ~$74K lows), so unfortunately I underperformed on the month. That said, my core objective this month was disciplined risk management—so April was a success by that measure. Using 28% as the monthly benchmark is a tad excessive but any month I am unable to outperform simply holding spot BTC is no bueno.

Despite losing 60% of my trades, I closed the month green. That alone speaks to improved trade sizing, tighter invalidation points, and stronger psychological control.

Navigating the PA this month was no easy feat. I missed the initial impulse off the lows, and then the continued strength through multiple resistances has been tough to read. Best trades of the month were being slightly long into news of tariffs being paused and then slamming further long on the announcement. Unfortunately, I sold these positions way too quick as I didn't expect the continuation that we got thereafter.

Outside of crypto, I also made progress on the equities front. I sold my long-held COIN position from 2023 and began actively trading my equities port. I captured a ~20% win on NVDA (not included in the crypto P&L). I then re-entered NVDA late last week and am currently sitting on an additional +15%. The equities port is still much smaller than crypto, but I’m excited to learn the nuances of trading equities given I've spent my entire trading career just getting molested by digital assets❤️

Looking ahead to May, the mission remains the same: manage risk and outperform BTC. On a personal level, April was very productive. Daily journaling, habit tracking, and intentional routines made a big difference on my mental sharpness and performance. Excited to compound upon all of the above this month!

Onward.

TP'd $NVDA here, 14% win. Flat on equities for now.
