Week in Review
A difficult week across the board — the NAS100 chopped sideways with elevated volatility, and the bot took three losing trades as trend-following signals whipsawed. Here is the full breakdown.
Nas100Bot Performance This Week
- Total trades: 3
- Profit: -6%
- Win rate: 33%
- Max drawdown: -6%
Three trades this week, all stopped out — a -6% week for the strategy while the market drifted slightly higher. Each loss hit the predefined risk level exactly: stop losses capped the damage at predictable levels with no excessive slippage and no need for manual intervention.
Market Performance: Buy & Hold
Buying and holding the NAS100 over the same period returned +2% with a maximum drawdown of 1%. The market ended the week slightly positive, while the bot's trend-following entries got caught in the back-and-forth — the worst-case outcome the strategy is sized to handle.
Return vs Drawdown
This week: -6% return with a 6% drawdown for the bot, versus +2% return with a 1% drawdown for buy and hold. The drawdown equals the return here because all three trades ran to their stops — the worst-case scenario the strategy is prepared for.
The Bigger Picture
Weeks like this are the cost of trend-following in a range-bound market. The bot is designed to survive many losing trades — each small and controlled — and pay off across the larger directional moves that define the yearly return. The year-to-date performance remains comfortably positive at +73.6% despite these stretches.
