Week in Review
A rough week for the bot. Four trades taken, none winning — all stopped out as the NAS100 saw sharp reversals and whipsawed against the strategy's trend-following signals. Here is the full breakdown.
Nas100Bot Performance This Week
- Total trades: 4
- Profit: -8.7%
- Win rate: 0%
- Max drawdown: -8.7%
Four trades this week, all stopped out — a -8.7% week for the strategy. Each loss hit the predefined risk level exactly. Stop losses capped the damage at predictable levels, with no need for manual intervention.
Market Performance: Buy & Hold
Buying and holding the NAS100 over the same period returned -0.35% with a maximum drawdown of 3.76%. The market ended slightly negative for the week, but the bot's losses were larger due to multiple stop-outs in choppy, reversing conditions.
Return vs Drawdown
This week: -8.7% return with an 8.7% drawdown for the bot, versus -0.35% return with a 3.76% drawdown for buy and hold. The drawdown equals the return because all four trades ran to their stops — the worst-case scenario the strategy is sized to handle.
The Bigger Picture
Weeks like this happen in trend-following systems — especially in volatile, reversing markets. The key is that losses are kept small and controlled by design, so the strategy can survive them to capture the larger moves that drive the overall return. Despite this week's drawdown, the year-to-date performance remains positive at +99.7%, and we report losing weeks as openly as winning ones because transparency is central to our approach.
