Wrapping up the month of January for trading: In total I made about $200k~ and gave back $120k to the market over the last week. I was on a serious win streak and up $300k+ at my peak for this month. It all started unravelling when I tried shorting ETH due to Garrett closing out some of his ETH position. Lesson learnt and I won't be trading that again. I took the trade because it still felt like a solid idea to me, I took the same trade to the long side when he was opening his position. I took a $65k loss on that single trade and really made up the majority of my losses over the last week. The other losses were smaller and it sort of snowballed. Shit happens but as always there are lessons in there: - be more selective of what I trade after such a good win streak - don't get too trigger happy with off-ramping, leave more 'fat' on exchanges - Take a step back over the weekend and reevaluate, it is extremely unforgiving at the moment It's a bitter sweet ending to the month and I tend to focus on the losses over the wins because that's where you learn the deepest lessons. Am I happy about my results for January 2026? Overall yes how can I not be happy... But I still feel a pang of disappointment for how I ended it. February will be a very interesting month and at this point I don't have a read on the next month at all. We've had metals put in what looks like macro highs, new fed chair vote to a guy who is seen as 'bearish' at least short term, gov shutdown happening today and a highly probably Iran vs US attack happening over the coming period.(Gold)
