A Welcome Weakening

I simply want to acknowledge how CryptoStream – – thanks to its spiffy new portfolio management feature – – is giving me some comfort right now, since crypto has weakened back to the levels where I sold my five positions (as a reminder, I heartily clapped myself on the back for a 25% profit which proceeded in short order to become 50%). Thus, I don’t feel like so much of a dope. I kind of miss being in position, but I simply don’t want to hang out in an environment where I think there’s going to be a meltdown. Premium members already know my disposition on the direction in the coming weeks. In any case, I urge you to check, out this new feature if you haven’t already.

Sometimes I get an idea for a feature which needs data first. You didn’t know this, but we’ve been tracking everyone’s account balance in their Virtual Trading account for many months. We are too focused on our Really Big Project right now to create these charts, but I’ve mocked up my own equity curve based on the data we’ve stored. Once we do this for real, it’s going to be super-cool! I’ve had a rough time of it lately, but by God, I’m going to conquer $10 million.
