We had strong up moves followed by strong down moves throughout the whole month. The last week of July ended with a +1,60% (roundabout) gain and left us with a total gain of -0,34%. The market was very volatile in my opinion as Chinese stocks also affected the economy as a whole. My max. draw-down is still a modest -2,57% but with a look back at the events of March 2020, it easily can grow up to 2 digits in a global crisis. My plan is to secure my position and keep my solid money management through such phases. ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ: ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ข๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฌ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ถ๐˜ฑ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฆโ€˜๐˜ด ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ง๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฌ ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ. ๐—•๐˜‚๐˜ ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ด๐—ต ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜... ๐—Ÿ๐—ฒ๐˜โ€˜๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ธ ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ผ. Between the end of July and the start of August we had solid gains and because eToro calculates risk in both ways (not only downwards), our risk score rose to 4. My goal is to have it between 2 and 3, so I may lower my exposure to the market to flatten it out. Currently I traded a total of 70 times. Because Iโ€˜m looking for trends and exit when trends weaken I donโ€˜t see the point in sticking too long with a single stock (besides when it really trends strongly). My longest held position is GILD which I held since the very start of my portfolio. This is the perfect example as to holding just because of it may not always be the best approach since it never touched my predefined bounds. I will keep holding it as I also did not get any exit signals yet. On the other hand we have PFE which I bought right at the start of the current big rally. It goes to show how different some stocks do over the same time-period. I will proceed with my current strategy and fine-tune my exits for better performance this month. If you want more in-depth information you can hit me up. But I like to keep things short and clean and donโ€˜t want to write in circles how great everything is. As always, stay smart and sharp in your mind when it comes to investing and trading. We canโ€˜t afford emotions to take over! โ€ž๐—” ๐—•๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ธ ๐—ง๐—ผ ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฑ, ๐—” ๐— ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฒ ๐—ง๐—ผ ๐—ช๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฐ๐—ตโ€œ As Iโ€˜m also very interested in audio-books and movies/series about economy, I decided to share 1 of each every month.

Is it full of bias or do you see it as it really is? Statistics show how sometimes our worldview can fundamentally be wrong even with our best intentions. Itโ€˜s more of a different take on seeing the world than a thrilling story.
