Tactical Lesson & Data Health

  • Tactical Lesson: Short Ratio Spreads delivered highly efficient wins this week, yielding near 90% exit efficiency across both funds with zero drawdown on closed positions. However, position sizing in the Travel Fund requires monitoring; two new entries have taken on outsized risk to secure premium, representing a heavy concentration in active portfolio heat.
  • Health Check: All data is clean. Zero “ghost trades” (missing Ticker/Date) and zero “zombie trades” (Profit without an Exit Date) were detected.
  • Integrity Check: Passed. All profitable trades are correctly aligned with their “W” status.
