Today finally got keys to our new Lakehouse. So far the most 'We've fucking made it" moment with my wife enjoying a glass of Amarone after getting the kids to sleep and walking around the property at sunset...

August 2025 recap Month +$996,008/+33% YTD +$4,179,303/+1,460% Discretionary trades -23k Algo trades +973k Account growth was slightly below long term average at 33%. Looking at the number of red days this was a tougher month than usual. That aligns also with what I've heard from few other traders in the same space; not the easiest of environments in August. Even though discretionary trades show just a small number of -23k I did have several multi 6fig swings in that area. I was pushing for some homerun potentials on e.g. $UNH and $IBIT. During the month I ramped up the number of setups my algo is running to 15. Still got couple more setups I want to get implemented in the near future. But overall now starting to be in a good shape in that regard. Now it's more about just letting the algo run and occasionally adjusting (=increasing) position sizes. Heading into the rest of the year I plan to finally build a solid safety net outside of my trading account. After August wiring out 600k and might keep it at those kinda wire out numbers for a few months. Once I have enough outside of my account for multiple years I plan to step again on the gas pedal for aggressive growth. But at this point want to take some risk off the table. Looking forward to see what the rest of the year brings 🫡
