The trend-following futures market experienced a nearly 8% decline last week, as anticipated by analysts. Despite this setback, the year-to-date (YTD) performance remains impressive, marking the second highest year since 2000. The mean-reversion strategy also saw new equity highs with a YTD return of 40.9%, driven by $SPXL and $TQQQ, and a win rate of 74% over 50 trades. There are currently 12 open positions, 8 long and 4 short. Additionally, a mini portfolio update revealed that after a significant drawdown, reducing options positions resulted in less volatility, with current YTD gains nearing 50%.
