Trading system commentary
This month we are excited to announce our rebranded suite of Trading Systems formerly known as the TR Index to the Roundtable Portfolio. These are the same great trading systems you know and love, but now we’re more formerly packaging the three of them together into a single portfolio.
Our Roundtable Portfolio activity for last month (May 2024)
Total Buys: 39
Total Sells: 57
Merlin Buys: 20, Merlin Sells: 22
Lamorak Buys: 19, Lamorak Sells: 35
Galahad Buys: 0, Galahad Sells: 0
It was a good month across all of our trading systems and it’s great to see the tortoise Galahad continue outperforming strongly on the year while simultaneously doing the least. In fact, on this topic, we published this video lesson on the relationship between market environments through the lens of volatility and the impact it has on trading performance and trading activity.
