We sell ETH against ETH we already own, and the account grows in coin, not in dollars.
The stack sits in ETH, and the short is opened in a coin-margined contract, so what we put up and what we earn are both ETH. ETH fell 5.97% over the first reporting period. The stack of ETH grew 10.01%.
We ran the same trade on bitcoin and shut it down on 1 August. It failed the test ETH passed: the one that asks whether a good result is just curve-fitting. The write-up is in the notebook. We now run one account, one asset, one strategy.
Letter 001 is our first letter, not our first year. What came before it is in the notebook, including everything we tested and threw away.
Letters go out monthly and land in your chat the day they publish. The closed reports open with the same link.
