The Big Winners
Here's where the alpha really showed up:
###
Top 5 Performers:
1. **BTC:** +$5,323.58 (+224% gain)
2. **SHIB:** +$5,221.76 (the meme magic worked!)
3. **LTC:** +$4,448.24 (solid fundamentals paid off)
4. **DASH:** +$3,982.42 (privacy coins still have legs)
5. **FX:** +$1,304.46 (smaller position, solid returns)
The Bitcoin trades were absolutely fire this cycle. Got in early on some dips and the timing worked out perfectly.

My Trading Approach This Cycle
For those asking about strategy, here's what worked:
### Volume Distribution:
- **LINK:** $43,305.90 (25.7% of volume) - My biggest play
- **UNI:** $42,622.30 (25.3% of volume) - DeFi thesis paying off
- **ADA:** $24,218.89 (14.4% of volume) - Long-term holder here
### Trading Patterns:
- **Small, frequent trades:** Average buy size $4.16, sell size $5.46
- **Active rebalancing:** More buys than sells (54% vs 45%)
- **Fee conscious:** Kept fees super low relative to volume

Monthly Flow Analysis
Here's how each month played out:
| Month | Net P&L | Key Moves |
|-------|---------|-----------|
| **August** | +$7,582
| Best month - caught the summer rally |
| **May** | +$3,758 | Strong DeFi momentum |
| **March** | +$3,176 | Early year positioning paid off |
| **June** | +$2,254 | Steady accumulation phase |
| **January** | +$1,836 | Started the year right |
| **April** | +$1,270 | Mostly selling, taking profits |
| **July** | -$1,059
| Only real red month - summer doldrums |
| **September** | -$504 | Light month, preparing for Q4 |
| **February** | -$388 | Minor pullback period |
That July dip was rough but staying disciplined and not panic selling made all the difference.

What I Learned
### Key Insights:
1. **Bitcoin timing matters:** My BTC trades had exceptional returns
2. **Diversification works:** 17 assets helped spread risk
3. **Fee management is crucial:** Keeping costs low amplifies returns
4. **Stay active:** Regular rebalancing beat buy-and-hold this cycle
5. **Don't fear the memes:** SHIB was actually a top performer
### Areas for Improvement:
- **LINK concentration:** Maybe too heavy in one position
- **ETH underperformance:** Need to review my ETH strategy
- **Position sizing:** Could optimize entry/exit sizes better
