PnL Palace 🤑

[Koichos]

A place for traders to post their PnLs. Since we’re in Q3 I’ll be sharing from July onward. (June’s PnL can be found consolidated in my post #59,958 in the main BTC thread.)

July’s PnL breakdown

• BTC: $78,704.56 (after $2,094.49 in fees)
• ETH: $421,970.75 (after $6,253.39 in fees)
• Total: $500,675.31 (after $8,347.88 in fees)

Spoiler

Currently at $450,000 in profit for August, will share by month’s end.

With NVIDIA earnings tomorrow, GDP and Unemployment Claims on Thursday and Core CPE on Friday there’s still some volatility left to be traded.

$43k this morning, $493k on the month, 49 hours 16 minutes until monthly close

Damn. This is a good thread.

Damn. This is a good thread.

I’ll be trading bitcoin and ethereum for the remainder of the cycle; come 2026, maybe throw in some sui and solana. Nothing fancy. No memes, no small caps, no nonsense.

August’s PnL breakdown

• BTC: $73,759.93 (after $3,513.87 in fees)
• ETH: $428,038.15 (after $5,212.76 in fees)
• Total: $501,798.08 (after $8,726.63 in fees)

Unrealized PnL was $1,000,000 at one point but ended up giving half of that back being stubborn looking for ten $100,000 trades. Lost my mojo after the first 4. Oops.

I did take a $13k loss on last Sunday’s ETH long when market maker swept high-leveraged long liquidations within a large volume node gap that sent BTC from $114,800 to $110,500 in a moment’s notice, pulling ETH down with it from $4,950 ($64k in profit) to $4,700 ($13k in loss), but was able to recoup in full later that night on a BTC short.

$17,000 in fees in two months.. ‘the House always wins’, as they say.

Looking for 3-4 good trades this month. Less scalping, more swings..

Pretty underwhelming September thus far, but next Wednesday’s Federal Funds Rate and subsequent FOMC Meeting should throw a wrench in our usual summer lull. Eyeing tomorrow’s and Thursday’s inflation data for first trade(s) of September, so we’ll see what price action is doing then. But I do expect a rather bullish second half of the month.

Spoiler

Wednesday, September 10 (inflation data)

• Core PPI m/m
• PPI m/m

Thursday, September 11 (inflation & unemployment data)

• Core CPI m/m
• CPI m/m
• CPI y/y
• Unemployment Claims

Wednesday, September 17 (rate cut: ?? basis points)

• Federal Funds Rate
• FOMC Economic Projections
• FOMC Statement
• FOMC Press conference

Thursday, September 18 (unemployment data)

• Unemployment Claims

Scaled out of roughly $3.4 million in long-term spot holdings in Q1 after the inauguration/tariffs so hadn’t focused on short-term perps trading until late Q2. Currently sitting at $1.5 million in profit since June 1. Closing out of the remaining of my spot holdings by the end of November and will be trading the rest on perps through the bear market.

So we had some nice price action amid the chop but nothing to really sink one’s teeth into. High-leveraged ETH longs, though, got absolutely obliterated this morning.
