In December, we found our way back to success and, after the Black Swan in November, the results make us more optimistic about the future.
December Performance
In December, we feared a longer downtrend on the stock markets, which is why we decided to close down almost all equity positions. Not only because of this, there were numerous loss rates in December.
We started the month of December with a balance of $106,085.97 and stood at $108,759.65 on December 31, 2018, which represents a 4.18% increase.

The total of all closed positions in December is -$5,314.15. This number looks frightening at first, but it is essentially due to the strong movements in the Russell 2000. These fast and big movements have very quickly led to big losses in our butterfly positions.
However, there is also very good news, the virtual profits currently amount to almost $10,000.
