For those of you following my weekly ETF system, please understand that there will be months upon months of flat performance. Profits come in unpredictable bursts. The rules for my strategies are simple. Staying with the system during flat periods is the difficult part.

I am investigating signing up with FundSeeder and/or the USIC 2027 (MMVR Division). My broker is not supported by FundSeeder so I would have to manually upload daily account values. As I understand it, the USIC requires monthly statements by email. Looking for feedback.

There are criticisms to be made of every trading competition. One could use those as a basis for never entering. That’s fine. But there's another way to look at it: entering a competition can be a way to challenge yourself and push yourself to become a better trader.

The October WSOT 2026 rankings are out. I remain in fifth place overall and am the top Canadian trader in the competition so far.

I have uploaded my October statement for the WSOT 2026. All I will say is that the gap between me and the world-famous, highly respected @JoachimMo1985 is razor-thin. #WSOT2026 😃

Commodities provided no protection this past week as $PDBC fell by 6.2%. Deep drawdowns aren't pleasant but they are the price we pay for higher long-term returns in well-designed systematic trading strategies.

My weekly ETF systematic trading system fell by 0.75% this past week and is now 100% allocated to $PDBC.

My weekly ETF system is up ever so slightly this past week. It is now evenly allocated between $BIL and $PDBC.

My weekly ETF system fell by 1.62% this past week and now has a more defensive allocation. $BIL $PDBC $QQQ

My weekly ETF system had a positive week, and the allocations are unchanged. As for the WSOT, my submitted account is up 12.1% in USD since July 01.

My weekly ETF systematic trading strategy had a small gain this past week. There is no change in the allocations. $PDBC $QQQ

My ETF system returned 1.24% this past week. There are no changes in the allocations. As for the WSOT, my submitted account is up 11.53% in USD since July 01.

It was a slightly negative week for my ETF system, which now has a new allocation. As for the WSOT, my submitted portfolio is currently up 10.9% in USD terms since the start of July. The account I submitted does not use margin.

Recent commodity exposure gave my weekly ETF system a nice performance boost. There is no change in the allocation.

It was a positive week for my ETF system, which is now 100% allocated to PDBC.

WSOT 2026. August was much better than July. I am submitting statements to WSOT for my investment account that I trade US equities/ETFs in. My Canadian broker reports the account value in $CAD so there is an exchange rate component.

It was a mildly positive week for my ETF system that is now 50% QQQ and 50% EMXC.

The sideways action continues. My weekly ETF system is now 100% allocated to EMXC.

My weekly ETF system rose by 3.8% this past week and is now 100% in QQQ.

Challenging times continue for my weekly ETF system. It remains 100% allocated to PDBC. As for the WSOT, I'm up a little since the end of June, but the US/CAD exchange rate has reduced my return by 1.8% (3.6% gain in USD). Of course, that can turn around by the end of the year.
