Aug is another calm and smooth month, same for the previous 3 mths since refining the strategy with minor tweaks, see the following mindmap:

HODL

Pretty much the same.

GOMT is starting their tier 1 sale, manage to get some GOMT, pretty exciting about them since its first ICO i bought since 3 years ago. If you are interested, use my refferal link for extra 2% bonus, ontop of the current bonus of 15%. -> https://gomeat.io/icopanel/invite?ref=UD00097

TRU value is consolidating ard 0.45-0.70. Have stacked more TRU, now thinking whether to stake or wait for x2 price. Hmmmm.

QTF value has climbed back up to $8-9 range, users acquisitions has been climbing at fair stable 20k-30k users, but the real deal has always been the retention and the number of trades they execute and close in order to get the spread revenue which translates into QDT. July was pretty dry.

LOC – tried with facebook ads and google ads to get referrals, not much headway. Price has been stable above $6.

CAS – decided to drop them as they under deliver again… quite tired of them, managed to changed the amount to GOMT and TRU.

Explore

Solstreet is pretty interesting and i have entered their competition in phase 1, and now in phase 2. Looking forward to their mainnet and ICO. Another crypto is Pyth, the oracle  based on Solana blockchain.

Staking

Nothing has changed much except moving into TRU/WETH farming in  Sushiswap.

DEFI

Still going hyper-compound Matic, invest in Balancer pool, and Adamant Pool for QI pool

Sep Strategy

Exploring Solstreet and Pyth, stacked more GOMT and TRU where possible.

Will still lookout to hypercompound Matic when the chance arises

 

July is a much calmer start since 1st half of 2021, refining strategy seems to be stable, see the following mindmap:

HODL

Pretty much the same.

GOMT is ending presale on Aug 24th, hopefully i can get some extra moolah to get the 20% bonus

TRU value has been fairly stable since the drop, will not add too much as the eth fees are crazy high again. Will probably add in after the ETH London upgrade which hopefully the fees will drop.

QTF value dropped and remain stable around the $5-6 range. I have faith the the team and Lev team always underpromised but overdelivered, the recent example is their web trading platform. The Quantfurians number is increasing and the volume perday is about 300-500mil.

LOC is still as solid as ever, been trying to market the product through google ads, doesnt seem to work so far with 3 additional affiliates. Will try facebook ads in Aug.

CAS has partner with Polygon but i don’t fancy the news too much as the product delivery is spread out in Aug-Nov. Given their track record of overpromise and no delivery, can only stay hopeful and exit when there is FOMO.

Staking

Nothing has changed

DEFI

Took out FISH as i am not comfortable with them, still will move assets over to hyper-compound Matic, invest in Balancer pool, and Adamant Pool for QI pool

 Aug Strategy

Exploring Solstreet and Serum, have enrol into Solstreet competition and try out their platform. Impressed with Solstreet and their ecosystem which runs on Solana, using Serum as Dex for Solstreet platform.

Will still lookout to hypercompound Matic when the chance arises

June is a happening month for me as i was rekt again, total of 3 times since March, May and June, the latest was iron finance. i thought that i can outrun the bank run, instead, i got outrun. On the bright side, it was small amount that i got rekt, good reminder lesson for me -> If it’s too good to be true, then it certainly is.

See the following mindmap:

This time around, finalize the asset allocations and include the traditional portion to have a more holistic strategy that caters to the 50/50 strategy. The active and passive part is 50/50% each, and further breakdown into traditional and cryptos, the percentage is 25/25%. This should be the final form of the portfolio going into the rest of 2021 and beyond.

Removed SAFEX, RUNE and ZIG for HODL and staking, consolidating the HODL to have a more concentrated portfolio.

HODL

New entrants are GOMT and TRU, GOMT is gomeat serives which they are addressing the halal and kosher market. The team already has a revenue-generating business since 2019 and the team is pretty solid, decided to take a leap of faith in the ICO, its my first ICO since 2 years ago and pretty excited about them. You can read more of them at this link.

TRU is a business that targets loan origination for commercial business, and I used to work in loan origination entity and like the TRU model but the tokenomics are a bit weak at the moment but there are proposals to change it.

QTF value dropped a lot since the token release in Bitfinex, i guess it due to folks are moving to much higher yield assets in DEFI space but no doubt Quantfury is a solid entity and just released the web version for trading.

LOC is still as solid as ever, with GOMT joining the HYDRA system and that will add on the network value. The issues i have with HYDRA is the tx value is still expensive than BSC and MATIC, and the TPS is 540. Well, let’s see.

CAS has a partnership to be announced on 22 July and i know who that partner is, a bit disappointed at how the AMA is run and how weak the Cashaa dev team is. Since they are hyping abt this so-called big partnership, hope to sell some of the holdings off to fund for TRU and GOMT.

Staking

Nothing has changed except took out RUNE, and ZIG, and added TRU.

DEFI

Got into AAVE late, nevertheless, will move assets over to hyper-compound Matic, invest in Balancer pool, and a small amount for FISH.

Strategy

Will funnel extra moolah from staking to AAVE and from there hyper-compound Matic, invest, stake accordingly, see following funnel map.

For May, got rekt by the black wednesday on May 19th, need to store ammo and fight for another day. Anyway, the portfolio as attached:

Decided not to pursue Sorare as it takes  some time to research the current players as well as to pay for cards in order to gain higher ranking and better cards.

HODL 

The HODL portfolio is holding well, better than the trading acct though.

Quantfury has been listed on Bitfinex and the price is ard $14 (1st June)

Cashaa has hired a new CMO and planning Defi in end June,  well, let’s see.

Safex development suddenly grind to a stop with no more updates from Dan, disappointing.

Zig has launched a buyback programm to burn their max supply by 50%, thats abt 1billion coins burned.

Trading

Got rekt………… need to find moolah

Staking

Locktrip, Hydra, Quantfury has been looking strong, still getting my Hydra airdrops every week and staking rewards on average 4 days.

Zig, is getting 110% APR in pre-staking for April and May.

Shifted some funds to thorchain for staking, will have APR updates next mth.

Summary

Need to get back in the trading game in June since MVRV sort of stabilise and explore more of thorchain.

For April, climbing back up for trading in Quantfury acct since the disaster outing in March, the perps account is still on hold while doing research on various HODL coins.  Sorare was fun but need to purchase some rare cards in order to get more better and unique cards. Anyway, the portfolio as attached:

HODL 

Have added ZIG and looking to add RUNE for May, the strategy will be to accumulate RUNE and ZIG, and trade perps for RUNE.

Quantfury going to list on a tier-one exchange on May 26th, see https://twitter.com/quantfury . Woo, hope to see $50-100 by the end of the year.

Cashaa is very disappointing with no delivery due to poor planning and price has been going down;in addition, India has 2nd wave of Covid. Hopefully, the AMA in May will address the project delivery.

Trading

Still using Quantfury to trade, will be using a new strategy, let’s see.

Staking

Locktrip and Hydra has been an absolute blast in April since staking started. Both their price have been climbing steady 6-7/30-40 USD since Webjet investment news and Cointelegraph reported it. Was hopeful for the travel bubble between Australia and New Zealand to start but there are new cases of Covid.  Hope the world get vaccinated fast enough so travel can resume normalcy in 1-2 year LOC should go to the Moon.

Quantfury as usual getting the staking rewards and reaching new traded volume.

Safex just getting started with their TWM wallet and listed products, hope more adoption to follow to see staking rewards.

Zig, is getting 110% APR in pre-staking for April and May.

Summary

Planning to play around with zignaly and accumulate RUNE and ZIG.

Sad month as the binance futures and quantfury got nearly decapitated due to my own greed and over exposure which wiped out my months of accumulation of DOT, LINK and ETH. On the bright side, these two accounts are about 10% of my overall portfolio. A lesson that I need to learn and relearn again, the exposure and getting too confident, will take a few months to recover both accounts.

Will still continue to trade on both accounts but on a smaller scale.  Now on my HODL and staking portfolio, see following mindmap.

HODL

Have shifted HIVE, WAX out and move some of them into buying LOC which is going to have an airdop 1:1 for HYDRA, and at the same time start to stake HYDRA which have a min 200% APR for the first year.  My average price is $2, and given the current price of LOC is $5, HYDRA is $23, a good investment i hope especially they have investment from Webjet and going to integrate their rezchain database which originally locktrip wanted to create a global hotel database for a fairer price comparison against the likes of OTAs like booking, Tripadvisor, etc.  With the vaccination efforts going around globally, a good time to accumulate and prepare for reopening of travel and tourism within this year, normalcy which i expect in 1-2 years unless another new strain strikes again.

QTF is finalizing tier 1 exchange presale/IEO which i am hopeful that the price will be around $8-10 a coin, i bought an average 0.68 per coin, which means an immediate 1000% ($8) gain. i am hopeful.

STAKING

SAFEX have finally launched their TWM client and have started to stake, hopefully they can generate enough buzz, the adoption is still weak, will wait 6-12 months to re-evaluate.

NODES

Been exploring various crypto projects to find nodes to earn some spare coins, used to to ZEN, was too early let go and now ZEN is trading at $50….. oh well. looking at TFUEL and  RLC. Waiting for my new Raspberry Pi 4 to play with.

GAMING

Started with Sorare, realized i have so much to catch up with soccer players these days, missed the 90s when my fav team was Liverpool. Axie infinity still need to buy axies to start with, and its not cheap, let’s see.

Presale 

Exploring projects like uniqly and easyfeedback.

Trading

As stated earlier, will need some time to recover both accounts

 

 

 

 

Have changed the strategy for some, thats the good thing about cryptos, you can rebalance anytime without any management/commission fees except transaction fees.  It has been a crazy month in cryptos which is business as usual.

Ok, have move most of the funds in Binance to perps as i prefer directional trading over market making, the risk is much more but more rewarding than market making.  One of the most important thing in trading in the cost of entry and cost of exit. Market making is a HFT activity which slowly eats away your profit if you are not careful enough.

Quantfury

For this month or maybe the rest of the year, the long term strategy will focus on commodities, cryptos and some stocks. Holding PLTR for now.

Binance Perps

Short term strategy, hold no more than 2-3 days.

HODL

Looking at MAPS, SOL and OXY token, while the rest remains the same. Quantfury has finally release QTF tokens to uniswap and soon HITBTC. It’s been two years since i owned the coin and it has been paying QDT tokens every month without fail. An average of 0.3 eth every mth, and ther QTF listed price has move between 8-22. The secret is out of the bag, with only 10 million tokens in circulation, it will moon.

Staking

Have started the transition move to staking for DFI, FLOW. Quanfury was since two years ago. Hydra will begin in end-MArch once the tokens start to airdropped in.

Still hoping SAFEX will be ready, its been almost 3 years of promises.

Each of the token has their own specific use case in their relevant industry.

Others

Utrade, FTX and Tiger brokerage are sidelined for now till there is a need to go in. However for Utrade, have been targeting China Rare Earth company.

Finally, to the Moon and Beyond!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Again, i have changed strategy, (see March strategy) and move out of market-making and into perps, still holding some coins in spot but will eventually move everything to perps.

The following shows the Binance perps PNL

Started on 20 Feb, after a week, generated 246%,  mainly due to ADA pump.

As for Quantfury acct, the progress is slow as the strategy is more long term.

 

Was thinking to do a quarterly strategy but the events in the stock market have changed the dynamics a lot.  See following mindmap.

Had move out of DFI cause they going to support Dodge as liquidity mining, I didn’t like the coin even it has rallied a lot. Decided to move more into Cashaa since the next two-three months will be very interesting as they are moving rapidly into opening physical branches across India for crypto banking services that are catered to retail folks. The market cap is pretty undervalued in India, see link.  Have also decided to store up DOT for the long term.

Still waiting for Safex to be ready in BW to offload it, we’ll see.

Now for the interesting part, short squeeze trade. Have loaded some funds in Tiger and Utrade, thinking whether to fade or join the movement, most likely in AMC and long TLT, GOLD for safety reasons but also looking for 5G stocks in the longer term. This is not about main street vs wall street, more about liquidity issues that might implode if WSB hold the line, an interesting nite. Depending on whats going to happen, will update again.

 

One month down one month up, that’s cryptos, the Jan 2021 was interesting, didn’t do much of liquidity mining as was fine-tuning strategy but did two liquidity campaigns. Stocks were more interesting :). Decided to move into stocks either to fade or join the movement, depends on tonight. Overall, in terms of USDT value, portfolio is still up and have the same following coins:

Store of value coins :

• BTC
• ETH
• USDT
• BNB

Alternative coins:

• LINK
• DOT
• SCRT – Mining rewards
• AVAX – Mining rewards

Quantfury results were better with 266 % profit. With what is happening in the stocks market,  going to be a wild wild ride in feb. Will update the asset allocation and trading strategy in another post. To the moon!

Did a review of the crypto strategy in 2020 and will update every quarter of the year. See the following mindmap plan for 1Q 2021.

The crypto space is moving very fast and will focus on DEFI stuff for the 1st Q, the new focus is CakeDefi with staking and sub-focus into Binance options using 3c.exchange.  Hummingbot liquidity mining is still good but will focus on coins that have catered to more liquidity rewards and strong use cases, HARD and XEM are the focus now unless new entrants are in.

 

 

 

Dec was bad as i decided to take one mth break and plan for 2021 strategy. BTC was mooning and cause my overall portfolio to dip and the same for some of the alt coins. Overall, in terms of USDT value, portfolio is still up and have the same following coins:

Store of value coins :

• BTC
• ETH
• USDT
• BNB

Alternative coins:

• BNT
• LINK
• BAL
• NEM – Mining rewards
• HARD – Mining rewards

Quantfury results also dipped as I was hedging ETH, TSLA, SPY but the BTC move was too strong, and have to stop out the positions. Was down 60% but overall still in 193% profit.

Using 3commas to start algotrade for BTCUSDT, been testing for a month over several bots, chose two bots that were positive, one long and one short. Will update the results in Feburary.

Will post interim plans for 1Q 2021.

 

Nov was a bit better due to BTC mooning and ETH2.0 staking but overall the portfolio is down because the majority of coins are altcoins and BTC climb up a lot. Still have the same coins:

Store of value coins (treated like bonds):

• BTC
• ETH
• USDT
• BNB

Alternative coins(treated like stocks):

• BNT
• LINK
• BAL
• RLC – Mining rewards
• NEM – Mining rewards
• RLC – Mining rewards
• HARD – Mining rewards

Have restarted to use Quantfury since October this year to follow systematic trading of using pivot levels, the results have been pretty ok, see screenshot. Been using much lower leverage up to a maximum of 3. so 1:3.

Have upgraded my tradingview to premium to have more server-side alerts and test 3commas again. Hopefully, will have positive results.

 

 

Moved to using Binance PnL, see following Oct.

Oct was bad but not as bad as Sept. Still have the same coins:

Store of value coins (treated like bonds):

• BTC
• ETH
• USDT
• BNB

Alternative coins(treated like stocks):

• BNT
• LINK
• BAL
• RLC – Mining rewards
• COTI – Mining rewards
• XZC

With NEM(Nov3) and Algorand(Oct 27) liquidity campaign coming, will concentrate on NEM and be more aggressive in mining.

 

Sep was bad overall for the market, ROI is – 32% based on end-aug, negate August earnings. Went diversify the portfolio with more coins.

Store of value coins (treated like bonds):

• BTC
• ETH
• USDT
• BNB

Alternative coins(treated like stocks):

• BNT
• LINK
• BAL
• RLC – Mining rewards
• COTI – Mining rewards
• XZC – Mining rewards

 

 

 

Move out of MFT and NULS, the ROI is 34% based on July, and 42% since the beginning of using HB from June. Looking forward to Kucoin campaign.

Store of value coins (treated like bonds):

• BTC
• ETH
• USDT
• BNB

Alternative coins(treated like stocks):

• BNT
• LINK
• RLC – Mining rewards
• COTI – Mining rewards
• LOC

I have been using Hummingbot since mid June, and this is my first full month report for July. I am using Blox to chart the performance of Hummingbot, there is no new deposit or withdrawal for July, and i masked out figures for privacy.

It has been a good month, 37% ROI. A number of factors contributed to the ROI, BTC, ETH, LINK spike in prices, and Hummingbot usage. So much HB % contributed to the growth? 12% (current portfolio value/initial portfolio value) so far. ROI expectations for August, no ideas, need another 11mths of data i guess. Oh well, to the moon!

Since i am using the 50/50 ratio, the ratio is  currently at 57/43, the store of value coins is 57% while the alternate coins is 43%

Store of value coins (treated like bonds):

• BTC
• ETH
• USDT
• BNB

Alternative coins(treated like stocks):

• BNT
• LINK
• RLC – Mining rewards
• COTI – Mining rewards
• NULS – Mining rewards
• MFT – Mining rewards
