Week of 27 Jul 2026
27 Jul 2026
First full public week: PEAD turnover, risk-parity DBC exit, and LinkedIn traffic to the Live desk.
Desk note from the prior paper account (since superseded by the 1 Aug equities-only reset). YTD Sharpe and drawdown were blank — the book was still young.
Markets
Equities traded a normal mid-summer session tape. Earnings digestion and risk appetite mattered more than any single macro shock.
Book
Paper capital only. NAV and sleeve weights are on Live Paper. This week’s ops themes: honest fills (drop canceled zero-qty rows from the public feed), risk-parity DBC reduced toward flat after the universe drop, and soft LinkedIn traffic landing on Live.
Sleeves
| Sleeve | Note |
|---|---|
| PEAD | Busiest sleeve. Mid-week rotation across names (e.g. NKE, GOOGL, AMZN, GS in; trims elsewhere). Still the core equity weight. |
| Risk parity | Universe is SPY / TLT / GLD / VNQ. Large DBC sell Fri; a tiny residual lot may still show until fully flat. |
| Equity momentum | Light activity; small residual names. |
| VIX reversion | Flat when calm — no notable fear-spike session this week. |
Risks / next week
Summer liquidity. Treat paper fills as optimistic. Public copy and Live should stay aligned on risk-parity tickers as residual DBC clears.
