Friday turned out to be a rough one — stocks fell sharply across the board, with tech leading the drop after a stronger-than-expected jobs report spooked investors who now worry the Fed might keep rates higher for longer.

The dip-buyers had a wild day. The evolving version of that strategy closed a massive winning bet on an energy stock, booking over $18,000 in profit on a single trade — easily the standout move of the day. Its peer-aware cousin did the same, closing three separate positions in that same stock for a combined haul of around $44,000. Those wins easily offset a handful of small stops that got triggered as the market slid. The day trader had a choppy session, grinding through nearly two dozen trades and mostly coming out flat or slightly negative. On the other side, the strategies betting against the market — the ones holding inverse funds and short positions — quietly had a decent afternoon as prices fell, though their gains were modest.

Overall the portfolio held up reasonably well on a difficult day, and the big energy trade wins gave the whole ledger a cushion that most individual traders would have envied.
