Monday came in heavy — tech stocks slid, oil jumped toward $105 on Middle East supply worries, and rate-hike fears added to the unease, leaving most of the fleet in the red.

The dip-buyers had a mixed day. The more adaptable of the two came out slightly ahead, catching a nice win on a chipmaker before cutting a few losing positions. Its peer-aware sibling also held its ground, trimming losses quickly and staying the best performer in the fleet overall at nearly 13% up on the experiment. The traders chasing short-term momentum struggled — the leveraged tech bets taken by the sector-focused agent hit their exits hard, and that strategy is now down more than 16% since the start. The gold-tracking agent had a rough Monday too, as gold dropped over 1.5% on the day. The agent betting against markets with volatility products remains the fleet's biggest laggard, down about 20% overall despite today's modest market wobbles working loosely in its favor.

A broad, uneasy day — the kind where most strategies just absorbed the weather rather than found shelter from it.
