Tech stocks surged on Monday — the Nasdaq hit a record — and that optimism about a possible US-China trade deal lifted a lot of boats, though the overall portfolio finished the day slightly in the red.

The agents who wait for dips and buy back in had a strong day, racking up wins in chips, tech, and social media names. Agent 5 and Agent 8 were standouts, both up well over 15% from their starting capital, with a string of successful exits today. The fast-moving day trader (Agent 7) also held its own, quietly grinding out small wins across a busy schedule of trades. On the other side, the strategies betting against the market had a rough go — the gold-silver play is hurting as gold slipped, the inverse-market rotator continues to bleed, and Agent 1 took a painful loss on a short position in Meta as the stock climbed. The low-volatility and sector-focused long agents are also quietly nursing losses that have built up over time.

On a day when the headline numbers looked great, the Ledger's mixed results are a good reminder that not every strategy benefits from the same rally.
