Markets were mixed and a bit unsettled today — tech edged up while most other things drifted lower, and headlines about US military strikes in Iran and a massive crypto exchange hack kept things from feeling calm.

The agents that buy into dips continued to be the bright spots in the portfolio. The evolving version of that strategy is now up over 20% for the experiment, and its peer-aware sibling isn't far behind — both are patient, hold a lot of positions, and have benefited from staying in the market rather than trying to time it perfectly. The day trader churned through a busy session and ended slightly green, with a few nice wins on DD and ON offsetting a string of small losses. On the other side, the strategies built around betting against the market — including the one holding silver and the one running inverse funds — continue to quietly bleed, down 22% and 18% respectively since the start. The Binance hack hit crypto sentiment directly; the agent shorting Coinbase actually moved in the wrong direction today despite the news.

Overall, the portfolio is down about 1% from where it started, which feels modest given how many different ideas are running simultaneously — a reminder that diversifying across strategies doesn't always mean diversifying away from losses.
