Budget Ethical Trading Account (BETA) – Portfolio Update as of January 17, 2025
Live Testing Begins with BETA
On January 15, 2025 (Day 3 of Week 3), as part of our ongoing refinement of the Modified 10-Step Trading Strategy, we officially launched the Budget Ethical Trading Account (BETA). This account is dedicated to live-testing our trading strategies with a smaller, more focused position. For now, we have set aside our primary account (holding 1,500 shares of URC) and shifted our full attention to BETA, which starts with a manageable 210 shares of URC.
1. Portfolio Performance
- Current Portfolio Value: PHP 14,793.84
- Realized Loss: PHP -206.16 (-1.39%)
- Unrealized Gains/Losses: Not yet reported
- Cash Allocation: 48%
After executing 9 trades, our initial position in Universal Robina Corporation (URC) has incurred a minor realized loss of -1.39%. While this early drawdown is expected, it provides valuable data points for refining our tactical adjustments.
2. Trading Plan Evolution
- January 5, 2025 (Week 2): We introduced our preliminary 8-Step Trading Plan based on a mix of retracement levels, technical confluence, and tactical risk management.
- January 14, 2025 (Day 2, Week 3): We refined our approach, transitioning to the Modified 10-Step Trading Strategy, integrating more structured retracement-based entry zones and enhanced stop-loss rules.
- January 15, 2025 (Day 3, Week 3): BETA launched with an initial focus on URC, as we phased out our primary account for the time being.
3. Portfolio Allocation
- Universal Robina Corporation (URC): 52% (First active position, 210 shares)
- Cash: 48% (Reserved for reinforcements or diversification)
- Other Target Stocks & REITs: 0% (Pending entry)
The decision to start with URC aligns with its technical signals and ethical compliance, making it a strong candidate for testing our retracement-based trading entries.
4. Trading Activity & Market Observations
- Number of Trades: 9
- Entry Strategy: URC purchases were executed based on retracement levels and volume confirmations.
- Market Context: URC experienced expected fluctuations, reinforcing the importance of dynamic risk management.
With 48% cash still available, we are positioned to adjust and average down if necessary while preserving liquidity for additional strategic opportunities.
5. Next Steps & Adjustments
- Fine-tune URC Positioning: Assess whether further retracements provide opportunities for cost averaging or early exits.
- Expand Holdings: Evaluate potential Shariah-compliant stocks & REITs to diversify risk exposure.
- Optimize Stop-Loss Levels: Adjust stop placements based on retracement depth and volatility.
- Risk Management Focus: Limit further downside exposure while maximizing trade efficiency.
Conclusion
The Budget Ethical Trading Account (BETA) is now fully operational, serving as a live testing ground for our Modified 10-Step Trading Strategy. While we have incurred a small initial realized loss, this phase is critical in refining trade execution, validating retracement levels, and enhancing portfolio risk controls.
With strategic cash reserves still intact, we remain agile in adjusting, reinforcing, or expanding our holdings as new opportunities arise. Future updates will reflect additional trade executions, portfolio adjustments, and insights gained from real-time market conditions.
