2025 Year in Review: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

The end of the year always marks an important time for reflection and evaluation. I believe taking some solitary time for personal reflection is one of the most powerful things you can do to advance not just your trading but your life in general.

It gives you a chance to look back on the week, month, year, or even decade and realize where you have been lacking, and more importantly, where you have been excelling.

Taking time to time to zoom out and put things into perspective is extremely valuable as we often get way to caught up on what has been happening in the near term of our lives and it clouds our judgement of just how much progress we may have made over the last year.

You can get pretty down in bad seasons of life if you don’t take time to reflect back on where you are today versus where you were a year ago or even five years ago.

That said, when it comes to this newsletter I always take time to review our year in the markets. Analyzing what we did well, where we missed opportunities, and how we could have done better.

This year was undoubtedly a tough year in the crypto market and a tough year trading all around.

However, when I zoom out I see a lot of silver linings in how we managed this year and I see a lot of opportunities for improvement in our system.

So let’s take a look back and review the year in reverse order from bad to good, so we can end on a positive note.
