About

I'm shadd, a software engineer. This site is a log of two things I'm doing at once: learning to trade crypto without lying to myself about the results, and building web projects on the side.

Why the numbers are public

Because a private journal is easy to edit after the fact. The PNL page is synced straight from my exchange account rather than typed in by hand, so the losing weeks show up whether I write about them or not.

What you'll find here

• Weekly recaps — same format every week, so they're comparable.
• Post-mortems — mostly on losing weeks, which are the useful ones.
• Project notes — what I'm building and why.

The obligatory disclaimer

None of this is financial advice. It's one person's unaudited record of their own account, published for accountability. If you copy it and lose money, that's on you.
