Tabularium Trade Journal — 2026

A factual ledger of trades, Profit/loss, return on capital performance & structure.

The full video breakdown — including sizing, expiries, and risk structure — is available exclusively to paying members below.

Six weeks into 2026, total profit stands at $15,731, representing a 31.5% return on capital — driven by methodical short and options positioning, not leverage, not prediction.

This session is a live walk-through of how I’m actually deploying capital in real markets: no theory, no hindsight, no headline-driven trades.

Importantly, this is not a fully deployed portfolio. A meaningful portion of capital is deliberately held back. The objective is to start from a realistic base and build patiently — allowing structure and duration to do the work rather than forcing exposure.

I break down how I scale into positions slowly using options, why I favour path-dependent ETFs on the short side, and how I think about return on capital when volatility is elevated but direction remains uncertain.

Inside the full video, I go several layers deeper.

I show:

  • Exactly how I size and layer positions over time

  • The reasoning behind choosing specific expiries, including 2028-dated options

  • How I think about NAV versus market price when underwriting multi-year upside

  • The risk scenarios that don’t show up in backtests — and how I structure around them

  • How I use options not just for income, but as a one-man insurance operation within the portfolio
