Profit & Loss Breakdown
Q4 2025 profitability was shaped by selective deployment through a developing but increasingly scaled operating environment. Gross profitability remained broad enough to support $317,300 in net trading profit, while downside remained controlled through measured participation, disciplined sizing, and concentration on higher-conviction trading days.
- Highest net profit day: $15.00K recorded on 12 Nov 2025, with gross profit peaking at $25.80K during the session.
- Lowest net profit day: -$12.80K recorded on 17 Oct 2025, while the largest gross loss session reached -$15.00K on the same date.
Quarter-over-quarter profitability expanded meaningfully during Q4 2025, with gross profit, gross loss, and net profit all scaling on a larger operating base. The increase in gross loss remained proportionate to the broader capital deployment and overall return generated during the quarter.

Risk Management & Capital Protection
Drawdown remained proportionate to the quarter’s profitability profile, with downside kept within a controlled range despite the larger capital base and broader active participation than the prior quarter.
Trading Session Selection & Deployment Strategy
Q4 profitability remained primarily trading-driven, while external capital movement stayed modest relative to total AUM and did not distort the quarter’s broader operating profile. Participation remained selective rather than continuous, with deployment concentrated on higher-conviction sessions.
Profitability & Execution Efficiency
Quarter profitability was supported by a 2.20x profit factor and a 61.8% win rate, with Alpha providing the largest share of net trading contribution during the period.
Asset-Wise Performance Allocation
Gold remained the dominant Q4 2025 profit engine, with XRP providing the next largest tactical contribution and US100 functioning as a smaller supporting exposure. Residual allocations across other assets remained limited and did not represent a material share of total quarter profitability.
Strategy-Wise Performance
Across the three active sleeves, Alpha functioned as the primary profitability engine, Genesis supported diversification and capital continuity, while FX Fusion operated as a smaller tactical allocation. Overall strategy allocation during Q4 remained focused on selective deployment, early-stage capital scaling, and concentration toward higher-conviction opportunities across a growing external capital base.

Alpha
Alpha remained the primary profitability sleeve during Q4 2025, carrying the largest opening capital base, no quarter-level deposit or withdrawal activity, and the largest absolute contribution to net profit.
Genesis
Genesis functioned as the secondary allocation sleeve during Q4 2025, absorbing the quarter’s external deposit activity and closing above its opening capital base despite a smaller overall profit contribution than Alpha.
FX Fusion
FX Fusion opened from a higher capital base and carried the full quarter withdrawal load, reducing its closing balance to the level that carried forward into Q1 2026 while still producing a positive net contribution.
Execution Analytics
Execution through Q4 2025 remained active but selective, with 44 active trading days, a clear long-side bias, and a majority of activity concentrated in manual deployment. Trade outcomes remained broad enough to support quarter-level profitability while keeping loss clusters and trade-level downside proportionate to the overall execution profile.
