【04.13-04.19】🏆Weekly Review | Does Taking Risks Lead to Doubling Your Profits? Is Zero Drawdown the Ultimate Goal? This Week’s Top 2 Traders Use Data to Reveal the Answers!!

📢 This Week's Report: Two Extreme Strategies, Both Outstanding

1️⃣ jojoooo chose a high-risk, high-reward path——

He went all-in on one-sided call options, betting heavily on QQQ and SOFI to secure a 757.04% return. Despite a 43.88% drawdown, his results proved that daring to hold pays off.

2️⃣ xx Harry xx , on the other hand, took a different path——

trading both long and short, profiting on every trade, and finishing with 100% cash in hand. With a 498.79% return and 0.00% drawdown, he steadily secured his spot on the podium.

Some are willing to endure a drawdown of over 40% in exchange for explosive growth,

while others pursue steady compounding returns with zero drawdown.

🌟Let’s see exactly how they did it!!

No. 1 Trader🏆: jojoooo

1️⃣ Core Trading Strategy : Ultra-short-term explosive growth, relying on one-sided bullish bets

  • Time-weighted return as high as 757.04%

A 757.04% weekly return, far exceeding market averages, shows this strategy relies on high-leverage, concentrated short-term options for alpha—not market beta.

  • Highly Concentrated Profit Sources

The top five trades were all short-term calls, focused on QQQ and SOFI with precise pre-rally entry—demonstrating clear conviction on specific assets and strike prices.

  • Extremely Conservative Position Management

Cash at 82.91% vs. options at 17.09% (0% stocks) indicates the trader rarely holds positions continuously. He remains largely unpositioned, waiting most of the time, and only builds concentrated positions when high-certainty opportunities arise.

2️⃣ Risk Control and Behavioral Characteristics

  • Maximum Drawdown : 43.88%

Although the final returns were extremely high, significant drawdowns occurred during the process, indicating that the trading was not “risk-free arbitrage” but rather involved significant directional volatility risk. The reasons are speculated as follows:

  1. Heavy position sizing per trade; short-term price reversals led to rapid net value drawdowns

  2. No use of stop-loss or hedging tools; reliance on the underlying asset eventually reverting to the expected direction

  3. No futures, funds, or stock holdings → No multi-asset hedging or diversification; the strategy relies heavily on options as the sole instrument, resulting in concentrated risk sources

  • Profit structure

    A small number of trades contribute the vast majority of profits, consistent with the characteristics of “sniper-style” trading

Summary

jojoooo is a short-term, “sniper-style” options trader characterized by “high cash reserves + high leverage + high concentration.” Their strengths include:

  • Strong market timing ability; low trading frequency but high win rate

  • No overnight positions, avoiding unnecessary risk exposure

  • Extremely high potential for explosive returns

However, risks to note include:

  • A single misjudgment may lead to significant drawdowns

  • Lack of diversification and hedging; the strategy experiences severe volatility in adverse market conditions

  • Not suitable for replication by traders with low risk tolerance or those unable to monitor the market frequently

No. 2 Trader🏆: xx Harry xx

1️⃣ Core Trading Strategy : Two-way options trading, capturing volatility in multiple directions

  • Extremely high time-weighted return: 498.79%

Achieving nearly 500% in a single week, this strategy also falls under high-leverage, short-term trading, though the return is slightly lower than the top-ranked trader's.

  • Profit Structure Shows Two-Way Characteristics

2️⃣ Risk Control and Behavioral Characteristics

  • Position and Capital Management : Extreme Cash Strategy

  1. At the end of the statistical period, the portfolio was completely empty, holding no overnight or cross-period positions

  2. All trades were completed intraday or within an extremely short timeframe, with all positions closed before settlement

  3. Capital utilization efficiency was extremely high, but risk was exposed only within the trading window.

  • Maximum Drawdown : 0.00%

This is an extremely rare metric given a 498% return. Possible explanations include:

  1. Every trade generated a positive return, with no losing trades;

  2. Strict stop-loss and take-profit rules ensured losing positions were closed before losses could expand;

  3. Extremely low trading frequency, entering only when certainty is very high and exiting quickly.

Summary

xx Harry xx is a "high-confidence two-way options trader" who captures both upside and downside on a single index through short-term options. Each trade is closed independently, with no overnight positions or unrealized losses — resulting in more conservative execution.
