-13% on Silver, that's it, took it off. 

Short from mid 93s, out 102s equivalent. 

Still think overall the trade is valid and data backed, simply did not work and big size did the rest. 

Prior $GLD and $SLV gains along the way account for 55-60% of this loss, so"

Thought I could rotate the $ for a quick gain then move it back in time to stack more.

Ended up completely sidelined.

Missed out on ~$4M (so far) because of a bit of greed."
