In my opinion, one main advantage of a (semi)quantitative investing approach is that one can continue trading according to plan even in case of stress or time constraints. In August, I had a longer vacation and was quite happy that I don’t have to worry about the markets too much. I can reduce the effort needed for my strategy to the bare minimum (downloading data, running R script, sell/buy accordingly) if needed. Unfortunately, my writing process is not automatized. So I once again have to use one blog post to summarize the two rebalancings in order to catch up to the present (sorry).
