How We Calculate Rolling Volatility
For each day t, we take the previous 30 daily returns:
ri = (Balancei - Balancei-1) / Balancei-1
Daily Vol = StdDev(r1, r2, ..., r30)
Annualized Vol = Daily Vol × √252
Standard deviation is calculated using the population formula (dividing by N, not N-1). Annualization uses √252 to account for 252 trading days in traditional financial markets.

7. August 2026 Monthly Review
August was a steady, low-volatility month for Robuxio Equities. The portfolio returned +2.5% net, bringing year-to-date performance to +8.1%. Annualized volatility was just 4.3%, and the maximum drawdown during the month was limited to −0.6%, with 14 of 21 trading days positive.
Performance was broad-based, with every sleeve except crisis hedging contributing positively. Tactical allocation led the month, adding approximately +1.4% and recovering most of its July decline. Equity momentum contributed around +0.5% from established price trends, while short-term tactical added +0.3% from shorter-lived market moves. Equity mean reversion and real assets trend each added approximately +0.2%, the former through temporary price dislocations and the latter through systematic trend positions. Crisis hedging was essentially flat, as calm conditions kept the defensive sleeve largely inactive and limited its carrying cost.
