This is a losing week, reported as one. A weekly recap that only publishes when the numbers look good isn't a recap — it's marketing wearing a recap's clothes.

What the numbers show
Average win: +1.59%. Average loss: -2.19%. Losses ran roughly 1.4x the size of wins this week — an asymmetry large enough on its own to turn a break-even win rate into a losing week.
Winning trades were held for an average of 4.1 hours before closing. Losing trades were held for an average of 5.5 hours — roughly 1.3x longer. That shape (cutting winners fast, giving losers more time) is the same pattern behind the disposition effect: a bias toward locking in small wins quickly while letting losing positions run.
