Celeritas Fund official launch!
New paper trading journey starts now!
Hello everyone, I just wanted to write this article to further explain the my paper trading portfolio. The first change is I have decided to use TradingView’s paper trading account with a starting balance of $100,000. There are a few reason I decided to switch to the portfolio.
The main reason is that TradingView is my go to charting platform. Now on to what assets will be traded in this portfolio. I will mainly be focusing on US listed equities along with US futures. Unfortunately due to limitations on TradingViews end I will not be able to paper trade options on TradingView. Finally I will not be able trade anything not listed in the US. I hope to find a better paper trading platform so I can trade foreign markets and more complex fixed income assets.
The goal of this project is to share as much alpha as possible and to test out a new rules based discretionary trading system I’m currently working on. Shoutout to Grant
for sparking this idea in my head.I plan on keep readers updated with my trades by doing a weekly review of that weeks trades. I’ll also try my best to update on changes on Twitter and Substack notes.

Trades and reasoning:
Below is the Excel spreadsheet I will be using to keep track of my trades for the Celeritas-Fund. It is from
so all credit goes to him. (Figure 1) Below Figure 1 is the actual Excel document which I will add to every Celeritas-Fund review posts.
The first trade I took was a long position in UBH24. I really like this trade, it has several factors in its favor. I might end up changing my stop loss/ take profit but I think the current R:R is solid. As noted in Figure 1 my UST futures model entered into a long position. I plan on sharing my models in an upcoming post so stay on the lookout for that! Also on the 2 hour timeframe UBH24 has broken out of a falling wedge pattern. (Figure 2) Finally with the end of this week having some important economic data releases (PMI, labor market prints, etc) I see more upside in being long UBH24.
As noted in Figure 1 the 2nd and final trade I put on is long GCJ24 aka gold futures. The reason I like going long gold here is due to its recent momentum and strength. (Figure 3) As the OG safe haven trade we are seeing more market participants buy up gold. Also apologies for the extremely messy chart in Figure 3, it has been a very long day and I wanted to get this published ASAP. Hopefully Figure 3 is good enough to get my point across.
That is all I have for this article, thank you so much for the support especially on part one of my first primer! Part 2 is currently in the works but I got some great feedback on part 1 that will help me write a more cohesive and useful primer. So with all that being said hopefully part 2 of the corporate bond will be finished by early-mid February. Stay on the lookout for new articles and thanks again for all of the support!
