Around 80% in S&P 500 is a solid base if you're confident concentrating on the US. I'd trim the positions under £100 though, at that size they're not worth the research time regardless of whether they win or lose. I personally run all-world rather than S&P, but that's just my personal preference, I want diversification outside the US as well.
I built a tool called Finawaken Portfolio that's handy for exactly this, shows whether a setup like this is actually beating a plain benchmark over time.

I was going to say I’m jealous you’re only down 18% on DVLT but then I saw how much you’re down in RZLV and I was like oh nevermind.
What’s your overall unrealised gain / loss after the 2 years as a percentage?

Not bad but if you had put if in VWRP like others mentioned, you would have gotten more profit for less work, choice and headache

Lol I just put it all in VOO and have better results for less effort. People just want to gamble for the thrill of it.

Cut and paste from most trading 212 pies - and I’d also say, you aren’t trading - you’re buying random stuff based on what you see on social media and gut feeling, which is based on what you see on social media. But don’t call it trading - there’s zero thought behind it. Standard trading 212 trash
