🔄 Monthly Recap – 252 Day/1000X Futures Challenge
🔄 Monthly Recap – 252 Day/1000X Futures Challenge Not Financial Advice – Just a look into a personal challenge. 📅 Total Trading Days So Far: 36 (Friday, a 1-month recap) 💵 Starting Capital: $625.00 📈 Current Progress: Just shy of 10X +$6,034.16 using up to 10 micros , 5-15% daily margin 🧠 Mindset Check-In This challenge has taught me more than I expected. The shift from trading a larger account to managing a small one rewires your brain — and that’s a good thing. You’re forced to respect boundaries. You're humbled. You’re reminded that discipline is a skill, not a suggestion. 👉 If you start with more capital, you often bring old habits. 👉 If you start small, you build new patterns — intentionally. 🧩 Small gains start to add up. Small adjustments become big improvements. And most importantly: you begin to master risk — the one thing in trading that’s always in your control. 💡 Trade Notes & Lessons 🟢 Took a long position during an Asia session, trading Futures MNQ @ 23,300.25 🎯 Closed it for a strong win near 23,347.50–23,350 ⛔️ Stop was placed at session low — never hit ⚠️ Made an error this month — added to my position, not realizing I was using minis instead of micros. 💰 I closed the trade early because I hit my profit cap for the night. 🙏 This wasn’t about greed — it was about protecting emotional balance. ❌ Took a small loss this past week by breaking a rule. 🔁 But I recovered, corrected the behavior, and stayed on track. That's a win in itself. 💬 Favorite Quote This Month: “If you focus on what you could make, you will be tempted…” – Warren Buffett 📖 Full quote here; 👇 https://lnkd.in/ggN_x-Sc This has been my anchor. It’s easy to chase numbers. But chasing discipline pays the real dividends. 🔭 Looking Ahead The journey to 1000X won’t happen overnight. But here’s what I know: ✅ I’m building brain muscle. ✅ I’m getting sharper every week. ✅ I’m protecting capital like it’s already worth $1M. Slow, steady, focused.
