🔄 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; 👇
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.
No shortcuts — just one right step at a time. 🦈
