🔄 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.

live account- small account challenge, day 28 Started with $625.00 trading small and gaining big. Let's go!!! Also traded prior to this month a little but it has taken off this month. and here are all of today's trades on a 2-minute chart.

🚨 Small Account Update! 🚨 It’s been a little while since I shared an update, but I’m still here, still moving forward! 🐢➡️🏁 📈 24 total days traded so far 🧠 I’m currently trading 4 micros and finding that staying within a daily margin of 10–24% has been a sweet spot. 🎯 Once I hit \$3K, I’ll bump up the size to **5 micros**. Yes — I’ve been tempted to go bigger 😅 but I’ve learned (and re-learned) that slow, steady growth really is the best. 💡 💥 I did take a \$620 loss on Thursday — slipped up and accidentally traded 2 minis instead of micros after switching accounts. Totally my mistake. 🤦‍♂️ But I didn’t let it spiral — got it back with 4 micros over the next couple days. This journey is teaching me that small steps + consistency = compounding success. 💪📊 💵 Starting size: \$625 🧮 I’ve nearly 4X’d the account so far! 🔥 💸 Planning to withdraw the original \$625 once I reach \$4K — then it’s 100% house money from there. 🏦✨ 🎯 Long-term goal: 252 trading days or \$660,000 — whichever comes first. 🚀 Thanks for following along! Let's keep compounding. 📚📈💥 💬 Ask yourself: “What if I treated this one account like it was already worth $660,000?” You’d slow down. You’d protect it. You’d plan better. And that mindset is what makes the difference. 💎 Shark🦈

Funded my live account with $2,500. I emptied it out earlier this year to pay bills and only traded props since. I am so done with the platform glitches that seem to only affect funded prop accounts… so I started with $2,552 this morning after yesterday’s ACH posted and scalped for 2.5 hours from just past the open to just after Noon. Ended up with a $3,015 account balance for an 18% 1 day gain. Only traded MYM and MNQ. Averaged 4 MYM contracts and 2 MNQ contracts per trade.

Took the Asia 15min ORB to the downside, and let this baby run on down for most of the night into London session. Definitely my longest trade hold. I added on to it as we broke lower on the London 15min ORB for a nice 3k win on the day. Fires trade on my new 300k Apex account. Sized small for the trailing drawdown as I want to hold this account for as long as possible.
