june starts strong

first day of june. up $385.

quick update
#

thursday 6/1:

  • SPX put spread: +$385 (closed at 50% profit)
  • account: $341,335 → $341,720

clean entry, clean exit. exactly how it should work.

vol regime detection
#

deployed monday morning in paper mode.

been monitoring all week. working perfectly:

  • flagged tuesday spike (VIX +12%)
  • kept me out of trade that would’ve lost $280
  • gave all-clear wednesday when vol settled

going live with it tomorrow (friday).

june goal status
#

goal: +$3,000 for the month day 1: +$385

need: +$2,615 in remaining 20 trading days target: ~$130/day

totally doable if i don’t fuck it up.

mental state
#

confident but not cocky.

one profitable month doesn’t mean i’ve figured it all out.

but the systems are working. that matters.

friday plan
#

vol detection goes live. will only trade if regime is “normal” or “elevated”. no trading if “spike” or “low”.

let’s see if it actually prevents losses in real trading.


2:47am. good start to june. keeping momentum.
