what’s working #
vol detection:
blocked 3 trades this week that would’ve lost money.
one stop out (-$240) is way better than three stop outs (-$850).
correlation limits:
rejected AAPL position monday (0.88 correlation with QQQ).
AAPL dumped later that day. would’ve lost $315.
position sizing:
keeping size at 1.25% risk per trade.
largest loss was $240. manageable.
june progress #
goal: +$3,000 current: +$780 remaining: +$2,220 in 3 weeks

mental state #
focused. disciplined. not stressed.
systems are working. just need to keep executing.
still single. still going to gym 4x/week. still in therapy weekly.
life is simple: trade, code, gym, sleep, repeat.
works for me.
week 2 preview #
continue current approach.
no changes to working strategies.
aim for 6-8 trades.
3:12am. week 1 done. staying disciplined. week 2 starts tomorrow.
