+5k so far.

full disclosure this is the _perfect_ market to run this in. long deep swings. im expecting to get my balls shot off if we hit any serious chop.

but yeah $1k more and i will have gotten this account funded by doing nothing but running some python and cruising celebrity gossip blogs.

+5335 in 2 days, trading a single contract the entire time. verrrry nearly gave back about 50% of the days profits at a 3:50 reversal, decided to stay hands off and just let things play out. ended up re-reversing for a $330 profit but i have concerns. running with a stop loss is demonstrably bad for my net profits but NQ is violent enough to get me margin called or fry my combine account if a real news-driven spike moves against me. i think ive just kinda internalized that the only way to insulate myself from that risk is to get lucky, pull down a few days in a row like the previous 2, and count on those profits to absorb any black swan moments.
