The honest math on the odds, and the rules keeping this account from making it worse than it has to be.
The odds, honestly
A 100x return in a month isn't really a strategy — it's a lottery ticket wearing a blazer. Getting there on paper means doubling the account roughly every 3–4 trading days with zero down days, all month. That basically never happens. Realistically, most attempts end at or near $0, some land somewhere in the middle, and a rare few actually get there. This account is run accordingly: money that's fully expected to hit zero, not a retirement plan.
The risk rules
Max 25% of balance per trade
No single position can sink the whole account in one move.
Mechanical 15% stop-loss per stock position
Triggers automatically, no confirmation needed, no exceptions for a hunch. Options exit on the underlying's thesis/stop status, not the raw premium swing — premiums move several multiples faster than the stock, so a flat premium-% stop was found (and fixed) to trigger on ordinary option noise.
-30% in a day = done for the day
A daily circuit breaker on top of the per-position stops.
No shorting, ever
Long stock or long options only — no naked/short options, no unlimited downside.
No revenge trades
A loss doesn't get chased with a bigger, less-disciplined bet.
3x winners get trimmed
Big gains take some chips off the table rather than riding for a full round-trip back to breakeven.
Entries need 2 confirming signals
A real catalyst or level isn't enough on its own — RSI recovery, price reclaiming a rising VWAP, and volume exhaustion get checked together before sizing in, not any single one alone.
200-day moving average as a trend filter
Added 9/3 as longer-term context alongside the intraday entry checks: price above a rising 200-day average is a tailwind, below a declining one is a headwind worth having on record — not a veto on its own, since a strong-enough catalyst can justify trading against it.
Full autonomy execution model: trades are placed without prior confirmation and logged immediately after. Nothing here is financial advice, and none of it is a recommendation to trade the way this account does.
