$10K to $100K.

Fast trades need clear expectations. Read how I approach sizing, alerts, exits, and the pace of this challenge before following along.

1. 01

   Know the pace.

   I am a scalper. Entries and exits can move quickly. Follow only if that pace fits the way you trade, and be ready to manage your own position.

2. 02

   Allow for alert delays.

   I post alerts as quickly as I can, but there can be delays. Your entry or exit may differ from mine.

3. 03

   Start with a 15% maximum position.

   The initial maximum position size is 15% of the account. Sizing will change as the account grows.

4. 04

   Stops depend on the setup.

   There is no single stop for every trade. I will do my best to communicate my thinking and management as the trade develops.

5. 05

   Watch for sizing commentary.

   If I size a position to zero, I will communicate that in an alert or commentary. Pay attention to those updates as well as the entry.

6. 06

   Expect losing trades.

   I am not a 100% win rate trader. I have grown multiple accounts through how I manage trades. The focus is on the process and the full series of decisions.

7. 07

   Keep the room constructive.

   I am doing this to help people improve. Stay focused on learning and execution. When a trade does not work, we accept it and move on.

8. 08

   0DTE is part of the playbook.

   I will trade options that expire the same day. These positions can move fast and need active attention.

9. 09

   Take profits and manage.

   I take profits quickly, often around 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% gains. Those are reference points, not a fixed formula. If you enter a trade, you are responsible for managing it.

10. 10

    Fewer contracts, earlier exits.

    Early on, we will have fewer contracts. I expect to exit most on the first move, then let one or two run with the stop at breakeven when the position allows.

11. 11

    Give the account room to develop.

    The beginning is usually slower. Position management can evolve as the account grows. There is no need to force the pace.

12. 12

    Trade when the setup is there.

    Some days I will not trade. Other days I may take several trades. The opportunity determines the activity.

13. 13

    Aim for $100K by Christmas.

    The goal is to grow a $10,000 account to $100,000, targeting Christmas 2026. It is an ambitious goal, not a promised outcome.
