I tweet about trading, markets, and financial freedom. I document the journey with real stats, and full transparency. I’m a trader & the founder of MRPNL.
What happens if I manage $10,000 using the MRPNL EDGE?
I’m about to find out.
This July, I’m putting my trading edge, risk management, and emotional control to the test — publicly.
I’m not here to act like an expert.
The market is my mentor—and every mistake comes with a bill.
But I want to see how far discipline, good risk management, and a repeatable process can take me.
Starting balance: $10,000
I’ll begin with prop-firm challenges.
Each cycle will risk between 1% and 3% of my current balance, depending on the challenge rules.
First cycle budget: $100
Maximum cycle budget: $300
If a cycle fails, the cost comes out of the balance.
If I receive a payout, the balance grows — and future cycle budgets can grow with it.
I’ll share everything:
challenge fees
trades
wins
losses
passed challenges
failed attempts
payouts
resets
mistakes
lessons
The goal is not to look perfect.
The goal is to protect capital, follow the plan, and find out whether my edge holds up over time.
Today, the journal is empty.
The journey begins in July.
Coming soon.
Personal journey. Not financial advice.
BREAKING: The Pentagon reportedly delayed announcing the U.S. strikes on Iran until after the stock market closed at 4 p.m. ET on Friday, with the timing intended to minimize the immediate impact on financial markets, according to NBC News.
@KobeissiLetter Sounds reasonable, Anthropic have probably sucked off all the relevant people at this point and the administration is turning their attention to OpenAI now

@KobeissiLetter Bullish sentiment by itself doesn’t mean the market has to drop, but when everyone suddenly flips positive after a big move, the risk/reward gets less attractive.
so Trump’s still threatening illegal tariffs, basically acting like only he gets to set tariffs and other countries don’t.
also wild to say a country can’t tax economic activity inside its own borders. wonderful guy.
he’ll probably call it an unfair trade practice, then a court strikes it down later and everybody gets refunded.
@KobeissiLetter so after a quick pause in the Iran war, Mr. Trump’s right back on the tariff war. next up, same playbook with other countries like last year.
