@liqprovid3r @SystematicToro What percentage of the deposit do you recommend using as position size when entering a trade to aim for steady growth?

Day 14

Start: $1,614.18

Started the month with a hit.
Tried to fade $MSW — no news, low volume, looked weak.
Didn’t factor in it was a Chinese ticker — something I’ve read traders avoid.
It exploded nearly 100% in seconds — I was lucky to cut fast.

🔴 PNL: –$500.25

July Summary (partial month)

🔴PNL: –$251
(DAS monthly subscription is not included)

My focus moving forward is to ensure that average losses remain smaller than average profits.
A lot to work on, but also some clear insights gained.

Day 13

Start: $1,516.25

Focused on emotional recovery today.
Skipped the premarket and open — gave myself time.
Opened the platform mid-day and traded lightly with small size.
Small green, but it felt good.

🟢 PNL: +$61.03

[Trader Drew @TraderDrew_]

Day 12

Start: $2,263.82

Another big red day.
Took the first two trades on “healthcare news.”
$BVS had no volume at all, and I really believed in the breakout on $IMNN.
Ended up hitting max loss limits and got locked out.
Time to reassess the strategy.

🔴 PNL: –$719.11

Day 11

Start: $2,051.07

No charts today — just scalping.
Couldn't hold onto any good moves.

PNL: +$168.27
Equity: $2,219.34

Day 10

Start: $1,983.95

First trade of the day was $BDRX — jumped in on some biotech “news” and instantly killed the vibe.
Reduced size after that and just scalped quietly.
Ended the day slightly green.

PNL: +$60.34
Equity: $2,044.29

Day 9

Start: $2,189.73
Tough market for me today.
Tried the breakout on $LIDR, tricky mover, couldn’t manage it.
Shorted $WAI a bit early. Second trade worked, but with small size.
Red day, but proud of staying disciplined, no oversizing, no tilt.
PNL: –$186.72
Equity: $2,003.01

[Trader Drew @TraderDrew_]

Day 8
Start: $1,722.12
Recovered the initial deposit.
Caught a couple decent trades on $CYCC and $OSRH, closed $OSRH a bit too early.
Started shorting $ESPR too soon. Second entry was solid, but again took profits early, didn’t cover the full loss.
PNL: +$453.31
Equity: $2,175.44

Day 7

Start: $1,361.56 (after fees)

Literally just one real trade today — $WBUY. Shut down the platform right after and went back to sleep.

Hoping for a quick recovery, but staying extra cautious from here.

PNL: +$358.26

Current Equity: $1,719.82

[Trader Drew @TraderDrew_]

Day 6

Start: $3,120.30 (after fees)

Started green, but after a big red trade on $PLRZ, my brain checked out. Took random oversized trades.
Shorted $KSS too early, got stopped at the top — missed the real move.
Need to reset mentally.

PNL: –$1,735.06 😞

Equity: $1,385.24

[Trader Drew @TraderDrew_]

Day 5

Start: $2,540.93

Solid green day. $OPAD paid well.
Shorted $OPEN a few times but couldn’t hold on. It ran without me.
Got smacked by $DEVS (straight into a halt) and took a hit on $OPEN too. Lesson learned.
Rest were basic scalps.

PNL: +$657.86

Current Equity: $3,198.79

Day 4

Start: $2,382.59 (after fees)

Heavy overtrading today. No conviction, no patience — in/out, in/out. Couldn't hold anything.
Need to tighten up. Will start screen recording for review.

PNL: +$312.98 (commissions will bite)

Current Equity: $2,695.57

[Trader Drew @TraderDrew_]

Day 3

Start: $2,053.35 (after fees)

Traded ~3hrs from premarket — mostly scalps, though a few trades had room to run. Was nicely green and done. But for some reason, jumped into $ATNF right before the close. Classic ludomania moment.

PNL: +$377.29

Current Equity: $2,430.64

[Trader Drew @TraderDrew_]

Day 2

Start: $1,948.45 (after commissions)

Overslept. First trade on $VCIG — meant to exit, accidentally added instead.

Spent the rest of the day scalping to dig out of the hole.

PNL: +$201.75

Current Equity: $2,150.20

[Trader Drew @TraderDrew_]

Day 1

Deposited: $2,000
–$72.50 DAS fee → $1,927.50 start

First trade on $MSPR — expected a bounce, but couldn’t exit in time due to a hotkey script error.
Still finished +$119.12 (before commissions).

Will only post clean, idea-based trades.

Current Equity: $2,046.62

It took nearly 2 weeks to get approved after registering with Ocean One Securities. Not fast, though I’ve seen others with the same issue. Just need to fund the account and start trading now.

[Trader Drew @TraderDrew_]

Unfortunately, the previous plan didn’t work out. Now I’m opening an account with Ocean One Security with a $2000 deposit. The goal remains the same—10% per day on the deposit, if possible. I’ll try to take it slow.
