A real $10,000, run by rules, in public

This site is the live record of a systematic trading experiment. On 2026-08-20 a real Interactive Brokers account was funded with $10,000 and handed a fixed set of rules — every trade it makes, every signal it generates, and the full P&L are published here automatically, wins and losses alike.

The rules in one paragraph

Spot only — long or flat, no leverage, no shorting. Each asset gets a daily composite score from −100 to +100: trend regime versus the 200-day average (the backbone), 12-month momentum, short-term pullback positioning, MACD confirmation, and a small bounded adjustment for scheduled macro events. Buys only ever happen above the 200-day average; positions are built in ~10% tranches with hard caps per name; sells are triggered by tiers, not feelings. A separate “Pulse” process evaluates sudden crashes and spikes against each asset's own volatility and historical base rates.

What you'll find here

Why publish it?

Because public accountability is the strongest known cure for undisciplined trading — and because honest, complete track records (including the losing weeks) are rare on the internet. This is a personal tool first; you are welcome to read along.

Nothing on this site is financial advice or a recommendation. It is one person's experiment with their own money, published as-is.
