Million Dollar Path

Small account. Real numbers. The long, boring road from $8,400 to $1,000,000.

Post Archive

Everything by month, newest first. Weekly review posts get their own pages; the shorter weekday notes live on the front page until Blogger's pager pushes them off, and the monthly money numbers live forever in the trade log. I don't delete posts when they age badly — the 2023 sizing posts are still up there, warts and all, because that's the whole point of the blog.

2026

2025

2024

  • — The year I stopped checking P&L intraday (mostly)
  • — Drawdown diary: -$4,200 in five weeks and what got cut
  • — "One system, one size, one sentence" — the trading plan rewrite
  • — First ever 100-trade review: the stats said I was a different trader than I thought

2023 — the learning-tax years

  • — First "I think this is working" month
  • — Weekly options era, the posts I reread through my fingers
  • — The post that started it all (link goes to the about page, which quotes the embarrassing bits)

Counts for the curious: 40-ish weekly reviews, 4 milestone posts, 2 rule changes that stuck, 1 that didn't. The full monthly P&L is in the trade log; the tools and books behind all of it are on the gear & reads page.
