π§ Strategy Recap
After a tough Week 5 (with the Day 33 drawdown), Week 6 was a controlled rebound. Both trades stayed within the expected range and decayed favorably. No forced setups. The focus shifted toward consistency and selectivity.
π I also used Friday (Day 40) to backtest the 0/7 DTE Friday strategy. While the win rate was ~50%, the drawdowns and negative expectancy ruled it out for now without better filters.
β Final Recap
- Week 6 = Consistency & Discipline
- β 2 for 2 Wins
- π° Total P&L: $937
- π R&D focus on 0/7 DTE
- π No overexposure or weekend risk
