Today, I opened a new 2/7 DTE Double Calendar — and this time, I’m letting it ride. No early exits. No tinkering. No second-guessing.
I’ve had wins. I’ve had losses. But discipline beats outcome, and this challenge is about building that muscle.
🧠 The Plan:
Follow the automation.
Let theta do its thing.
Stay neutral. Stay mechanical.
📈 The Position (OPEN):

🤖 Letting Automation Run:
Unlike Day 57 — when I exited at +5% despite knowing the strategy called for more patience — today I resisted. The setup is still valid. No deltas have breached. No stop-loss hit.
Just data. Just structure. Just time.
This is where discipline compounds.
I’ll update tomorrow based on the outcome — win or loss — and either way, it’s another step forward in the 1000 Days journey.
