🧠 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.
📌 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.
✅ Final Recap
- Week 6 = Consistency & Discipline
- ✅ 2 for 2 Wins
- 💰 Total P&L: $937
- 🔍 R&D focus on 0/7 DTE
- 🔒 No overexposure or weekend risk
