doing a trading challenge again. third time's a charm

little bit of context:
did a 100k-to-1m trading challenge on twitter from summer to winter in 2024. took me 119 days to complete (was prime conditions back then). highest multiple was 5x, it was done with sound risk management rails and 100+ trades, no big outlier wins or big kingmaker trades and no airdrop money or any form of monetizing my social media. that was my prime. i was max focussed, followed protocol, brushed off mistakes quickly and got back on track fast after setbacks.

shortly after completion of this challenge i off-ramped a bit of money and started a second one. 500k-to-5m challenge, every trade in public wallets and logged in my telegram channel because twitter suspened my acc. ran from december 2024 and stopped in august 2025 with a balance of around 1.5m. it was a failure. the first couple of months went stellar and i quickly tripled my money (again on sound risk management, no excessive risk) but then things started to derail. i took bigger risks, i stopped following protocol, i let trades run longer than necessary and i got sloppy on logging changes. then destiny struck in form of the alt5 sigma and wlfi trades..some of you remember. i got blinded by greed and oversized horribly. was wounded badly and all went downhill from there. in the months that followed i had trouble processing this loss and i could not find my way back. my trading went more and more shizo (pasternaks finest soldiers remember), i overtraded a lot and took low conviction setups instead of being patient. still made some bank here and there and ended the year 2025 breakeven but was mentally wrecked. started drinking and fell into depression. spend everyday reminiscing of what could have been, torturing myself.

bottom line: i could not handle operating a 7-figure portfolio at that time and i had deficits in emotional control that went under the radar previously. i invested a lot of effort, time and money to work on these problems (thank you M for the help) and now i am rdy to try again.

why am i doing this?
my best performances were always while trading in public. i like the pressure, the accountability and it prevents me from doing stupid things when i know people are watching. also this space is full of larps and liars who give people a false impression of what it really means to trade fulltime. i want to give an unfiltered insight into this journey and hope others will follow and we bring a bit of the old glory of CT back. where people had the balls to put their money where their mouth is and respect was only granted to those who had skin in the game and stood their ground in the arena.

the only real downside of doing this sort of public challenges is the risk of anchor bias due to fixed targets. i am aware of that, but in my case i think the benefits outweight the negatives. shooters shoot.

going full Cortez mode again, the boats will be burned. everything that can be sacrificed will be sacrificed. i will move to a fresh tax haven where i don't know a single soul, to lower my tax rate from 16% to 8%. will spend as much time as possible in front of the screen and try to push myself to the maximum. majority of my money will be in the markets again, no big safety nets and no plan B. either let me fly or give me death. no inbetween.

every trade will be logged (entry, exit, size) and will be facilitated on public wallets as much as possible. end of every quarter i will crunch the numbers and publish a summary and an equity curve.

i am using the same template as in my first 2 public trading challenges. the progress bars start at 10% instead of 0% so that eventual negative balances can be displayed. 0% is 0$, 10% is starting point and 100% is 8888888$.

comments will either be disabled or not read. the reasons for this are two-fold.
