The $1K Challenge Account started as a personal project. June’s price action was brutal. Every morning felt like walking into a battlefield. In the first three weeks alone, I lost around $15K. The money wasn’t what bothered me the most, as I’d already had my fair share of big losses. What really bothered me was how I lost it. I was oversizing, overtrading, revenge trading, FOMOing… basically every bad habit a trader can have. That’s when I decided to strip everything back and start a $1K Challenge. At first, it was hard. I was so used to trading a much bigger account that $1K literally felt like pennies. I honestly didn’t think I’d stick with it. But over the past two weeks, I built a system that forced me to stay disciplined. In my last 8 trading days, I’ve only had one red day and that was because I broke my own rules. Looking back, this challenge has never been about making money. It’s about building discipline, fixing bad habits, and becoming a better trader. I’m now running this challenge with our server, and I hope I can keep building on the discipline and system I’ve created. 🙏

Called out GOOGL on live a few minutes after the market opens and made almost 100% in 3–5 minutes. Calling it a day. We bagged again today. 🤑 The $1K Challenge Account is now at $1,770 after just 8 trading days. I’ve mostly been taking one trade a day, and I even paper-handed a few winners over the past week because I was busy at work. Slow and disciplined. 📈

BREAKING: South Korea's KOSPI crashed -8.2% and dropped below 7,700. Over ₩518.5 trillion ($350 BILLION) has been wiped out from South Korean stocks following an overnight selloff in U.S. semiconductor stocks and rising inflation. South Korea's annual inflation rose to 3.2% in June, the highest since December 2023, up from 3.1% in May. Samsung and SK Hynix, which together make up 50% of the index, down -8.5% and -11.5%.

$NOW NOW is attempting to reverse after bouncing from the $89.39 swing low and breaking above its descending trendline. While price closed at $98 last Friday, buyers still need to reclaim the daily 20 EMA around $100.5 to confirm the breakout. As long as buyers hold the recent breakout area and reclaim $100.5, I’ll look for a move toward $103 (TP1), then $105 (TP2), with $110 (TP3) as the next major upside target if momentum continues. One thing also to note is the unusual bullish 7/2 options flow at the $103 and $105 strikes, alongside notable GEX positioning around $100, $102, and $110. If buyers can reclaim the daily 20 EMA, those levels could act as magnets and help fuel a move higher. If $NOW loses the recent breakout area and begins to break down, I’ll expect a retest of the $89.39 swing low. A break below $89.39 would invalidate the bullish thesis.
