$6,000+ profit in one session ?
Now THAT was a good recovery !
It was one of those weeks…
I opened on Monday with a clean $100K, and almost immediately found myself on the wrong side of the market. It happens. No biggie.
Tuesday was pretty much the same, as was Wednesday.
By Thursday’s close I was down almost 3%
Now Trump had been on fire all week – threatening sanctions, tariffs and all sorts, causing huge volatility, and I just couldn’t seem to key in with the market sentiment – I just couldn’t catch a break…
…then Friday happened…
Yup, that’s 5 trades and $6295 profit in one session, closing out the week at +5.9%

Here’s how it played out:
- I identified and entered 5 x US30 shorts & 2 x US500 shorts
- yup, we caught a bear-run, so let’s go for the throat !
- You can see the balance of the account stands at $97,996
- I’d found a couple of smaller trades earlier in the session to lift my balance off the $97k low, but like I said, by Thursday’s close I was down almost 3% on the week.
- So, with a unrealised profit of $6,014 showing, and my equity running at $104,011, both my US500 trades went to full profit.
- That couple of grand pumped my balance to $99,625 – That’s good, but still less than my Monday opening balance of $100K !
- So, just the 5 x US30 shorts left in the market
- My balance stands at $99,625 and thanks to the continuing bear-run I have another unrealised profit of $6,750 showing.
- It’s 4.30pm on a Friday and my equity is now at $106,375 – which looks like a really bloody good place to close out for the week.
- In the time it took me to manually exit all positions the market had pulled back by a couple of hundred dollars,
- Between that and the commissions I finished the week up by $5,900 and a bit of loose change – or +5.9%.
So, in Friday’s US session I made nearly $9,000:
From a base of $97,000 I closed the week just shy of $106,000
