2026-07-03Day 8 — pressing pause: the ETH short lost, I cashed everything out; +$1,520 net profit banked

Day eight is the entry I always promised I'd write honestly if it came, so here it is: the ETH short was wrong. The bounce kept going, and rather than let a 25x position…

2026-07-02Day 7 — first withdrawal: took $1,406 of my stake off the table; booked +$2,879, short ETH 25x

Day seven brings a first for this challenge: money moved OUT. I withdrew $1,406.07 back to my own wallet — taken from the $2,049.60 I originally put in, not from the…

2026-07-01Milestone — first $5,000 on Hyperliquid: $2,049.60 became $5,091 in six days, all on-chain

Six days ago I put $2,049.60 into a Hyperliquid wallet and said I'd turn $2,000 into $200,000 in public. Today the account crossed $5,000 for the first time — around…

2026-07-01Day 6 — closed the whole ETH long; booked more than doubled to +$3,042, account past $5,000

Day six is the one where the paper became real. I spent it DCA-ing out of the ETH long I'd been building since Day 2 — ten separate closes on the way up, $43.46 in fees…

2026-06-30Day 5 — account hit a new high near $4,000; booked +$1,520, holding a green ETH long

Day five was a green one. The account pushed to a new high — running around $4,000 as I write this, against the $2,049.60 I put in. That's nearly double in five days.…

2026-06-29Day 4 — scaled out of the ETH long for +$1,286; total booked now +$1,630

Day four was the biggest day yet — and I got there by playing it safe, not swinging for the fences. I spent it scaling out of the ETH long I'd built, selling in pieces…

2026-06-28Day 3 — built the ETH long, no closes; booked eased to +$342 on fees

Day three was a patience day — I didn't close a single trade. I spent it adding to the ETH long, building it up to about 18 ETH at 25x. With no closes, the only realized…

2026-06-27Day 2 — ETH and HYPE shorts booked +$172, then flipped long ETH 25x

Day two, still green on what counts. I shorted HYPE and ETH through the day and covered both for about +$172 after fees. That puts total booked since the $2,050 start at…

2026-06-26Day 1 — ETH and SOL shorts net +$175 on day one of 2K to 200K

Day one is done and it's a green one. I funded the account with about $2,050 and opened two shorts to start: 8.09 ETH near $1,582 and roughly 140 SOL around $73.20, both…
