Day 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 move was the fees from scaling in, so booked actually eased a touch to +$342 after fees, down from +$348 at Day 2's close. That's the honest cost of building a position, and booked is still the only number I count.

The long itself ended the day about +$59 in the green — but that's open, unrealized paper, and I don't count a cent of it until I close. At 25x it sits roughly 7% above its liquidation price, so it's real risk on the table, not a victory lap.

Account closed Day 3 around $2,451 against $2,049.60 deposited. No closes, booked basically flat — just conviction on a position that's still wide open.
