Day 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 on the day — until the whole 31.64 ETH position was gone. Total booked since the $2,000 start now sits at +$3,042 after fees, more than double the +$1,520 at yesterday's log. It's the only number I count, and today it did the counting.
Then I shut it all down. I'm flat — ended the day back in cash, nothing leveraged running overnight. Same play as Day 4: sell in pieces on the way up, lock the real gain, don't hand it back. The long I flipped into on Day 2 at 25x is closed and paid in full.
Account closed Day 6 around $5,091 against $2,049.60 deposited — first time past $5,000, nearly 2.5x the stake in six days. And for once none of it is paper: no position, no liquidation price, nothing to sweat overnight. Flat, locked, on-chain. Tomorrow starts clean.
