Sat out Monday entirely — TACO Instance 848 sent ES 200 points in both directions on a social media post — low confidence, correct decision, no harm done
Tuesday hit back immediately — SPX 4 from 4, RUT 3 from 3 — the cleanest session of the week
Wednesday IV chaos triggered stops twice on SPX — took re-entries, adjusted sizing — RUT one clean Lazy Popper — net positive both instruments
Thursday nearly went full tilt on the RUT — cup of tea, ear lobes, woosaaaah — came back, cleaned up, very profitable day
Friday closed it cleanly — SPX 3 from 3, RUT 3 from 3 — week total 25 trades, 21 wins, 84% win rate
