## Week 1: +3.1% against a 15% goal

The $20,000 paper account finished its first three trading days at **$20,620**: **+$620 (+3.1%)**. Realized profit is +$219 and the open positions are up +$400\. That is about a fifth of the way to the weekly goal, and the goal is a target, not a promise.

The biggest contributor was a USO call: half was sold at +63% and the runner is still open. Two open positions (ISRG and AAPL) are slightly under water, and the week was only three days.

### Every trade this week

| **$USO call $157 (half)**   | closed · $3.40 → $5.55   | +63.2% |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------ | ------ |
| **$VSTM shares\***          | closed · $8.80 → $8.82   | +0.2%  |
| **$USO call $157 (runner)** | open · $3.40 → $6.55     | +92.6% |
| **$DHR shares**             | open · $225.00 → $229.04 | +1.8%  |
| **$NEM shares**             | open · $117.56 → $118.60 | +0.9%  |
| **$ISRG shares**            | open · $430.32 → $426.70 | −0.8%  |
| **$AAPL call $345**         | open · $6.00 → $5.95     | −0.8%  |

**\*Rule skipped.** The stop on VSTM was hit on Oct 15 and I held through it instead of selling. I exited later at $8.82\. Result: +$4\. By the rules it would have been about −$200.
