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.

*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.
