Trade With Cong: the trader's journal
A $1,000 paper account that follows this playbook mechanically and publishes everything: open positions, every trade, the equity curve against SPY and QQQ. Nothing is deleted or edited. See the live playbook → · See the edge test across all playbooks →
Engine era starts 2026-10-01. This account began 2026-09-28; trades before 2026-10-01 came from the earlier system and are kept below for the record.
Since 2026-10-01 the account is
+0.00%
($1000.00 → $1000.00).
A small account cannot take every pick (cash and whole-share limits), so it can differ from the all-picks edge test. Results are small-sample and say little yet.
As of 2026-10-07 10:32 ET. Educational, not investment advice.
