Baby Account, Big Gains
Turning $5K into $50K—One Trade at a Time
Yesterday was one of those chef’s kiss trading days—when everything lined up almost perfectly.
The trade? SPX 5950p
💡 Entry: 1.90 average
💰 Baby Account Exits: 4.50, 6.20, 10.50 (Exit by R plan) +$1600 :)
💰 Big Account Exits: 10, 18 (Exit by Move plan)
The plan was solid, the execution was strong, but as always… there’s room to optimize.
BABY ACCOUNT RULES
Start with $5000
Use $1000 per trade
Sell 50% at T1, 30% at T2, 20 at T3 or discretion.
What Went Right?
We caught 90% of the move after the trigger. The levels were dialed in: 599.50 → 592, and it felt effortless. Members crushed it—one even doubled their account. Another was so dialed in that he published the plan before I did. That’s how locked in we were.
What Could Have Been Better?
I hesitated on the re-entry. SPX 5980p at 3 was a layup, and I froze.
I got too cheap. Wanted 5950p at 0.50 but ended up taking 1.90 instead—leaving a potential 20x gain on the table if entered at 0.80
I sold too soon. Big account took 80% at 10 when I could have squeezed for 20.
What’s the Lesson?
The chop before the turn was the hardest part. Instead of panic-selling, I need to:
✅ Have three plans:
1️⃣ Reaction trade at the key level
2️⃣ Failed breakout/breakdown play (Instead of selling, add size)
3️⃣ Flip if wrong (Double the size, go the other way)
The goal? Turn hesitation into aggression—at the right moments.
What’s Next?
This baby account challenge is just heating up. $5K to $50K isn’t a dream—it’s a process. If you want the next move before it happens, you know where to be.

Edge Trade Planner has 2 modes for calculating exits
Exit by R - The default is designed to generated consistent gains and system account growth
Exit by Move - Using the levels I publish, calculates the potential sell prices when levels are met
** I like to use a combination of both when I have conviction of the move. I always want to protect capital
