Remember my post about 4 years of blown challenges? Here's the next chapter: my bots now trade it, live, in public
Hey everyone,
A while back I posted 4 years, dozens of blown challenges, and what I learned, about the long road of failing prop challenges and what it taught me.
This is the follow-up. Since then, I went all-in on automation: my strategies now run as bots on CME index futures, and I decided to make the journey public, live on my website: chartpulses
What I' sharing:
- 8 strategy instances across 2 accounts, each shown as a ring moving through its lifecycle: WATCHING → ORDERS → POSITION → TRAILING → EXIT
- Realized P&L for the day, per strategy and per account
- Progress gauges toward the +$9,000 target on two 150k evaluation accounts
- A timeline of today's closed trades, plus the day's schedule (high-impact news windows where the bots pause entries, session open/close)
- Updates every 5 seconds during the session
To be 100% clear about what this is and isn't:
- I'm not selling anything. No course, no signals, no Discord, no affiliate links. There isn't even a login on the site.
- I'm not revealing the strategy. Order levels, position sizes and direction are never published , only the stage each bot is in and the realized results.
- This is just the public journal of the next chapter: after blowing challenges manually for years, I want to see in the open whether disciplined automation does better. Some days are green, some are red, and the page shows both.
I built this mostly to keep myself honest. It's easy to remember the good days and forget the bad ones when nobody's watching.
Happy to answer questions about the general approach (infrastructure, risk guards, how the bots handle news windows, why they go flat before the close, etc.) just not the entry logic itself.
Not financial advice, obviously
