Superseded on November 8, 2026. Three days in, I replaced this test with the $20k test: one indicator, one instrument, two months, $20,000. This page stays exactly as it was written on November 6; nothing below has been edited since.
The $2,400 test: scoreboard
A prop payout, a break-even indicator, 60 days, one change a week. Scoreboard written November 6. Updated every Sunday.
This is the page I update. Every Sunday at 19:00 Eastern the numbers below change. Nothing else on it does.
MyFundedFutures paid me $2,400 in early November, 80% of a $3,000 payout. It sits in its own bank account. Less than $2,000 of it may be spent on funded accounts. For 60 days, November 6, 2026 to January 5, 2027, I trade my setup indicator by hand and change it once a week at most. In January I read the scoreboard out, good or bad.

The checks were fixed before the first trade. The Substack post of November 6, 2026 is the public record of the scoreboard; its publish timestamp is the date, and the table below is copied from it unchanged.
One thing to know about the third check. In the 9:30 to 11:00 window I expect one or two A+ signals a week. Over 60 days that is somewhere between 10 and 20 trades, far too few to tell skill from noise. So Edge is the weakest check by design. The primary outcome is Discipline and whether the loop holds. If the edge number comes in positive I will say so, and say how few trades it rests on.
The days
The money
The $2,400 buys MyFundedFutures Pro 50K evaluations. As of November 7, 2026 an eval costs $159 on promo and $265 at the regular price. The target is $3,000 against a $2,000 end-of-day trailing max loss, with no daily loss limit and a 50% consistency rule that applies in the eval only. Once funded, the first payout comes 14 days after the first trade, once the account is $2,100 above its start; $1,000 minimum, an 80/20 split, and a cap of 3 micros.
The tally
From the journal, checked at 22:07 Eastern on November 6.
Trading mornings so far: 1 of 40. A+ signals: 0. Trades: 0 (n = 0). Off-plan trades: 0 of 0. Changes proposed: 0, kept: 0. Spent: $0 on 0 accounts.
Day one was a wiring test. The grader ran with no model behind it, so there are no real grades yet either. The first real signals come when the market opens on Monday.
The indicator
The changelog
Every change goes here with the test I wrote before it ran and the verdict after. A week with no change is fine. A change without a written test is not allowed.
The rules
The hard rules do not move for the test: $1,000 max loss per account per day, 5 MNQ max per trade, done at 11:00. The indicator and the grader advise. I click every order.
What counts as a yes is all four checks. Spending the full $2,000 is a no. In between, I say which parts worked.
I will not redraw the scoreboard, add a fifth check, or extend past January 5.
How to follow
- Sunday, 19:00 Eastern: the week's readout as a post. Week N of 9, the five numbers with n, one chart, the change proposed and its test, what I got wrong.
- Saturday: the change proposal as a Note, with the test that would reject it, before it runs.
- The verdict on last week's change goes out as a Note the Saturday after.
- This page carries the running totals. The Substack post of November 6 carries the scoreboard as it was written.
