I had to take Thursday 8/16 off due to traveling. but today, Friday 8/17, TS data and executions were perfect through the fed cut volatility. even more impressive considering how far I am from the East coast.

according to Green, they will charge you around $4000 for the no frills incubator fund. they say that is sufficient to build a track record. if you want audits, tax returns, etc, it'll probably run you 15-30k to get started.
