But if I feel like the range is tight, I might double up. Just depends on how the market is.

Are you still trading the same algo? This sounds more like discretionary than automated. BTW good trading lately.

it's mechanical but manual for now. Slight variation of the algo but based on breakout.

Goal:
200k account trading 10-15 contracts aiming for around $5000/daily

Risk control and execution.

I think it's possible. I need to internalize this goal into my subconscious.
