How I Made $23,387 in 8 Days With Just A $2k Account

Howdy.

I’m Kyle, and in this write-up, I’ll show you exactly how I made $23k in less than 2 weeks by leveraging a single trading strategy and without using a large trading account.

If you have been trying to turn an income from trading a “smaller” account…

But you just haven’t been able to crack the $10k/month mark, pay very close attention to what you are about to read.

This write-up could be the very thing you were seeking all this time and now you finally have your hands on it, so don’t waste the opportunity.

I can guarantee that if you focus and just follow what I will explain in this doc step-by-step, you’ll be able to replicate what I’m doing and you will make at least $10k/mo by yourself.

Let me be extremely clear though. The process I will outline and explain in this document can only be replicated if you are committed to making this happen and understand the risks involved with trading. Remember that whatever you put into your trading account can be lost if you don’t know what you’re doing.

That being said, this document will be short and sweet as I want to explain the process I followed in the most simple and digestible way possible.

Now let's jump into this.

First, let me show you proof of the initial claim.

So you can confirm I actually did those numbers in the time frame I’m saying 👇

Tradovate Dashboard - Proof of Profitability

The image above is a screenshot taken directly from my Tradovate account from January 25th - February 26th, 2023.

As you can see, $22,604.64 was collected in 9 trading days, or a little under 2 weeks.

More importantly, I did it by consistently building the account - NO homerun trades, NO outsized losers. This is clearly visible in the “P&L History” on the screenshot above.

Tradovate Dashboard - Proof of “Small Account” Starting Point

The image above is another screenshot taken directly from my Tradovate account, showing the account value was $2,799.88 on January 24, 2023.

Now that we got that out of the way, let me tell you who this write-up is for:

  • If you’re looking to make a consistent income through intraday trading

  • If you have a passion for trading or financial markets

  • If you are a trader who has not yet found consistency

Now let me tell you who this write-up is NOT for:

  • If you want to figure out everything on your own and take 20x the time, effort, and money

  • If you’re looking to get rich quick or make “quick money” in the stock market

  • If you don’t want to learn a strategy and you’re more interested in gambling

  • If you prefer complexity over simplicity

Now here’s the truth…

Anyone can become profitable with a high-probability trading strategy like the one I have developed.

However, very few people are actually doing it.

What you usually see in the trading space is “gurus” flashing their profitable days, but not their executions.

This type of posting gets engagement, so I understand why they do it - But the problem is, that it doesn’t teach anyone anything.

The guru is banking on a lifetime of leeches who aren’t interested in learning how to trade, they are interested in following.

You don’t need to follow anyone.

You just need the right system and a deep understanding of how to trade it.

I don’t know about you, but I would much rather be the guy who has a strategy and knows how to use it to regularly extract profit from the market - Rather than having to rely on someone else for “alerts” to chase.

In case you don’t know me, my name is Kyle Janas and I have been trading profitably for nearly a decade.

I have tried EVERYTHING.

I started with biotech stocks (essentially gambling), then options through earnings (more gambling), then developed an intraday options strategy that regularly net me $30k/mo, and now I primarily trade futures and stocks in play (with options).

After trying a handful of different market approaches, and a couple of blow-ups along the way…

I can tell you that nothing comes close to futures trading with a very simple strategy.

This particular model is the most overpowered of them all - Especially if you’re like me and you value freedom.

More often than not, this model allows me to hit my daily profit goal within the first 90 minutes of the trading day - And some days, the goal is hit in even less time than that.

Beautiful, isn’t it?

Trading with this model is like owning a business that, with prep and review time, can be run in just two hours a day.

Honestly, it took me almost a decade to REALLY figure it all out and finally “crack the code.”


But I did.

And I don’t see anyone else out there explaining how to do this in a simple way, with this level of detail.

I will break down ALL of the processes I used to make $23,387 in 9 trading days using a small, sub $3k account.

Nothing is held back, I will outline everything on this doc so that you can replicate the formula for yourself and hopefully apply every single step to scale your trading to at least $10k/month in profit over the next few months.

Let’s begin.

Step 1 - Building a Profitable Strategy

The strategy, if crafted correctly, will do all of the heavy lifting for you.

It’s the first piece of the puzzle that will determine how easy or hard everything that follows will be.

Many online gurus will tell you that trading emotions and psychology are the most important thing.

Let me tell you that no amount of psychology will make you a profitable trader if you do not have an edge.

The better your strategy, the easier it will be to master psychology.

The goal here is to create a strategy that is easy to identify intraday, happens frequently (more than once per day ideally), offers a clear confirmation of your thesis, and has a minimum R-multiple (reward:risk) of at least 2. That means that for every 1 point of risk, you have potentially 2 points of gain.

Simple right?

The strategy should be optimized with a setup that is based on a pullback in price as the screenshot below shows - In fact, this is the exact trade setup that I used to scale my $2k account to $23k in 9 trading days. I’ll explain more of this in step 2.

Example of an Entry and 3:1 R:R Trade

Step 2 - Risk Management and Capital Allocation

How you manage your risk will determine whether or not you’ll be successful with this approach, and broadly speaking, trading in general. As I mentioned in Step 1, having a setup that is based on a pullback makes your process easier.

More importantly, from a risk management perspective, it is a superior strategy that allows you to QUICKLY establish your R-multiple. Remember, you need a minimum of 2R before putting on the trade.

Now we need to talk about capital allocation.

New and developing traders repeatedly make the same mistake.

They put too much size into a trade, relative to their account size.

When I grew the $2k account, I was trading just 1 ES contract at a time. As the account grew, I would sometimes trade 2 ES contracts - But I NEVER went beyond that.

This means that if I took a couple of consecutive losses - Even though this was extremely unlikely due to a high hit rate - I would still have my seat at the table. Meaning I would still be able to trade the next day.

Step 3 - Continuous Learning and Adaptation

This is what ties everything together and keeps your progress moving forward: Trade review and journaling.

For some reason, many traders are afraid of it. They neglect this crucial key to growth.

If 20-30 minutes of review per day meant you could potentially make more money tomorrow, would you do it?

I know I sure would… That is why even with almost a decade of trading experience, I continue to review my trades and my actions daily.

Your trade review does not need to be fancy. You can build out a simple template in a Google Sheet like the one screenshotted below.

Example of a Trade Log

The main goal here is to identify any REPEAT ERRORS in your behavior. Are you deviating from the strategy? Did you make a mistake? Document everything.

This practice is ridiculously effective if executed correctly.

In fact, it’s SO effective, I would argue it is the only tool you need to really scale your trading in 7+ figure years (once you have a winning strategy of course).

That's about it.

Here is a recap of everything we have discussed so far…

If you:

  • Build a winning strategy (with an edge)

  • Manage risk and capital allocation like a professional and not a degenerate

  • AND review every single trade, every single day

Making AT LEAST $10k/mo is GUARANTEED.

So What Now?

Now that you understand exactly how I made $23,387 in 9 trading days and what my process looks like…

You have a few options:

Option 1:

You can continue doing what you have been doing until now and keep getting the same results that you have been getting.

Because you and I both know that if you keep doing the same things, you will continue getting the same results.

So… How much longer can you go without seeing the results that you want?

Option 2:

You can apply these frameworks and systems yourself to get similar results to what I showed here - But obviously there are still various nuances, and roadblocks you’ll undoubtedly encounter.

There are many small details I couldn’t cover here because this document would end up being too long, and many depend on YOUR individual trading circumstances.

Option 3:

This is going to be the best option for most people. You can sign up for the Two Hour Trader course to learn the EXACT “easy money” framework I used, including every specific detail.

The Two Hour Trader will give you detailed examples of what to look for (it's the exact strategy I personally use, and the first strategy I teach to every one-on-one trading client). This is the framework I used to turn the $2k into $23,387, and it's the same framework I used to pass multiple prop firm challenges with both Topstep and Apex.

When you pair your Two Hour Trader purchase with a Trader’s Thinktank subscription, you’ll have direct access to DM me with questions during the trading day - And the exact formula that so many of my clients are using to extract money from the market on a daily basis.

The training is less than an hour long so you can get through it and start implementing as soon as tomorrow.

Guarantee: If you’re unable to produce break-even or better results following this exact Two Hour Trader framework with 60 days of documented trades, I will refund the cost of the course or meet with you via Zoom to discuss any roadblocks.

Option 4:

You can work directly with me to get your hand held through the entire process and not do it on your own. This is how I can guarantee that you will be hitting (or I will continue working with you until you do).

Plus, you will get a bulletproof step-by-step system (tailored to your lifestyle and personality type) that will allow you to continue with consistent profits.

But this option is only for you if:

  • You understand trading is not a get-rich-quick scheme and requires real work like any other profession

  • You seek true financial, location, and time freedom

  • You want to see real results and don’t want to waste your time trying hundreds of different things that don’t really work

Again, the goal is for you to launch your “trading business” the right way and without the years of trial and error to be making AT LEAST $10,000/mo.

This is a 24+ week program that includes all of my training material and modules, regular calls to discuss strategy design and implementation, as well as reviewing trades together to make sure concepts are being fully understood and applied.

Note: Option 4 is through an application process as not all are qualified. You can click here to apply and then we can schedule a call.

With this option, I guarantee you will develop profitability or I will continue to work with you until you do.
