The author's initial goal was to achieve $10,000 profit during the current 31-trade small account challenge.
"my initial goal for these 31 trades was that if all things were the same, I would make 1/6th of the profit that I made during the first leg of the small account challenge. Now, during that leg of the challenge, the account grew up to about $60,000. So, one sixth would be $10,000."
