September 14th: The Day We Turned the System Loose

We’d been trading in the dark for long enough. No Discord therapy. No Instagram flexes. Just our capital, our system, and a few savage testers who followed instructions like adults. We didn’t go public. Not then. But this was the moment SAF2 stopped being internal.


BEFORE SAF2: MORE TRADES, MORE CHAOS

Back then? We were throwing 90+ trades a day at the wall.
Multiple strategies duct-taped together. High win rates. Pathetic RR.
Manual management that felt like juggling steak knives blindfolded.

Yes, it made money.
But it drained sanity.
Every win felt like we dodged death by spreadsheet.

So we took a step back.
Built structure. Gave it a name.

SAF.


SAF1: THE SYSTEM THAT MADE US — AND NEARLY BROKE US

SAF1 was our first attempt at order.
It wasn’t scalable. It wasn’t polished.
But it was the realest thing we’d built.

We ran it across 3 exchanges, day after day, for 10 months.
It bled. It printed. It nearly nuked us a few times.

Here's what it looked like:

SAF1 PERFORMANCE BREAKDOWN

TOTAL TRADES
2683
WINNING TRADES
878
LOSING TRADES
1805
WIN RATE

AVERAGE R:R

TOTAL PnL
+19,456.01 USDT
TOTAL PnL (%)
+583.07%
MAX DRAWDOWN
–65.46%

WHAT WORKED:

  • ✅ Trades followed real logic
  • ✅ Big R multiples carried the month
  • ✅ Win rate didn’t matter — the edge was in the math
  • ✅ Survived a dozen market shifts

WHAT DIDN’T:

  • ❌ Overtrading garbage setups
  • ❌ Needed constant hand-holding
  • ❌ Brutal drawdowns (–65% isn't cute)
  • ❌ No room to walk away or breathe

We stayed alive with it — but barely.

It forced us to get better.


SAF2: BUILT UNDER PRESSURE, NOT PROMO

SAF2 didn’t launch with fireworks. It launched with pressure — from real trades, real capital, and real consequences. We didn’t tweak it for optics. We tweaked it because our own money was on the line. Then we handed it off to a few outside traders with one instruction: survive.
