At best you are betting US$250,000 and in 7 months, this year, you are up US$30,000 or US$4, 800 per month or a 12% profit.
At worst you are betting US$1,250,000 and in 7 months, this year, you are up US$30,000 or US$4, 800 per month or 2.5% profit.

And thus possibly half the US$30,000 "profit" you have made.
I'm positive that I would not risk US$1,250,000 for a possible 1.25% profit for 7 months risk. Or possibly your "research" only allows you to actually risk you money between 12:01AM midnight on a Sunday to 6:00AM when the markets are lower volume.
But maths was never my strength.
