Monthly results Month: August Trades: 17 Wins: 6 Losses: 11 Monthly Total: +$63.93 Yearly Total: +$196.30 Month feeling: Started good with some nice wins on the board, but then the multi day trades I am tracking and liking dried up and got tough and I feel I took a few sub par trades due to being on the sidelines so long and wanting to get in the reps. What Worked: FGDB only had 2 trades and 1 worked and was the best trade of the month and the SGD worg worked well only 4 trades taken and 3 were winners. What failed. 3DS failed, had 9 in total with only 2 winners and a few of the losers I did cut earlier than plan as they looked weak and I believe in general this pattern like the FGDB is tricky at the moment, but the 3DS has a lot more tough low volume versions, that can hurt you if you get wrong. Best Trade: $DFNS FGDB 26%, had tracked this and rated its chance was B and it certainly was, it had gapped up in pm and I left it alone, but watched, it then came back all the way and went red, but didn’t die off and reclaimed green and held, so on the hold I entered and sold shortly after into 26% spike, happy with the read, entry and even so this did later go to 100+% it did dip hard and I took a nice profit quickly. Worst Trade: $FGI 3DS -16%, this was awful for a few reasons and now has made me setup a new rule, this was similar to my very poor RECT trade that set me back months and I should of learnt from, this was a very low volume 3DS on the open, the volume had not increased enough for open, yet I still decided to enter this on an ORB, but it was so low volume ORB that this was a fomo gamble, with a couple of minutes it red daggered and through blew through my sl and halted and didnt execute it, it should have been a 6% loss by design, but ended up being a 16% due to not being able to sell until it opened, this I hope is another lesson to me that sticks on low volume 3DS with ORB as entry on the ID open. What work have I done this month: Still listening to Podcasts too and from work, approx. 5+ hours were week, at the moment on B the trader, watch every Sykes new vid lesson and attend all the webbys from Jack, Sykes and now scotty and Rocky (As Ellis no longer a mentor) I feel I learnt a lot from his webbys and it started me on the road to looking at multiday setups instead of the shiny one day runners, Thanks Ellis. I also attend every Bohen PMP and because of time some of the DD, I rarely get chance to watch Caleb these days, but do try to watch or Listen to Byrce, I am tracking my 2 main patterns FGDB and 3DS and also trying to learn the SGD as it can come before the 3DS and FGDB but these have been quieter and I am eager learn more and more, also reading more on the dilution aspects of the stocks I’m trading and trying to understand where the danger points are, still read every night before bed, basically my free time is spending time with fam or learning more and I will continue to do so, also made a few new scanners, one is a scanner I have also built into a tracker for so we will see how this gets on the SGD. What have I learnt: I am always best trading on pre thought out tickers with clear trade plans, whenever I jump into a stock or change the plan there and then it ends badly, however if it’s a pre thought plan or a plan that I then think about and change and then execute, it works way better. What do I need to work hard on: To be honest I am always working hard on my patterns and tracking and trying to see patterns within the pattern, so I feel at this very moment I need to keep doing what I am doing and the more trades I enter and even miss, then learn from the more I will learn, so I will continue to do what I am doing, while im improving it and streamlining it. Overall Feeling on the month: Started great, then faded and got tough, no doubt its been a choppy market and considering my strike rate this month was 35% and it still in the green, then this says my winners are a lot better than losers, but it did feel like a scrap to the end. Goal for next month: Continue with what I am trading and learning from and maybe try catch more SGD but not at the expense of 3DS or FGDB, I just simply need more seat time to learn these patterns intricacies.

Monthly results Month: July 2026 Trades: 9 Wins: 5 Losses: 4 Monthly Total: +$25.42 Yearly Total: + $132.34 Month feeling: Been I believe my most quiet month for trading since I started 2.5 years ago and this wasn’t due to personal holiday, but I believe my setups that I am tracking were just not playing, and i will never catch them all in any month, but even so, only 9 trades this month, I only feel I missed a few good setups, the trades I did take I am happy with, apart from a couple, but zero random trades taken, which I think is a first for a month and a massive improvement. What Worked: 1x SGD worg with 1x win, wasn’t many about that setup at the right time of day for me and 3DS which was 2 from 2, but only small wins and even if nailed the 2 I took, not a lot of meat of the bone. What failed. Took 1 RCT and failed, others were available and worked, but had my main patterns I was mainly concentrating on, so this is only a pattern I take occasionally, however FGDB I took 5x and won twice and lost 3x, 1x I shouldn’t of even entered due to lack of volume and another I needed to heed to level 2 warning and took a 3x loss due to this, as shot through sl and even the 2x FGDB that worked only worked small and this pattern certainly had a month off, as didn’t even miss any good ones, which says it all, certainly not been a month for multi day runners, plus many sketchy Chinese tickers popping off and these certainly don’t play by the playbook, Best Trade: was $LVWR for SGD worg + 17%, this had been low volume pm, but had started to perk and sat under r/g before the 7am, so bought a little early in anticipation of the 7am spike and this trade never looked back and never went red, sold part before open as wanted to lock in and didn’t trust open, so when opened had finger on the trigger and sold quite quickly as had big spike quickly, which was just under my 2nd goal, but it moved so quickly, I wanted to lock in, it ended up not only hitting my target but went 140% from my entry, so plenty of meat on the bone, so a lot to work on, but was in the correct stock. Worst Trade: ADVB for FGDB -7% this was not my worst loss percent wise (that was -13%, sl shot through trade) but the reason ADVB was on is simply because it’s a trade that should never ever be taken, it had traded 25k and was 40mins into market open, yep 25k, what the hell was I thinking, this was never ever a trade and I hope I never ever take this trade ever again, the only positive is after 40mins ish, I decided I couldn’t get out break even or small win even so price was around here, the split and lack of liquidity meant if I simply got out on the bid it would be a loss and to avoid a massive loss, which I have experienced in the past with RECT due to low liquidity, I took a 7% loss on it, rather than take the risk and have another head wrecking 43% loss What work have I done this month: watched live every PMP with Bohen, occasional DD, but every Bohen Sunday night and weekday recording & Midnight madness, watched live all the webbys, with Sykes, Ellis and Jack, journalling every night via Claude and now I go through my watchlist in my journal as to why or why not a trade was taken, every trade tracked and plotted, setups in my playbook also tracked and plotted with charts and printed, still reading every chance I can get and walks too and from work podcasts, at the moment listening to B the Trader. What have I learnt: The market environment has affected small caps so much this month I have felt and certainly feels like a change, however due to small caps nature there will always be opportunity’s, I am releasing I don’t want to split myself too thin and be a jack of all trades and by not doing random first day setups it will help me to learn my playbook setups better, this can be hard to manage mentally, but do feel this is coming on with only trading 9 times and if I took everything in my playbook then maybe this number would of only increased to 14 anyways What do I need to work hard on: Learning my playbook 3DS and FGDB (hard when none about) but I want to be ready for when they come back round and 3DS I have so much to learn, especially regarding liquidity on these as often they get called low liquidity plays as it crosses over, also major rule change in the sec for $5 million market caps to be maintained above and if not 30 days and your gone, unlike in the past with 180 days to comply and then extension after extension, this feels like could be a new playbook, where more reverse splits and instead of pump and dumps, its pumps and maintains, but could also be more pumps and die and then they join Hirtz in OTC land, which will be great for him or could be something completely else, so I will monitor for now, as this is only my thoughts and I am open to seeing how these will play out and if I don’t see a pattern to trade so be it. So much of the same work really for the next month and keep working on my playbook niches and be ready.

Monthly results Month: June Trades: 23 Wins: 10 Losses: 13 Monthly Total: +$94.94 Yearly Total: $106.92 Month feeling: It was a strange month, big caps were breaking out and hitting new highs, but small caps had plenty of 1 day runners, as for multi day runners so poor, I havent got a pattern for 1 dayers yet, I can’t split myself to thin, so I was very limited this month and avoided temptation to play new patterns I was not tracking, so didn’t trade much and felt when I did a lot were poorer types and even so I still ended in the green and sadly missed a few great runners, that I simply misread. What Worked: FGDB has 6 trades, 2 wins and 4 losses, so these worked but they just was not many about, same goes for 3DS with 4 wins and 5 losses and just a couple of SGD worgs which I still count in my random group as not got a proper playbook for these as yet. What failed. Basically multi day runners were so rare this month, it led to not many of the FGDB or 3DS or even SGD worgs, so nothing from my playbook really worked this month. Best Trade: NAMM, SGD worg, $46 +23%, recognised a big order sat on the bid, while it consolidated for 1 hour, right before 8am, risk was only 3c, wasn’t actually green yet, this was quite a good few positives ticking boxed and the best part the r/r was great so was worth the early entry and it was easily at 1/10 trade and worked like the best do and with me from the get go. Worst Trade: CRVO, 3DS, -$19, -9%, had a plan for this as was on wl, but was already in another trade, seen this spiked and jumped in, literally up and then way down, so just cut losses quickly and took double the loss as fell that quick, but basically, I sold the bottom of the run, if I had not of panicked or even simply waited for a better entry and accessed the tickers action, I would have had a very nice winner as had a great spike after. What work have I done this month: Been to every Bohen pmp, some Bohen dd, some Bryce & Kaleb but every Midnight madness, all the challenge webinars, also Roland Wolf was on live for a week, which was interesting to hear how he literally never buys high and is quite a contrast from Sykes, although “cut losses quickly” is still with him and me and I have not problem ever cutting when they sl is hit, back listening to a traders journey too and from work so 5 hours a week minimum of podcasts, also every night, I got through my watchlist and trades for the day and print and analyse and journal, as well on a Saturday morning, getting up very early to spend at 3-4 hours going through the weeks trades I made and missed and to see how I could of traded better still from my analysing or how I could of entered ones I missed, also doing more detailed tracking on FGDB and 3DS patterns, although I am taking the odd SGD worg, I am not tracking these yet as I don’t want to spread myself to thinly, also still reading plenty, as they help me get to sleep, so I am thinking of trading from when I get up to I go to bed. What have I learnt: Each month, I feel I have learnt so much more than the last month, but always feel its like a drop in the ocean, I have learnt claude is going to be integral now in my journey, both as a journal and playbook maker, as it helps so much with quickly making the stats for my patterns, I feel my pattern recognition is getting better, but on the 3DS pattern I feel I need a point that I always need to enter at, if the ticker is at least a B setup on my tracker, as I did miss a couple as they simple looked weak, only to turn out very strong, but the start if I took an entry at the point, even so volume was very low, it felt more like a leap of faith, so I need to data to back up my entries, so I will learn more on this and maybe have a few new columns in my excel spreadsheets for these. What do I need to work hard on: I feel I need to work on entries and exits, but also know its been slim pickings on these patterns this month, so I can’t be too hard on myself. Goal for next month: Hoping next month there are more FGDB and 3DS to get my teeth into, as I love learning and just want you learn everything I can regarding tracking and planning for these patterns, but I learn so much more seeing and tracking these real time, so hopeful more will come and if not I will try to follow this months way and keep away from 1 day runners I have no plan for and just trade from my playbook.

Monthly results Month: May Trades: 17 Wins: 4 Losses: 13 Monthly Total: +$20.63 Yearly Total: +$11.68 What Worked: FGDB worked was not many about, but the few that were, worked nice and missed a couple of crackers and ran at like 5-1 r/r What failed: Random setups, I took more a few versions this month and all failed, baring a SGD continuation Best Trade: MTVA for a FGDB, after being ready and confident in my support level, this one of the few times I was actually confident in my support level so bought even so red and turned out nicely, locking in a little early simply because it was 27% profit, higher profit target would have been reached, but I was in a drawdown, so it was good to bounce back. Worst Trade: HCWB, simply because I didn’t have a named pattern, I still had entry, sl and target, but not a why it should and simply lost 5% on a quick entry. What work have I done this month: watched every webby and pmp with Bohen, still listening to podcasts on too and from work, completed all of Rizdom, so now back to traders journey, from last may, still recording every trade after on a chart on for why and what I could do better and still journaling everyday although now incorporated it with Claude AI and been playing about looking at my stats of how I trade, still need more data though, watched every lesson vid, Weather wise been a cracker for UK, so spent a little time more with fam, so missed many a double down and not seen any of Calebs. What have I learnt: I still have a lot to learn, 3DS were pretty much not even a thing this month, which is ok as FGDB and SGD worg were, so I have learnt you do need more than 1 playbook, as you cant just have a month off when learning, also on the FGDB I still have so much to learn and I do feel some complete the FGDB in a day also, so I need to watch if a stock is capable of this in the same day, also SGD worg/SGD con has seemed strong this month and this is not a bad pattern to take as then it also on my radar early for 3DS and FGDB, each month I am learning a little more, while still hungry to learn more, so I have learnt I need to keep being hungry to improve. What do I need to work hard on: Tracking results, I still feel I could track more, I have played about with claude so have setup up with python so I can play about will pulling data from my broker, so this could help with tracking, also I need a better alert system, as I use 2 different setups, 1 at work which is morning and early afternoon and then home setup for later afternoon and evenings, so I do miss a stock im watching that hits a level later in the day, also this is my attention as well, I do feel I have missed stocks this month, that I could of and should of took. Overall Feeling on the month: To be honest still felt like a hangover month still from the RECT disaster, its not the money, its more what it did to my stats, but slowly moving on lol, this month squeezes have been shooting off galore and been tempted to change patterns and chase, as these are massive on % moves, but generally resisted apart from the few losers I did try. Goal for next month: Take more trades I have plans for, I do trade plan sheet every night or morning ready, and some change and some I add or delete from it, but I do tend to not take as many as setup, sometimes because I don’t like level 2 and it turns out would of worked perfect or I simply miss as my eyes are elsewhere, so I need to narrow my focus down to my trade sheet.
