Monthly results Month: August Results Trades: 38 Wins: 14 Losses: 24 Monthly Total: -$35.52 Yearly Total: - $280.88 What Worked: Only managed 2x RCT this month, both were winners, 3DS worked well and were the best pattern I traded. What failed: Random trades every now and again I still need to stop, as these are not profitable in the monthly figures, same goes for the tickers that I am tracking but jump in too quick, FGDB were a loss this month winning only 40% but managing to get in on the poor ones and missing the few which were great runners, which I had plans made out for and either hesitated not getting into the trade or not adjusting the trade after pm action, changed the dynamics, in other words, my entry price was too low, biggest loss percentage wise 22% on my only attempt of the AHRG on OPAD, which I seen the Level 2 stack up to get out for 4% loss, but fumbled my click and changed screens and by then it was too late, so cut losses as quick as I could, but the damage was done and take that one mistake out and it was breakeven month. What work have I done this month: I have added tracking the 3DS pattern, as this is also a good one to go side by side with FGDB, so by tracking them both, it helps both patters and tracking 3DS also helps me not miss a FGDB. I still walk to work mon to fri say I have 1 hr podcast everyday stock related and get to the live webbys, as well as watch the lessons, TBH PMP & DDB, have read think like a monk and the mental game, as well as still reading the playbook and have started Laws of trading, every free moment, I am trying to gain knowledge as well screen time. What have I learnt: I have learnt more reads on L2/combined with volume/candlesticks for seeing when a stock is topping out. What do I need to work hard on: I need to work harder on my tracking to get the executions at the correct support levels, so not only will this increase my winning and catching the good runners, but also reduce the losses, also I need to work on seeing and reading when a stock is simply pulling back and when it selling off, some stocks I miss and if so I only seem to buy the pullbacks on the ones that go down further and the ones that pull back and then continue I don’t go, so I need to look into this further, I believe this is down to the ones that go further on the pullback, I think in my head I am chasing and don’t want to chase, but am I chasing if its pulling back to support !!! Overall: Its another loss month and although there are plenty of negatives, like missing great 3DS and the best FGDB, I still feel in my losses I am learning a ton, for example on stocks not to buy and the signals when in a stock that its topping or not going to get much further, although I feel im learning ton, it still feels like I know not much, but I will continue to put in the work everyday, I have my size down to $200 a trade and I try for 3-5% risk, but this very much depends on the where the support is at, as this is what I like, but don’t always get. I am happy that I have zero stubbornness while in a trade and if it goes to my stop I cut it simples, so I only lose what I planned to lose (apart from the mouse fumble trade) but accidents happen, so looking forward to continue learning and progress and progress is not my profit and loss, I have got past that now, I would simply like to see my progress of picking the correct stocks and correct levels at the correct time, to happen more times than not, then and only then can I start to see movement in the right direction on p&l.

My plan for GXAI was the 3DS pattern, buy if close to r/g at $1.90 on open, stop loss was $1.75 (just below r/g) with profit target 1 was $2.40 ish and target to was in the 2.80s. 1st mistake: Instead of waiting for this, I firstly panicked at PM open and buying on a big 5min red candle at $1.91 at 4.30am, only to watch this trade instantly be poor and fall back to my stop loss of $1.75, with it actually hitting the bottom at $1.72, just above the support level of the $1.70. Failure 1, due to not to not following initial plan and waiting for Intra day. 2nd Mistake: Instead of again waiting for plan. I decided to set at stop limit buy at $2.10 with a stop loss of $1.98, this was executed in the first few minutes of the market open and was stopped out 2 mins later, only for it to go higher. If I had of executed my original plan of $1.90 buy, I would of made my first profit target of $2.40 ish, now I’m not saying I would of reached the 2nd target, as I may of sold it all in the $2.40s when it got through and failed the $2.40 level on 3x 5min candles. So it was 2 loss trades that were not my plan, when it should have been my plan had I executed like I had wrote, it would have been a win, so this is not bad luck, wrong stock or any other excuse, this was mean all me, my brain, it the mental side of trading, I am putting this out there for my own head space, to recognise my fault and this is the turning point (my penny drop moment). There was also a 2nd trade on this as well, as it didn’t die mid day like so many of these do, and when it did a higher low, was a signal, then when reclaimed vwap just above the $2.20 support, this was but around $2.25-2.30 level and would have been able to sell into profit target 2.

Monthly results Month: July Results Trades: 39 Wins: 11 Losses: 28 Profit: - $75.44 2025 Total: -$245.36 What Worked: FGDB, although stats are 39x trades, 11 Wins and 28 loses, this was a profit of $20.23 What failed: All other patterns, although some only played a couple of, why didn’t they work, because of I don’t know them well enough and I am trying to spread my knowledge to thinly. What work have I done this month: Trying to better understand the FGDB pattern and taking more of these, even if I am not certain, I would rather they fail and I learn, as I don’t know what I don’t know and if I am in a trade, I see more on the L2 and the candlesticks, than just watching, although I do try to watch ones I may have missed. I still listen to podcasts too and from work everyday and read in any free time when markets are closed or I am in bed, I read this month, Mastering the mental game, I read again for the 2nd time, and am currently reading how to be a monk and the playbook. I am still watching every vid lesson and webby and if I don’t catch a webby live I will rewatch and often AOW webbys twice, Learning since I was a child seems to take me a bit until its in there, so I like to rewatch and reread to lodge it, everything I can do and every piece of spare time I have, I am trying to soak up market info and get the reps in, I want this and although some days feel like a you are booted to the ground with a thud I am getting back up and seeing why and why and why again and working out what I did wrong and how I can get better and improve, I am trying to learn and improve each day. What did I do this month: I have tracked every trade taken, and printed the chart and wrote a report, I am now also printing for the FGDB the 5min 2day, 15min 10 day and day chart, to try better understand this pattern. What do I need to work hard on: Concentrate on the FGDB still more laser focus, I have still missed a few really good FGDB that were on my watchlist and I got distracted whether it be from a new podcast regarding gappers or the shiny object, trading what I am not learning and losing instead of learning more of the patter, I WILL TRY HARDER TO STAY FOCUSED ON FGDB that is my goal, I will also in pre still look for the RCT and if I am around after hours the AHRG move, as that suits my personality I feel. Overall: Even so its another loss month, I feel like I learning more each day and month by month I feel this knowledge growing, the losses I have are acceptable and are at a low percentage and amount, so it wont break, every single trade I cut at my risk and never once doubled up on a loss or moved risk lower, so risks were maybe too wide, but that’s work in progress, I do feel if I solely work on concentration of the select FGDB tickers for a while I will improve on this pattern, so this my goal for the foreseeable future.

Month: June Results Trades: 27 Wins: 13 Losses: 14 Profit: -$50.33 2025 Total: What Worked: AHRG worked 3 from 3, FGDB worked, but I messed up big time and over sized by accident by 7.5 x which led to a 7.5x loss, as because of this it affected by FGDB results as well as my monthly results, just this one mistake taken out, I would have been up on the month. What failed: Concentration failed on over sizing by accident twice, once by 7.5x and another by 1.5x, only 1 stock I traded had no real plan and I think that’s a first for a month. What work have I done this month: Watched every live webby and any missed watched on reply and some webbys especially Ellis’s I have watched live and rewatched also. Still the 30 min walk to work and 30min walk home from work Monday to Friday I listen to trading podcasts. I have a load of books when away from screens. Books read: The talent Code – Daniel Coyle How to trade stocks – Jesse Livermore Mastering the mental game of trading Trading in the zone Best loser wins, for the 2nd time And currently reading the Playbook by Mike Bellafore Watched up to 64 of Lentos past webbys, which are good for seeing old trades by some epic traders, who were in the middle of there process. I am filling in my journal every night and make summaries at the end of the week, what I have learnt and what I can do better, this is where I decided to not only print our the trades I had done and how they could be improved, but also print out trades I missed and how I could of traded them and the trade of the day, I wake up thinking of getting better at trading and go to sleep, thinking how I could of traded and what I need to do. What did I do this month: Keep at the process and limit my trades and don’t take them for the sake of it, take them because I think they going to work, if they don’t or I feel different once in, exit the trade, I need to not be afraid of the trade itself or the outcome, my stats tell me the winning percent gain is far more than the losing percent gain, so I just need to keep building the stats and accessing each month, but trying many different patterns at once, doesn’t work and need to concentrate on a core. What do I need to work hard on: I need to work on my understanding of the FGDB, RCT and the AHRG, watched DonJuan for many months and trying to understand his trading on the AHRG and making this pattern my own, so far just the 3 trades on this and 3 winners and turned down quite a few trades that didn’t fit the my criteria and they did fail, missed a couple but they felt more like chases if I had got in, so will re access these, when I have more data. Overall: It may be a losing month, but overall on the month, I am happy with progress, I have had a few trades I have exited due to L2 reading and exited beautifully, I know I would be up on the month if not for a very dumb mistake, but the money right now is not my concern, I want to stay in the game and build a process I can take forward, profits will follow once I build a solid foundation, so no rush, I think the hardest part is avoiding the spike plays especially after Tims messages, it gets so tempting to look at a new pattern, but for now at least I am resisting and sticking to these select patterns.

May Monthly results Trades: 43 Wins: 14 Losses: 29 Profit: Loss -$64.89 2025 Total: -$119.59 What Worked: Only profitable pattern that worked this month was FGDB and missed quite a few great ones as well. What failed: RCT, didn’t take many and missed the good ones, AHPM were poor and then random setups costing me again. What work have I done this month: Attending every webby and any I missed or really liked watching again, going through Lentos webbys and watching trading tickers again, monitoring all FGDB and printing charts and plotting what would have been good entries and exits, I have had a few silly trades this month, which have cost me, which I need to work on. I am still reading every night before sleep to help with mindset and am still listening to podcasts every morning and night, too and from work and have just finished all investors underground ones, which we were great and I have now started Words of Rizdom. What did I do this month: Keep tracking FGDB I am taking as well as ones I am missing, I need to carry on with this, so I keep better understanding this patter, because if I had only played this one pattern this year I would be in the green. What do I need to work hard on: I need to better understand the FGD and understand when to stick to a plan I made on entries and exits and when to change due to being strong before the levels I need, as I feel I missed out on some good runners, which were only slightly above my entries and I didn’t change my entries for this, so learning when its discipline and when the trade plan was actually wrong in the first place. Overall: I am fairly happy with the month, it may have been a loss, but it the FGDB was in profit and I feel I am learning more regarding this pattern, month on month and am continuing to work hard on this, I’m now 18 months and do understand its still only a very little I know and so much I don’t, so I will and am continuing to work hard on this.
