Year results Year: 2025 Results Trades: 456 Wins: 156 Losses: 200 Yearly Total: -$332.46 Total (since start of Jan 2024): -$1119.11 What Worked: Early in the year pm on the AHPM runners, worked and showed profit, but time changed and didn’t see many of these or really had the time early pm to trade them, RCT showed a profit for the year with roughly 80 taken, FGDB was a small loss, but have high hopes for this, due to tracking FGDB from an early stage in the run, I kept seeing more and more 3DS, so have also started tracking these as well and have taken approx. 25 trades with a profit of $93 and includes taking one of my biggest hits of the year losses, in SNTG it doubled halted and was too slow after 1st halt, so took $66 loss on this, which is over 6x what my sl was, not stubbornness, just too slow, but learnt a lot in this loss and will remember it. What failed. FGDB, although was small loss on the year, this is what all my tracking was about, so it’s a big learning and curve and loss does put me off, but spurs me on to learn more, the oracle pattern was by far the worst and if I simply didn’t trade an oracle hit, it would be -$35 instead of -$332, now I am not saying the oracle is bad or blaming it, I took the trade and decided the ticker to trade, I clearly don’t know the more probable ones or have proper tracked this, so 2026 I will leave any trade based on an oracle entry, I attempted a few of the FGD patterns, so far not worked, but will also keep check of this pattern. What work have I done this year: I have literally given up drinking, box sets, series, movies, golf, any and I mean any free time, I am either going through my wl, studying past charts, studying the runners within my patterns. I attend every single webby possible and rewatch a lot of them, STT webbys every morning and most of the evenings, as well as Matts and monthly ones. I read when away from screens and walking too and from work all year, which is 10 hours walking per week I have stock podcasts on, currently half way through the Rizdom ones, after finishing steady trade, Wolfs and Investor underground series, the only time I don’t spend on the markets is when my little ones need me, hence why I no longer do anything else, I build my time around learning, I go to bed thinking about and wake up thinking about, its really the 1st year I have tracked and have improved that process through the year, collecting more data and after accessing it at the end of December I am changing and adding to data needed to collect, this was solely on FGDB and then 3DS near the end of the year, as I need to learn the nuances on when to enter and when not and the odds are more in my favour, as a lot were Soley bought simply because they went red/green and not based on support and resistance levels, which I currently feel I don’t trust myself yet, yet on numerous occasions this I have declined a trade simply because it is red only to see it bounce off the level I had drawn and then run from it, to only enter later, when I should have been selling, but by tracking and data I am slowly learning this, so this needs to be continued and fine tuned, What have I learnt: I feel like I have learnt so much but in the grand scheme of things, very little, but every day I am trying to learn a little more, whether its through a webby, podcast, book, charting or watching the market, I am open to learning and expanding my thought process, excel tracking I feel is a must for me and will help me get that bit better each time. What do I need to work hard on: Stock selection, more data I see the more I feel my stock selection will get better, knowing when 1 red or 2 red or 3 red days means the stock is now at a support level it can bounce from, instead of simply buying if its green or going green, same goes for 3DS, although these do seem go so far when they turn green, but you can still get swipes, so working on a stop loss under a key support zone. Overall Feeling on the year: This was my 2nd full year, the first year was deer in headlights, so much to absorb in content and just a total mess really, this 2nd year has been more structured with deer moments chucked in randomly when the brain strays, I feel I have learnt bucket loads this year, but these buckets wont fill a swimming pool that is slowly draining, so I keep having to fill them up and I do this with more screen time, charting and everything else, so thoughts on year, I might be down, but I done like 30% of the first year and am very happy with my progress, only me knows how hard I am trying, I will continue to try. Goal for next year: Number one goal, is to make the FGDB pattern my own, sure I will have some losses, lots of losses in fact, I need to embrace these losses, learn from them and nail the next one, until I am confident with the pattern, 2nd goal is the 3DS pattern, which links with the FGDB. So by the end of the 2026, I will now have a pattern I can go to war with.

Monthly results Month: December Results Trades: 20 Wins: 6 Losses: 14 Monthly Total: -$43.46 Yearly Total: -$332.26 What Worked: 1x RCT took all month and nailed it, 4x 3DS taken and won half. What failed. Struggled with the FGDB, 9 attempts and only 2 winners, 1 of which was tiny, took a few at the wrong entries. What work have I done this month: Still reading when free moments, read Atomic Habbits and re read best losers wins, show up to every Ellis, jack, Tims webbys, as well as all midnight madness and most of Bohens STT ones, log every chart and print out a chart and thesis to it, why worked or went wrong, the patterns I am trying to learn, I also do the same as if I took on trade and and how I could of executed the trade entry and exit. What have I learnt: 3DS are a very good pattern to trade alongside the FGDB, as often if the 3DS continues it can turn into a future FGDB. What do I need to work hard on: Reading my support and res lines, when they are often more of an area and when they are more of a price, as I have wrote plans and not executed due to fear of going lower, only to see it bounce off the exact support line I drew. Overall Feeling on the month: Its another loss month, but I feel I have added more to learning curve, even in losses I am learning, often it’s too early on the pattern to have gone it by 1 day or its too early in that day to trade it, I will work on this. Goal for next month: Basically more of the same, keep learning the FGDB & 3DS nuances and try and train my mind to keep away from the shiny objects, because even if don’t trade them, they can distract me from my current wl.

Do you feel your more comforting shorting now then going long now that you've reviewed 2025?

Not really. But needs to improve my longs especially when there is no otc’s anymore. I’m still making more on the long side but high win rate on shorting

Monthly results Month: November Results Trades: 19 Wins: 6 Losses: 13 Monthly Total: -$13.05 Yearly Total: -$289 What Worked: FGDB, only took 8 all month and only 2 worked, but this was still a profitable month for this pattern, also took 1x SGD which was a follow on the FGDB as still thought it had legs and that won also. What failed. AHPM took 1 trade lost, RCT took 4, 1 small winner, but that ended, as a loss month and 1x oracle, which is highly unsuccessful for me to take over the year stats, but think I am using oracle on a stock now, when I don’t see any entry and use that point as a way to get in when I have no proper plan, will track mental state of this, as very rare I use oracle. What work have I done this month: I have attended every webby from Ellis, Sykes and jack, all Bohens PMP, most of the Double downs, but with work sometimes miss some, mon-fr too and from work still on with riz podcasts, I have read books this month, The laws of trading and Atomic habbits and finished market wizards, I am writing in my trade diary every day, as well as tracking my setups, buys and misses and patterns as well as in excel, I am printing every chart of every trade I make, as well as trades of FGDB or 3DS I missed, then accessing a plan of why, how and when I could enter and exit on these as well as the trades I make or miss, so I have descriptions of each one, to help lock in, similar to how writing this, locks in what I have done this month and how I improve, I have shelf of folders now and at the end of each month I like to go through these and see how my plans and thoughts are changing. What have I learnt: I am learning that I am sacred to take certain entries in trades, these I have been printing to access why I refused to take the entry even so I had the plan actually wrote down and I do believe its just me being simply sacred of a ticker dropping hard, because I have been in some that have failed and that memory of 1 bad trade or 1 shocking drop, stays lodge there affecting my execution, so I believe they all will and this is affecting my execution, instead I should be looking at the bigger picture, that my gains will out way my losses, FGDB were not brilliant this month, but even so I took 8 and 6 were loses and only 2 were winners, but it was still profitable and tbf the 2 that were profitable were not big % gainers and I took the meat of move. What do I need to work hard on: Biggest thing by far is I NEED TO HAVE MORE FAITH IN MY PLAN, some will lose, that is enivitable, but if I am not taking them, I cant win either, every trade I take, I know my stop, so I know what my loss will be, so why be sacred, if it loses it loses, but I can’t refuse as many as I did in November, some turned out to be great runners, and just one of these great runners would of covered a many load of losers and I realise very trader has these entries they wished they took, but these hurt more because these are actual plans wrote down ready for execution and when the time came I talked myself out of them, so this is a note to myself, I WILL TAKE EVERY PLAN I WRITE DOWN IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER and then see at the end of the month where I am and re access then. Overall Feeling on the month: happy that I didn’t get destroyed in a choppy month, but also disappointed that I refused to take some great trades, although I also didn’t many crappy poor trades, but no data to back this up, only what plans I had and didn’t execute, so I seem to be tracking and watching the correct one, so its all the learning curve, 1% improvements at a time and feel these are happening, slowly and surely, I am more engaged and committed to this process, then I have ever been and passion is growing each month. 1% 1% 1% 1% add up. Goal for next month: To take every ticker plan I write down, if it goes to my plan entry point, time and not talk myself out of it, continue to track FGD & 3DS and really home in on this pattern.

Monthly results: Month: October 2025 Results Trades: 36 Wins: 10 Losses: 16 Winning %: 28 Monthly Total: +$10.42 Yearly Total: -$275.95 What Worked: 3DS & news trades, although only took 2x 3DS, both won, News plays also worked. What failed. FGDB, frustrating month for these, 20 trades I took and only 4 winners and 6 losses and -$55 for the month, but missed a few crackers, due to either taking from wl list early, or them gapping up and too sacred to play higher than the levels I planned. What work have I done this month: I have been to every webby, rewatched Ellis webbys, still listen to podcasts Mon-Fri too and from work as well as any free walking time, Listen to Bohen mostly twice everyday on DIT and his weekly summary and recaps, still reading as much as I can before bed or when free for a little while, finished the traders handbook, trader lion and now reading market wizards. Up early every morning to go through my watchlists and set trading plans for the day and watching markets, plans and stocks most of the day while at work and home, zero TV, if I am awake its time to learn, apart from some time needed to enjoy with the children, anytime can be study time. What have I learnt: I am still putting all my effort into FGDB, I have learnt there are numerous ways to enter these and I only really know 1 what that works for me at the moment, 3DS when available are great taking the r/g move, I still doubt myself when I have worked support & resistance levels, only to watch a thought out trade bounce off the support and get to the resistance, I feel this will only change with time and the more I trade these patterns, the more I will start to believe in myself. What do I need to work hard on: FGDB, that is my number one aim, to learn this pattern, I need to learn to enter when its gap up ah/pm and is above the r/g and doesn’t come back to r/g, how to enter as missed a few great % runners because of this. Overall Feeling on the month: Fairly happy, $$ I am not bothered about right now, I have taken a few sub par trades, but have either stuck to plan and took a small loss or got out earlier when not working, the more I see FGDB, the more I will learn and although I don’t believe there has been that many this month, the ones I have missed I am learning from and learning and plotting how I could of executed the buy and sell and worked out future plans if I see this again. Goal for next month: Hit more FGDB, take a FGDB that has actually gapped up and then trusted either pm hod break for entry or the pull back to support for entry, more confidence is needed in these, but I feel this will come with more practice, so my goal is too practice more on FGDB.
