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.

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.
