Monthly results Month: Febuary Trades: 14 Wins: 7 Losses: 7 Monthly Total: + $16.30 Yearly Total: +$16.30 What Worked: FGD 2 of 3 worked, 3DS 2 of 3 worked, SGB worg had 5 attempts, with 3 winners and 2 losers, 1 being biggest loser of month and year and was a trade I that really costs me massive slippage. What failed: Random setups I am still playing and did 2x or really 4x as 2 I named weren’t really what I named them, if I cut these out and concentrate on actual patterns it would feel a better month. Best trade: XWEL +15%, pattern 3DS, entered after small loss earlier and executed well and seen selling off. Worst trade: KNRX -16% SGB Worg, basically sl shot through so instead of 2% risk it was slippage and 16%, but regardless the choice when I entered was poor and should of waited for the stock to prove itself and that would of kept me out of danger. What work have I done this month: Still reading every night before bed, read Technical analysis of stock trends, reading price charts bar by bar, Studies in tape reading and the compound affect and listening to podcast of Rizdom every morning and night too and from work, I attend every PMP with Bohen as well as jack, Sykes and Ellis webbys, all midnight madnesses, and extra ones from Bohen, still plotting every 3DS, FGDB I am in or miss and track the data real time and then study, print and file the chart after to see where I can enter and exit and what to look for, every day is entered in my journal, What have I learnt: Feb was a tough month, markets seemed lighter on volume and not a lot of follow throughs, missed a few again that I was watching and hesitated on, always access these after and still cant decide if its lack of preparation, not reading the price action correctly, wounded from past fails clouding my judgement or just plain chicken, this is defo something I need to work on and am jotting down my feelings when I have or haven’t take a trade, the best trades do simply seem to work and the bad ones, I am tending to know with seconds or a couple of minutes, could I cut sooner maybe, not enough data as to early into this journey, but certainly something to be mindful of, but while I am learning what works and how and when to enter, I will take losses and I’m fine with that as long as I have entered for a pattern and not random. What do I need to work hard on: Entering FGD and 3DS that gap up, still struggling to enter these, I’m ok if I can catch them going red/green, but if they gap up I’m scared they have gone too far early and will fail, so I need more data on these, RXT was perfect example this week, it gapped up pm and open over 25%, before falling at open and then consolidated for 1 hr but I didn’t enter, went over this chart indepth working out reasons why I didn’t enter and its this, I really need to work on, a lot of my tickets on my watchlists are running, so a FGDB or 3DS or SGD worg does not come out of the blue now, it is already on my watchlist and often I have a plan ready, but either I missed the entry or my plan was wrong and I was trying to enter to low, but considering how many runners I actually did see real time, is a an improvement. Overall Feeling on the month: Been a tough month and not many trades, 14 is low for me, but even so I only feel I probably chickened out on say 10 trades max and 2 trades, should of never have been taken and were taken on a baron week, where if there had been actual trades worth taken, I would of given these 2 a second glance I feel and both were 2 worst losses, so says a lot, managed to make the month green, just. Felt like good parts to the month where displine was generally very good baring 2 stupid lapses which came on the same day within minutes of each other, I know its only 2 trades, but take them 2 away and I think this would have been a decent month again, but these loses are valuable lessons to learn not to repeat. Goal for next month: Keep tracking FGD, 3DS as I really think I can get these to work with me, work in progress on finding an entry on gapups on these both, will still attempt the SGD worg where I see fit, as these are now working out to give me and understanding while watching for a possible 3DS later and the FGDB even later, so I am seeing and jotting down levels,

Monthly results Month: January Trades: 35 Wins: 12 Losses: 13 Monthly Total: $118.62 Yearly Total: £118.62 Profitly since began Jan 2024: -$1001.56 Biggest winner: ROLR $52.05, +26.3%, 3DS Pattern Biggest loser: FJET -$23.80, -11%, Random pattern, total random trade, jumped in with limited plan, not thought out whatsoever. What Worked: FGDB took 12 trades, 4 worked with a profit of $41.80, 33.3% hit rate. 3DS: 8 trades, only 1 winner, so 12.5% strike rate but practically break even -$1.03. Mixed was 14 trades, with 6 winners at 42.9% strike rate, with 4 of 4 coming in the way of SGD Worg, RCT only 1 took, which was $28 winner. SGD worg, I had started seeing more as tracking the FGDB early and noticed a pattern with certain ones for running on day 2, so started to take a few and this month worked well. 3DS is very good when works, FGDB was profitable, much to learn and work on though, feel on touching the tip of this ice berg still. What failed. Discipline, still jumping into a few trades, it wasn’t really patterns, it was more psychology problem, missing certain plays as hesitated and wanted to rock solid confirmation, only to enter at stupid point, with no real thought of support and resistance. What work have I done this month: Podcasts walking to work 5 hours a week, still going through the Words of Rizdom, attend at every live webby and all Bohen PMP, most of Bohens DD, then extra vids I here of, read a book every night before sleep, tracking my data every day and add to my excel data, also added more columns I feel valuable in this data, every trade is printed and plotted what I did good and how I could improve, then the patterns I am tracking if I missed any and how I could of traded these, journal every day and realised, this journal does not just need info on my trades, but also my headspace and how I was feeling during it as well as headspace on the days trading as a whole. What have I learnt: I knew tracking was important, but its turning essential into my progression, for example, I need to learn a way to enter a trade that if I was watching and hesitated and missed my low entry near support, I should not buy high, I know this sounds like obvious, but there is ways to enter a FGDB or 3DS if it goes without me, but I have a tendency of jumping in after a green candle and buying the top of the candle and risking the low of the same candle only to see it fail, now if I had like Ellis says, “look left”, for example PM HOD break, enter on this level or if has done this, then wait for it to bounce of this level, I look left always when plotting and tracking, but live I don’t seem to and am too zoomed in, with at least 2 trades I lost on, in recent memory this month, this would of worked, so instead of taking a random entry loss, I could of used this level and had winners instead of losers, this is my bad habit and I need to cut it out. What do I need to work hard on: Every night or early morning I make my plan for the day, I need to work trusting my levels of support to enter and work on making sure I have strong support levels, if I practise more of these levels, I will trust them more, which will lead me to having confidence to enter, as I said in learnt section, I need to work on entries after a stock has started to run, also psychology of jumping into trades, still do this, why ? often it feels like a rush of blood and is I need to learn this feeling when it happens. Overall Feeling on the month: Happy with the month overall, felt like a choppy market, but had some good trade executions, missed a few that had on screen watching live, that would of worked well, executions on these didn’t happen because of confidence, also some no doubt would of failed as well, but overall if I took them all it would have been an even better month, tbf IKBR stopped 2 of these and they were quick winners from level it denied me at, but could of, should of, would of are no good, but I plan to work on this, so a lot to work on, as I continue to grow at this, it truly is as Skyes says a marathon and not a sprint. Goal for next month: Keep getting better at support and resistance levels, keep learning the FGDB, 3DS and also keep the SGD on my wl, although not going to track these just yet, I will keep an eye on these as they also help in seeing levels for the 3DS and FGDB, so they all can be connected.

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.

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.
