Results
These are the results of my own trading account.
Returns are percentages, not dollars — I don't publish account size. Every month is adjusted for money I deposited or withdrew, so what you're looking at is what my trading did, not what my bank transfers did. That distinction matters more than it sounds like it should, and there's a month below that proves it.
Every month gets posted whether it was good or not.

How to read this
My win rate got worse and my results got better. Look at September 2025: I won 87% of my trades and the account moved 2.3%. Then look at March 2026: I won 28% of my trades and the account moved 22%. That is the whole story of the last eighteen months. I stopped trying to be right and started making the rare right one count.
If you take one thing from this page, take that. Being right is not the job.
February 2026 is the month I'd rather not publish. Down 17% — my worst. What makes it worth keeping is the detail underneath: my profit factor that month was 1.25, meaning the trades I picked were net positive. I lost seventeen percent of the account on a month where my selection was fine. That was position sizing, nothing else. Big money on the ones that failed, small money on the ones that worked.
The very next month was my best. Make of that what you will; I know what I make of it.
The drawdown is real. Down 27% at the trough. If a number like that would end you, this style of trading is not for you, and I'd rather say so here than have you find out with your own money.
Method
Returns are calculated on account equity, adjusted for deposits and withdrawals by the date they occurred, and compounded month to month. Trade statistics come from my TradeZella journal.
April 2025 is not shown. I was funding the account through that month and I don't have a clean starting balance to measure against, so any figure I gave you would be invented. The record starts the first month I can calculate honestly.
The methodology hasn't changed since the first row. If it ever does, I'll say so in the month it changes rather than quietly restating the past.
