18 Traders. 52 Screenshots. Steve F Joins the Wall For the First Time.

Week ending 10 March 2026 across 18 unique traders, 52 screenshots processed, covering 13 Feb to 10 March. SLP was the most active trader by volume – poppers, pulses, BWBs and scalps across both instruments across multiple sessions. Andy D. logged wins across several sessions including a live session with Phil that produced back-to-back wins on SPX and RUT. Irina Csont delivered the standout single session of the week with 6 from 6 on Feb 13. Mark Steffens reached a genuine personal milestone with his first ever live SPX trade. Steve Fox joins the Wall of Wins for the first time with two clean popper wins and a Bonds TnT setup.

Stories Behind The Numbers

The Cold Sweat Entry

Mark Steffens placed his first ever live SPX trade this week.

Got in at 1.00. Broke into a cold sweat. Scaled his profit target down to 0.40 mid-trade. Watched it. Closed it.

“Got the mechanics down at least now so will keep grinding.”

There is no shortcut past this moment. Every trader who now closes poppers from a school car park or a restaurant table or the side of a public road – every one of them had their version of this session. Shaking hand on the mouse. Heart rate elevated. Target scaled down because getting out with any profit felt better than holding for the full number.

That is not a failure of nerve. That is the first time the real thing is more vivid than the paper trade. Mark got the mechanics right. He got in, he managed it, he got out. Everything after this is refinement.

“Will keep grinding. 🤣”

The Full House

On Feb 13 Irina Csont sat down and went 6 from 6.

ORBs on SPX and RUT. Two T&Ts. All six trades closed for profit. “Best day ever for me!”

That is not beginner’s luck. That is what happens when a systematic trader hits a day where the setups line up cleanly and the execution matches. No heroics. No improvisation. Just six triggers pulled in sequence, six positions managed, six closes.

Feb 16 she came back, took one conservative RUT 3rd BO, got her profit, and called it done. “Got my profits, very happy with one trade.”

Six from six one day. One trade the next. Both correct. Knowing when to push and knowing when one clean win is enough – that is the full picture of systematic trading.

Process Over Outcome

Andy D. took a 160% loss on RUT #1. Then came back in the same morning.

RUT #2: 40% ROC. RUT #3: 92% ROC. SPX #1: 97% ROC.

His note on the reversal: “Revenge Trading after the AM loss… LOL.”

Except it wasn’t revenge trading in the damaging sense – it was the system saying there were more valid setups in the session and he took them. The loss was real and reported honestly. The three subsequent wins were also real. Net result: positive session despite the opening hit.

Earlier in the week – Feb 27 – Andy logged RUT Bear 78% and SPX Bull 100% and signed off with “All Wins no Losses all week.” The live session with Phil produced SPX 91%, RUT 87%, and an SPX VWAP bounce at 71%. “Another kick ass day.”

The week as a whole: losses reported, wins banked, process maintained throughout. That is the behaviour of someone who has genuinely absorbed what this system is for.

The Data Audit

Chris Taylor did something most traders never bother to do – he went back and looked at the evidence.

Four months of trade logs. November through February. Fed it into an AI. Asked for the honest read.

The answer came back: ORB30 is his personal sweet spot. Average return per trade: +$15.38.

That number matters not because it’s large but because it’s real and it’s specific to him. Not a strategy average. Not a theoretical return. His actual average, from his actual trades, on the setup that suits how he sees price action and manages entries. The week closed with an ORB30 winner – fitting.

Most traders accumulate experience over time without ever formally auditing it. Chris extracted a personal edge from four months of data and now knows exactly where to focus. That is systematic self-awareness turned into an actionable number.

The Machine

SLP was the most active trader on the wall this week – by some distance.

Poppers on SPX and RUT. BWBs on both sides. Pulses AM and PM. Scalps off VWAP. Fourteen-plus entries across the week, covering almost every setup in the toolkit.

The most telling moment came when the bull RUT pulse in the morning and the bear SPX pulse in the afternoon cancelled each other out. His summary: “am okay with that.”

That is equanimity under fire. Not every day produces a net win. Some days the instruments pull in opposite directions and you end flat. SLP took the flat day, noted it without drama, and showed up the next session. The SPX double later in the week – “+$3.30 / RUT +$2.60” – landed with the same tone. Fast fills, noted, moved on.

There is no performance. Just execution, session after session, however the day runs.

The Deliberate Exit

Don Eng had a clean read on the RUT LP this week and chose to exit early.

The trade was long breakout, 2690c/2685p. He watched it run to resistance around 12:50. Took the small profit. Closed the ticket. “Liked the quick win today.”

He also skipped the SPX session that day entirely due to choppiness. Not a reluctant miss – a deliberate decision.

Knowing when not to trade is the part of the system that doesn’t get written up in win screenshots. Don’s week had a 50% loss earlier that he bounced back from with an 80% ROC first BO win the next session. The deliberate exit on the RUT LP and the clean skip on SPX chop are the same skill set as the 80% ROC recovery – reading the situation and choosing the correct response rather than the default one.

The Transparency Corner

Mary, Richard H., and Andy D. all reported losing trades this week.

Mary had two losses in a popper session and stopped trading for the day. That is the correct response. She had already banked two 100% lazy day trade wins earlier in the week – “The market behaved for once 😎” – and knowing when a session has turned against you and the right move is to step away is not a weakness in the system. It is the system.

Richard H. had a clean loss day on SPX ORB20 and ORB60 with his RUT ORB60 stop not triggering as expected. His note: “Not my day.” Earlier in the week he described a broadly flat session as “basically flat for today” – no catastrophising, no overreaction. The good days and the bad days are both part of the process.

Andy D. reported the 160% loss openly and came back. The honesty with which losses are shared in this community is as much proof of the system working as any 97% ROC screenshot.

The Takeaway

A cold sweat entry that gets closed. Six trades, all winners, one session. A 160% loss followed by three wins in the same morning. Four months of trade logs fed into an AI to confirm one number to the dollar.

The theme of this week is self-knowledge. Not the exciting kind – not the 97% ROC or the 6-from-6 sweep, though both of those are here too. The quieter kind. Mark learning what his hands feel like on a real entry. Chris learning exactly which setup produces his best average. Don learning when to take the quick win and skip the chop. SLP learning that a flat day after a bull-bear wash is a perfectly acceptable outcome and not worth a second thought.

This is what the system builds over time. Not just trade results – actual knowledge of yourself as a trader. What setups suit your psychology. What market conditions to skip. When to push and when one clean win is enough and the laptop can close.

John Micena came back after a month away and called it a grind that worked out. Steve Fox joined the wall for the first time. The door stays open and the process stays the same.

Next week the wall goes up again. Will your name be on it?
