Mixed Week, Strong Finish: Students Stay the Course Despite Market Drama
Ahoy there, Trader! ⚓️
It’s Phil…
Mixed start to the week? Check.✅
Headlines screaming about;”Jackson’s Hole, Powell’s Hole, and Trump’s taco hole and tiny little fingered tweets”? Double check.✅✅
But here’s what the noise couldn’t shake: systematic traders who know the score.
We headed into the weekend finishing strong and net positive simply by staying the course, following the rules, and remembering that the next trade doesn’t “owe us” anything. We’re playing the numbers in a positive expectancy strategy game – and this week’s Wall of Wins proves it works.
The Tag ‘n Turn swings saw some fast moves which sadly doesn’t help us hit those max premiums, but the target moves were achievable given the overall volatility (or lack of it) we’ve seen recently. When speed limits theta collection, systematic patience wins the day.
Plus, the new software updates I rolled out this week are already helping traders get results and stay on track. Technology serving discipline – that’s the sweet spot.

Takeaway
This week perfectly demonstrates why systematic traders thrive when others panic. Headlines screamed, markets gyrated, and volatility played hide-and-seek – yet our students kept banking consistent wins.
The real story isn’t in any single trade, but in the variety of success: first-time Lazy Popper wins, 92% win rates, perfect weekly streaks, and honest accountability when trades are missed. From Keith B’s 77% rate in his first live month to Steve J’s $545 Tag ‘n Turn swing, the system works across all experience levels.
Notice Richard H’s transparency – reporting both Premium Popper losses AND his Lazy Popper’s 8-for-8 winning streak. That’s systematic maturity: celebrating wins while acknowledging that losses are part of positive expectancy trading.
The new software updates are already showing results, with Colin H specifically noting how the tools are helping his execution. When technology serves systematic discipline instead of replacing it, magic happens.
Next week’s Wall of Wins is already forming. The question remains: will your name be on it?
Happy trading,
Phil
