From “I Was in a Mess” to “Bring on 2026” – Real Equity Curves, Real Turnarounds
Ahoy there, Trader! ⚓️
It’s Phil…
One month. 23 traders. Over 100 documented wins.
But it’s not just about the numbers. It’s about the stories.
Like James D., whose equity curve went from “mess” to momentum after connecting with me in November. Or Don L., severely dyslexic, trading from Canada’s west coast, who went 18-0 paper trading and said: “I don’t think of this as luck but a reflection of the quality of the training.”
Or Swanky Swank, who kicked off 2026 with wins on day one: “Cha Ching on 2026 day one.”
This is what systematic looks like. Real traders. Real results. Real proof.
Let’s get into it.

The Milestone: “Just wanted to share this and say a huge thank you to @Mr Phil Newton… You can see from April to July I was on a roll, then it went wrong as I moved from just using the pulse to misunderstanding TnTs and Poppers and got myself in a mess. I connected with Phil in November and you can see my progress from there. Bring on 2026.” (with equity curve screenshot)

The Confession: “I joined weeks ago and didn’t start using it til now like an idiot. Anyway, very happy to be here”
“Never traded RUT before being here, but it’s my new best friend. I like it even more than the SPX. Lazy popper crushed today, closed out on 8 of 10 for avg $1.00 gain on initial move. Came back and retested 2520, re-entered 6 and just cashed those 6 plus original 2 for another avg 1.25. What a beautiful day!!”

Ina-Eliza G.: “Slowly recovering losses I had in a row (because of impatience, not following the rules… newbie here, so learning)”
Adrian B.: Back after forced office time, 120% day one return
Richard H.: “I also managed to muddle up my premium poppers and lazy poppers and ended up with fat finger mess up… But we live and learn!”
The Takeaway
23 traders. 100+ wins. One month of proof.
But here’s what matters more than the numbers: these are real people with real lives making real money whilst doing other things.
Trading from charity events at 3am. Closing out winners on Christmas Day. Starting weekends early because the system already paid.
This isn’t luck. This isn’t guesswork. This is what happens when you stop trying to predict the market and start following a mechanical system.
As Don L. put it: “I don’t think of this as luck but a reflection of the quality of the training.”
