Jacob’s Trading Background

So, how did I get into this? I started trading in October 2022, in my early twenties. It actually started with a music podcast, of all things, they were talking about regularly investing in Bitcoin, and that just sparked something in me. From there I got into crypto, but eventually I realised the stock market was just a more structured, sustainable way to actually build something long-term. So from that point I basically dedicated myself to learning everything I could about trading equities. 

I didn’t come from a financial background, no formal trading education, nothing like that. Everything I know has been self-taught, studying the markets, going back over my own trades, constantly refining what I do. And like most traders figure out pretty quickly, there’s no shortcut to this. It’s discipline, it’s managing your risk properly, it’s having a repeatable process you actually stick to. 

Over time I realised my strength is day trading small-cap and micro-cap stocks. I love the fast pace of momentum trading, the challenge of reading price action, volume, market structure, and actually making a decision off it. My whole focus is finding high-volume momentum stocks, being patient for the high-probability setup, and executing with proper risk management. Every single trading day, it’s the same process. I’m not guessing, I’m not trading off emotion, I’m just applying the same method over and over. 

Today I trade full-time, US stock market. My strategy is built around technical analysis, consolidation patterns, momentum shifts, volume signals, price action, that’s basically my whole toolkit for spotting opportunities. It’s taken thousands of hours of chart review and actual market experience to get here, and honestly I’m still refining it as the market changes. 

Outside of trading, I’m a big Manchester United fan, rarely miss a game. I like travelling, seeing different cultures, and I’m into the techno scene with mates too. Keeping that balance outside the markets is genuinely part of why I trade well, it keeps my head clear.

    How we calculate win rates

    We measure win rate using closed trades only, to reflect actual performance, in the past 12 months.

    A trade is classified as:

    • Win → profit after fees

    • Loss → negative result

    • Breakeven → no gain or loss, not included

    Formula

    Win rate % = Wins ÷ (Wins + Losses) × 100

    Example

    • Wins: 89

    • Losses: 11

    Win rate = 89 ÷ (89 + 11) × 100 = 89%

    What we include

    • All trades within the past 12 months from the most recent update

    • Fees and realistic execution

    • Consistent calculation across all our traders

    What we exclude

    • Open trades (trades that are still on-going)

    • Partial updates or scaling entries

    Important

    Win rate alone does not define performance.

    For example, a trader with a lower win rate can outperform if their winning trades are larger than their losses.

    Please remember current performance does not predict or guarantee future performance. You may loose money by following our traders and trading is still very risky.
