Weekly Trading Update – December Begins with 25.13% YTD Growth
November 1% so now we enter December with capital up 25.13% YTD and four weeks to go. When we look back on the year it will have been good I think. I am happy enough with 25% so everything else is just Christmas cake from here on. Once trading remains stable and slightly boring then we are managing capital the way it should be managed. The EA’s are sitting in the long grass waiting as always for either an entry or a TP. Welcome to my clients in the process of setting up and/or transferring money in. I said to a client last night and it’s true for us all: “think about what your objective is for the money. If you’re clear on what you want it to achieve — growth, income, a future purchase, or simply building capital — it usually becomes much easier to know what level you really want to invest. Confidence plays a part, of course, but clarity of purpose normally makes the decision obvious.”
A Strong Start to December
As we move into the final month of the year, the Blackwave portfolio continues to show steady performance, controlled exposure, and the kind of quiet consistency that defines good professional trading. In a world where most traders chase drama, we continue to value the opposite — slow, stable compounding.
December is traditionally a thinner, calmer period in global markets, and that environment suits our algorithmic trading systems perfectly. The goal is always the same: protect capital, wait patiently, and only strike when conditions are clear.
Algorithmic Systems Working as Designed
Our automated strategies continue to:
- Sit quietly until high-probability setups appear
- Avoid emotional or forced trades
- Manage risk with discipline
- Execute cleanly when conditions align
This is the backbone of Blackwave — a systematic approach that prioritises longevity over noise.
Welcome to New Clients
A warm welcome to everyone currently completing their LPOA setup or transferring funds into the Blackwave managed account. You are joining at an ideal point in the trading cycle as we position ourselves for the next chapter in 2026, where capital growth and strategic expansion will again be front and centre.
Clarity Creates Confidence
Your investment approach becomes far simpler when the purpose is clear. Whether you want growth, income, or to build deposits for future property opportunities, clarity removes hesitation. Confidence grows naturally from knowing your goal.
New Podcast Series: The Blackwave Mindset
Over the past two weeks, I’ve launched a new podcast series called “The Blackwave Mindset.” These episodes share a little of the untold story behind the origins of Blackwave — the real beginnings, the lessons learned, the mistakes, the breakthroughs, and the thinking that shaped the trading philosophy I use today.
This series is only getting started, and several more episodes will follow, each unpacking different pieces of the Blackwave journey and mindset.

If you’re interested in the deeper philosophy behind Blackwave — not just the trading, but the reasons it exists and the evolution behind it — these episodes will resonate. Also available in Apple Podcasts, just search for “The Blackwave Mindset Series”.
Looking Ahead to 2026
With performance at 25.13% YTD and a stable trading environment, we can close out the year calmly and prepare for the next strategic step: positioning ourselves for 2026, where growth, discipline, and long-term compounding remain the priority.
