Sure a few will be surprised but for now Iβm taking a break, I have a few bigger things I need to prioritise at the moment.
Iβm sure it will be a short but I just need to prioritise my time elsewhere at the moment.
Iβll still be investing as always but I will be taking a step back on my X & trading bot journeys for now.
Thank you all for the support you have shown me!
See you all very soon,

Late to the party today but here it goes
Day 5 β the open β B & Bot π
Open balance: Β£4,974.64 (practice account)
Now: Β£4,983 (+0.17%) with 2 open, 1 pending
Backdrop: mildly risk-on open with AI hardware leading. SPY & QQQ holding above VWAP, VIX easing (~17), small caps flipping back and forth around VWAP.
Trades so far:
β’ $ZM (Zoom): Oppenheimer upgrade to Outperform on AI traction, 3.5x volume. Bought 16 @ 100.75 on a VWAP hold. Stop 98.50, half off at 103.00, runner to 105.25.
β’ $ROIV (Roivant): positive late-stage uveitis trial data, 11x volume. Bought 45 @ 36.95 on a VWAP reclaim. Stop 36.12, half off at 37.78, runner to 38.61.
β’ $APLD (Applied Digital): 50 MW wind-powered AI data centre partnership with Soluna. Limit buy 81 @ 20.335 waiting for a fill. Stop 19.86.
What we passed on:
β’ $SMCI: #1 on the pre-market list, but lost VWAP right as the order was approved. Rule said no, so no trade.
β’ $SPCX & $SCCO: good setups, but no room left in the risk budget.
Process notes:
β’ 5-min scans from 14:45 UK caught ZM's first clean 15-min close
β’ Every order re-checked against VWAP before it's placed (that's what saved us on SMCI)
