Download the full PDF — complete trade ledger

This consolidates the four weekly editions published to the KIRA VIP channel across August 2026. It is educational content only - not financial, investment or trading advice. Figures are self-reported and not an independently audited brokerage statement. One month is not a track record. Figures use the KIRA reporting-pip convention (see Methodology). Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Four positive weeks from four, and no single week carried the result: the strongest edition contributed just over a third of the month's net, and the weakest still closed positive.

How the month traded

August ran in two halves. The first three weeks were expansion: gold advanced from the 4,060s to a high near 4,678, and the calls that worked were pullback entries carried to the furthest target. The final week turned, and the change was visible in the results rather than asserted — sells returned +1,345 pips while buys returned -80.

What the month shows

Consistency. Four positive weeks from four. The weakest, Week 02, closed +975 on an even 5W/5L record — carried by risk-reward rather than hit rate.

What lost money. Counter-trend entries, consistently. Week 03's two losses were both sells into a rising market; Week 04's were both buys into a falling one. The losing trade of the month was reliably the one placed against the prevailing direction.

Coverage. Gold is the core market. The three single-instrument trades are too few to say anything about performance in those markets, and are reported rather than generalised from.

Desk depth. Three named analysts now carry a record, each reported separately so an individual history stays accurate rather than being merged into a desk total.

Outstanding items

BTCUSD buy — Week 01 carry-over. A BTCUSD buy at 64,600 was published as open at the close of Week 01 and has not been recorded as closed in any subsequent edition. It is excluded from every realized figure in this report and remains outstanding. It is disclosed here rather than dropped from the ledger.

Methodology

Figures use the Kira Engineer Hub reporting convention: XAUUSD $1.00 = 10 pips · XAGUSD $0.01 = 1 pip · US30 1 index point = 1 pip · BTCUSD $10.00 = 1 pip. Where a call is issued as a range, the midpoint is used as the reference entry.

Multi-target calls are never summed - the furthest target confirmed as achieved is the single recorded outcome, which prevents double-counting. Where one setup triggered and reached target more than once, it is recorded as a single call carrying the combined pips, never as multiple wins. Breakeven calls count toward closed calls but are excluded from the win-rate basis.

Calls cancelled before triggering, and calls with no confirmed exit at publication, are disclosed in full but excluded from closed-call counts, win rate and all realized pip totals.

Gross winning pips, losing pips and net pips are stated separately so the cost of the month's stopped calls stays visible rather than netted out of sight.

Disclosure

Historical performance does not guarantee future results. This report summarizes the trading-call outcomes recorded for the stated reporting period and is not an independently audited brokerage statement. Actual execution may vary due to entry price, spread, slippage, timing and trade management.
