<center><h2>Monthly Progress Report October</h2></center>
My monthly progress reports serve a couple of purposes:
* The first one, and primary reason for doing them, is that it allows me to see where I have been, where I am going, and where I am falling short in my personal goals.

* The second purpose they serve is to let people, new accounts and old, see an honest representation of an account built from scratch and not really knowing anything at all about cryptocurrency.

October started out pretty slow for me, and then picked back up in the second half. Over all I think I did pretty good for October. On with the report.

<h3>The Monthly Progress Report Table:</h3>

Pretty similar to Septembers results slightly less growth, but not by a large margin. Number of postings down, and that effects a lot of the numbers. Fortunately I did have a lot of fun with commenting and found lots of things to comment on.

![October Monthly Pie Chart](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bashadow/Av13zVE2-October20Monthly20Pie20Chart.png)
Pretty even mix of earnings, remember the HBD-C figure is based on today's Hive market price, and it was a very good conversion/sell rate of almost 8 Hive for 1 HBD. I wish I had more HBD sitting around somewhere because that I think is a record rate.

![October Monthly Account Growth](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bashadow/7PVtFHML-October20Monthly20Account20Growth.png)
 I was able to add almost 250HP to my powered up Hive, yes a lot of that came today for Hive Power Up day, I had been saving it and not powering up as I go so I could get he next size bee badge. A silly thing, but I hopefully made the next level bee.

There are still a few glitches being worked out from HF24, and that is the reason for no current APR from LeoStats page.

<h2>Engagement Charts and Tables:</h2>
![Levels of Engagement Chart](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bashadow/KLZnTcMj-Levels20of20Engagement20Chart.png)
I am pretty happy with the last three months, I hope I can get the bars up just a little bit higher in November and December I would really like to reach my year end goal. 

![Monthly Post Chart](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bashadow/Gk1SaZgq-Monthly20Psot20Chart.png)
Not so good in the posting actions this month. I am going to need to try a bit harder. Maybe a few more pictures of the snows, and the cold will help, or a holiday story or two.

![October Engagement League Activity](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bashadow/Ffjlpele-Otober20League20Activity.png)
I have been on a steady climb the last few weeks, always nice to see the trending lines going up and not down. I was pleasantly surprised this morning to see that I had made it to number seven spot on the league this week, my best placing so far in Hive.

![October Daily Comments](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bashadow/7v6zC7wX-October20Daily20Comments.png)
As you can plainly see October started on a rather down note when it came to comments from me, there was a sharp rise for one day then a steady trickle in a downward spiral. It will really help with my year end goal if I am able to maintain the end of the month trend into November. 

![October Comment Commitment](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/bashadow/KzFX9W8Z-October20Comment20Commitment.png)
It is going to be pretty touch and go for my year end goal. I'll be close I think, but I really need to keep my comment levels up over the next two months. Hopefully November will be a good month.

<h3>Conclusion and side notes:</h3>

Hard Fork 24 is done, there is still a little bit of fallout from it, but those issues are being worked on, hopefully for November I will be able to continue my APR tracking from LeoStats.
