Today was a tale of two sessions.
The morning delivered exactly what I’ve been waiting for — clean timing, decisive execution, and proper sizing on a small-cap momentum setup. I built into MLEC pre-market with 4 entries (50-share adds) for 200 shares total, and sold the full position into strength at $10.76.
Previous Trading Recaps
Today was a controlled, process-driven green day built almost entirely around large-cap scalping, with PLTR as the primary vehicle on the short side. The small-cap environment remains sporadic and unforgiving, and while opportunities do exist, they are far less consistent and demand tighter sizing and faster exits.
This was not a day to force momentum in low-floats. Instead, the edge showed up in liquidity, repetition, and speed — and that’s where I focused.
Win rate came in at ~72.6%, driven by lots of small, quick wins rather than any single outsized trade.
Today’s market was cold overall — very cold — with one brief moment of opportunity that lasted about a single candle and offered no continuation anywhere else. Most names chopped, stalled, or completed quick round trips. This was not a market that rewarded constant engagement.
I avoided the noise and waited for the guest of honor.
