🟢 P&L: +$30.60 December 17, 2025 Trades
Great sleep last night (7h 42m) — emotional control was much easier. Progress still feels like 11 steps forward, 4 back, but today was 2.5 steps forward. Small size, no hero trades, stayed in control in a choppy market.

Trade Breakdown
🟢 MBRX — Best Trade of the Day
Execution:
-
Bought in the mid-$5.90s
-
Sold into strength around $6.38
-
Took a small re-entry later for 5x less shares, and gave small portion back. Was a tester to feel the rest of it out.... was done. Moved on.
Takeaway:
The first trade was clean. I took profits into strength and didn’t overstay the move.
The second entry wasn’t necessary — a reminder that one good trade is often enough.... but I tried it with 5x less shares...
Still, MBRX did exactly what I needed it to do today: start the day green without stress.
🟢 PCSA — Simple and Clean
Execution:
-
Entry around $5
-
Exit near $7.12
Takeaway:
This was a textbook momentum trade. No overthinking, no extra clicks, no drama. Saw it running quick after the halt, was watching carefully, and got the excitement spike for a quick $2 per share scalp. took it with only 5 shares because was high risk. Dropped fast.
I took the move and walked away.
🟡 ISPO — Chop, Then Discipline
Execution:
-
Early entry resulted in a small loss
-
Multiple small trades as price chopped
-
Later pop allowed me to scratch back toward flat
Takeaway:
ISPO never really cleaned up. The key difference today versus past versions of myself is what I didn’t do:
-
I didn’t size up
-
I didn’t revenge trade
-
I didn’t force continuation
Old habits would have turned this into a spiral. Today, it stayed contained.
That’s progress.
Market Context
The morning offered a few small-cap movers, but overall price action felt selective and choppy. There were opportunities, but they required precision. This wasn’t a day to press size or force continuation.
That framing mattered.

No adrenaline. No regret. No damage.
That’s the version of trading I’m trying to repeat.
