Trade Breakdown

KPLT โ€” 5 Trades | Best Ticker of the Day

Early Premarket Attempts (Small / Mixed)

  • B 8.94 (1) / B 8.95 (2) / B 8.95 (2) โ†’ S 9.20 (5)

  • B 9.55 (5) โ†’ S 9.45 (5)

  • B 8.67 (5) โ†’ S 8.73 (5)

Small scalps, some stalls, cut quickly.


โญ Full-Size Trade โ€” Curl / Pivot Break (A-Trade)

  • B 7.68 (50) โ†’ S 7.99 (50) โ†’ +$15.50

Clean structure, clear curl, pivot break confirmed.
Sized up with conviction, took profits without hesitation.


Late Small Exit

  • B 9.49 (5) โ†’ S 9.66 (5 split: 3 + 2)

Lesson:
Waited for confirmation, sized up only when structure was clear.
This trade carried the day and was executed exactly to plan.


JZXN โ€” 6 Trades | Overtraded / Backside

Entries & Exits

  • B 6.85 (5) โ†’ S 6.98 (5)

  • B 8.22 (5) โ†’ S 8.85 (5)

  • B 10.67 (5) โ†’ S 10.69 (5)

  • B 10.75 (5) โ†’ S 10.26 (5)

  • B 8.35 (5) โ†’ S 8.11 (5)

  • B 8.18 (5) โ†’ S 8.01 (5)

Some good pushes, some late entries, too much backside activity.

Net: -$0.60

Lesson:
Frustration crept in. Micro size prevented damage, but this ticker didnโ€™t deserve this much attention.


VVPR โ€” 1 Trade | Averaging Down Experiment (Failed)

Entries & Exit

  • B 3.03 (10)

  • B 3.02 (5)

  • B 2.99 (5)

  • B 3.20 (5)
    โ†’ S 2.73 (25) โ†’ -$8.10

I intentionally experimented with averaging down on what I expected to be a curl back up.
I wasnโ€™t confident, so I kept size small โ€” but still gave it a try.

This turned out to be a textbook example of why averaging down is a recipe for disaster in these names.
The curl never came, and the trade became management instead of execution.

Iโ€™m grateful this was an inexpensive lesson that reinforced a rule I already know:

If Iโ€™m not confident, I shouldnโ€™t be adding โ€” I should be exiting.


NIVF โ€” 1 Trade | Quick Pop

  • B 1.60 (5) โ†’ S 1.615 (5) โ†’ +$0.08

Quick in, quick out. No attachment.

Market Context

  • Choppy

  • Weak follow-through

  • Fake pullbacks everywhere

  • Breakouts not extending

  • Selective sizing was the correct read

Execution Notes

What I Did Well

  • Full size ONLY on high-conviction setup (KPLT)

  • Cut losers fast

  • No revenge trading

  • Stayed emotionally aware

  • Micro size prevented damage on bad ideas

What Needs Work

  • Reduce total number of trades

  • Stop backside trading sooner

  • No more averaging down experiments

  • Disengage faster when edge disappears

I felt the itch to trade and experiment today. (Theme all week - need to be careful)
Instead of forcing size, I kept everything micro and used the morning for reps.
When the clean setup finally appeared (KPLT), I sized up with conviction โ€” and thatโ€™s what made the day green.

Scorecard

  • Patience: C

  • Risk Management: B

  • Self-Awareness: B

  • Emotional Control: C

  • Discipline: C

Overall: C+
