🟢 P&L: +$549.12 | Grade: A- | February 18, 2026
Today was a strong example of controlled execution across sessions.
Small Caps (Pre-Market)
Small caps did their job early.
SNSE was the standout:
-
+$224.19 on the primary move
-
+$147.50 on a secondary opportunity
Clean entries. Proper sizing. No chasing. Took what the market offered.
The rest of the morning was disciplined — no forcing when setups weren’t there.
Large Caps (Open + Power Hour)
The remainder of the day was built through structured scalps on higher-float names.
Nothing oversized.
No hero trades.
Just base hits into:
-
The opening volatility
-
Afternoon liquidity during power hour
These were execution trades — reading momentum, respecting structure, and taking profits when offered.
Small caps remain selective — not broad momentum, but tradable pockets.
Large caps continue to provide:
-
Liquidity
-
Clean technical structure
-
Repeatable volatility
Right now, adaptability matters more than bias.

Execution Notes
Self-Regulation Review
-
Stayed session-based.
-
No emotional sizing.
-
No revenge trading.
-
Let winners work.
-
Didn’t overstay once edge softened.
The biggest win today wasn’t the dollar amount.
It was controlled aggression early → controlled consistency later.
That’s the curve I’m building.
