Choppy, warm market with elevated risk. Avoided FOMO, stayed selective, and managed risk tightly. One strong opportunity (NPT) carried the day through patient, structured participation and disciplined scaling. Early mistake was contained, losses stayed small, and no escalation occurred. A clean, process-driven green day in a tape that could’ve easily turned red.

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.
🟢 P&L: +$158.68 | Grade: B+ | February 10, 2026 Trades
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.
🟢 P&L: +$1,112.89 | Grade: A- | February 9, 2026 Trades
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.

🟢 P&L: +$8.81 | Grade: B | February 2, 2026 Trades
Today was a quiet green day defined by strong self-regulation rather than P&L. Stepping away from external stimulus reduced FOMO, slowed decision-making, and restored ownership over trades. Execution was patient, losses were accepted without escalation, and emotional state stayed grounded, calm, and balanced throughout the session. The result wasn’t about maximizing gains — it was about protecting process, reinforcing discipline, and proving that a cleaner environment leads to better behavior.
