A qualitative run-through of every trade from 2025-11-17: setups, thought process, and outcomes.
The morning kicked off with AMIX, which showed potential for a solid move. I saw it as a sub VWAP trap and entered at 1.19. The tape was strong, with bids holding up and the stock pushing past the 1m9 at 1.21. It was nice to see it quickly rallying, and I managed to exit at an average of 1.34, with a best exit of 1.37. The trade netted me over a grand, a solid start to the day.
However, I got caught up in another sub VWAP trap with AMIX shortly after. I entered at 1.53, but the momentum faded fast. The bids started to slip, and I had to cut my position for a loss, exiting at 1.42. This was a tough hit, and it highlighted how quickly sentiment can shift, especially in a volatile name like this.
Later in the day, I switched gears to KXIN. I took a scalp trade, entering at 0.5628. The stock was showing some life, bouncing off support, and I managed to exit at an average of 0.5707. It felt like a decent play, but the gains were modest compared to earlier trades. The action in KXIN was choppy but ultimately favorable for a quick in-and-out.
The afternoon brought more challenges. I took a scalp trade in ATGL at 21.61, but I misjudged the strength. The stock quickly reversed, and I was forced to exit at 20.51 for a significant loss. The tape showed aggressive selling, and I didn't act fast enough to cut my losses. It was a stark reminder of how quickly things can turn, especially in this market environment.
I then had a better experience with another ATGL trade. I entered at 26.74, and this time the momentum was on my side. The stock rallied nicely, and I exited at an average of 29.29, locking in a solid gain. The tape was strong here, with buyers stepping in and the stock showing clear strength.
Overall, today was a mixed bag. I had some high points with AMIX and ATGL, but the losses took a toll. The market was particularly volatile, with healthcare and consumer cyclical sectors showing significant movement. It was a reminder to stay sharp and reactive, as the tape can change in an instant.
What I did well: Executed a solid initial trade with AMIX.
What I did poorly: Didn’t cut losses quickly enough on ATGL.
Trading grade: B- Mixed performance with good entries but poor management on some exits.
