A qualitative run-through of every trade from 2025-11-20: setups, thought process, and outcomes.
After an early morning flurry, SGBX was the name that caught my attention. It opened strong and quickly set the stage for a series of trades that would dominate my morning. My first entry was at 7.30, looking to catch a bounce off the VWAP after a quick pullback. Unfortunately, I was met with aggressive sellers, and the stock faded quickly, leading to a best exit at 7.30 and an average exit at 7.17 for a loss of $635.
Not one to shy away from a trend, I tried again on SGBX at 7.77. The tape showed some promise as it bounced off the VWAP, and I was able to exit at 7.95 for a solid gain of $882. The bids were holding up nicely, and I felt the momentum shift in my favor. I was back in the green and ready to keep riding this wave.
The next trade was another long on SGBX at 7.72, and I watched as it danced around the VWAP again. I managed to exit at 7.82, locking in $1,482. The stock was holding above the 1m9 and 5m9 levels, which gave me confidence in the trade. I was starting to see the potential for a follow-through, and I was keen to capitalize on it.
I kept the momentum going with another entry at 8.09, again on SGBX, and I exited at 8.34 for a $768 profit. The bids were strong, and the tape was showing me that buyers were eager to push higher. I was feeling the rhythm of this trade and was satisfied with the outcome.
However, the following trade at 8.19 turned sour quickly. I entered looking for a continuation, but the sellers were aggressive, and I had to cut the position at 8.08, resulting in a $364 loss. The action was choppy, and it was clear that the momentum had shifted. I moved on, but the next trade at 8.69 was another challenge. I entered at 8.69, but the stock couldn't hold the level, and I exited at 8.63 for a $305 loss. The sellers were staying heavy, and I didn't want to fight the trend.
Switching gears, I took a long position in SGBX at 9.08, exiting at 9.16 for a modest gain of $338. The stock showed some life, and I was able to grab a quick profit before the action turned volatile again. I then tried again at 7.81, but the stock couldn't hold above the VWAP, leading to a significant loss of $1,398 as I exited at 7.72. The morning had been a mixed bag with SGBX, but I was still in the game.
I decided to shift my focus to LFS, and after a few attempts, I made a notable long at 8.38. The stock was showing strength, and I exited at 8.55 for a $686 profit. It felt good to see a clean move after the earlier struggles with SGBX, and the tape was much clearer here.
The standout trade of the day was on LUD, where I entered at 17.68. It was a washout long setup, and the price action was explosive. I exited at 20.57 for a remarkable $2,020 profit. The bids were stacked, and it felt like the stock was in a strong uptrend, providing a perfect opportunity to capitalize on the momentum.
Later in the day, I took a long on MNDR at 4.50, exiting at 4.61 for a gain of $444. The tape showed a solid bull flag formation, and I was able to ride that momentum into the close.
What I did well: I capitalized on some solid setups in SGBX and LUD, maximizing my gains where the tape showed strength.
What I did poorly: I didn't cut losses quickly enough on a few trades, which impacted my overall performance.
Trading grade: B+ — I executed well on the good setups but let a couple of losses linger longer than necessary.
Tomorrow, I’ll look to build on the gains and tighten my risk management.
