A qualitative run-through of every trade from 2025-11-21: setups, thought process, and outcomes.
The day kicked off with SGBX, where I was looking for a sub vwap trap after it had initially held above VWAP. I took my first entry at 4.42. Unfortunately, the stock didn’t hold up as I expected; it pulled back quickly, and I had to exit at 4.36, resulting in a loss of about $341. The tape showed some early strength, but it faded quickly, and I didn’t want to hold through the weakness.
Not long after, I tried to catch a washout long on SGBX again, entering at 4.26 after a sharp drop. The idea was that it could reverse, given the aggressive selling. However, the selling pressure was relentless, and I ended up cutting that position at 3.98 for a significant loss of $2,694. The stock just didn’t stabilize as I hoped; it continued to drop below key levels, and I was forced to exit as the bids were not holding up.
Later, I turned my attention to MFI, looking for a quick scalp. I entered at 13.45, trying to capitalize on a minor bounce. The action was choppy, and I had to exit quickly at 12.98. It wasn't a big loss, just $376, but it highlighted how the market dynamics were shifting. There was no real follow-through, and I was right to keep it tight.
I then moved to OSRH, first entering at 0.7299 during another sub vwap trap setup. The stock felt like it could reclaim, but once again, it didn’t hold. I exited at 0.6804, which led to a loss of $758. The tape showed sellers were aggressive, and it was clear they were in control, pushing the price down despite my initial read.
I tried OSRH once more, entering at 0.7130, but it was a similar story. I had hoped for a bounce, but the selling pressure was too strong, and I cut it at 0.5964 for a loss of $2,349. The bids were just not holding up, and I had to accept the reality that the stock was not going to reverse.
The last notable trade of the day was on TYGO, where I entered at 4.50, looking for a quick in-and-out. The stock’s action was erratic, and I ended up exiting at 3.10, which cost me $2,050. It was a frustrating trade; I thought I could catch some momentum, but the volatility was too much, and I got caught on the wrong side as it faded hard.
Overall, today was rough. I had quite a few trades that didn’t go my way, and the tape felt heavy across the board. The industrials sector, particularly with SGBX and OSRH, was where I focused my energy, but the selling pressure made it tough to find any solid setups.
What I did well: I cut losses quickly when trades went against me.
What I did poorly: I misread the strength in the early trades and didn’t adjust quickly enough.
Trading grade: D — Poor execution on key setups and a lack of follow-through on trades.
Tomorrow's another day to reset and reassess.
