Daily Trading Report — 2025-11-26

The day started with AMBR, which was showing some early promise. I took my first entry at 2.70 as it bounced off a sub VWAP trap. The 1m9 and 1m20 were both around 2.73, and the 5m9 was at 2.65, so the setup was solid. The stock pushed up to 2.79 before I exited at 2.78, netting me a profit of $408. It was a nice start to the day, with buyers stepping in and bids holding up well.

However, I quickly gave back some of those gains with a second AMBR trade. I entered at 2.67, still in the sub VWAP trap setup, but the tape shifted. Sellers were aggressive, and I had to exit at 2.63, taking a loss of $558. The stock just couldn’t hold the level, which was disappointing after the initial bounce.

Next up was BQ, where I entered at 2.70 on a scalp trade. The action was choppy, and I cut for a loss at 2.60, down $488. I should have been more attentive to the tape; it was clear that sellers were staying heavy. The timing was off, and I got caught in a quick reversal.

Back to AMBR for another attempt, I entered at 2.83, still hoping for that sub VWAP reclaim. Unfortunately, the stock couldn't hold up, and I exited at 2.75, losing $713. The bids weren’t holding, and it felt like I was trying to catch a falling knife.

Then came KTTA, where I saw an opportunity for a quick scalp. I entered at 1.14 and managed to ride it to 1.29, securing a solid gain of $1,330. This trade was cleaner, with strong buyers pushing the price up, so it was nice to see some follow-through here.

However, I gave back some of those gains shortly after. I entered KTTA again at 1.23 but had to cut it at 1.18 for a loss of $402. The tape felt heavy, and I wasn’t getting the momentum I expected.

I tried another KTTA entry at 1.29, but again, I exited at 1.22, losing $486. The stock was just choppy, and I wasn't reading the price action well enough.

Moving on to SMX, I entered at 8.58 in a sub VWAP trap setup. Unfortunately, the stock didn’t hold, and I exited at 8.32 for a loss of $309. The tape was showing signs of seller pressure, and I wasn't able to catch the bounce I was looking for.

I then jumped back into BQ at 2.78, but it continued to fade, and I cut for a $430 loss at 2.61. The sellers were relentless, and I had to recognize that I was on the wrong side of the trade.

Finally, I had a strong finish with SMX. My first entry was at 10.20, and I exited at 10.44 for a gain of $425. The stock showed strength, and I was able to ride the wave of buyers coming in.

The action continued, and I caught a nice washout long on SMX, entering at 8.68 and exiting at 8.87 for a $377 gain. The stock had a sharp drop but then reversed quickly, and I capitalized on that move.

Later in the day, I saw some more opportunities with SMX. I entered at 10.70 and exited at 11.19 for a profit of $486. The bids were holding up well, and it was nice to see the follow-through continue.

As the day wound down, I got into a couple of washout longs on SMX that turned out to be very profitable. My entry at 15.22 led to an exit at 16.98, netting me $2,262. The stock was showing strong bids, and I was able to ride the momentum effectively. I followed that up with another entry at 24.59, exiting at 26.83 for a gain of $1,338.

What I did well: I recognized strong setups and capitalized on the washout longs effectively.

What I did poorly: I struggled with some of the earlier trades, particularly with AMBR and BQ, where I was too aggressive without confirming the tape.

Trading grade: B — I had some solid winners, but the early losses could have been avoided with better tape reading. Tomorrow's another day to refine my entries.
