I got into BTTC early, catching a washout long right after the open. The stock had gapped up a whopping 170%, and the low float of just over 2 million shares was setting it up for volatility. I entered at 5.94 and exited at 6.20, banking a small gain of $80.59. The tape showed some initial strength, but it quickly pulled back. I was still feeling optimistic, though, so I re-entered as it held above the VWAP. This time, I caught a nice move from 6.46 to 6.82, netting $1,295.30 and feeling like I was onto something solid.

However, I got a bit too aggressive with BTTC after that. I chased a few entries above 7.68 and 9.04, which didn’t pan out as expected. The tape was showing signs of exhaustion, and I should have been more cautious. It was a classic case of overtrading — I was trying to force the momentum instead of waiting for clearer signals. After a few scalp attempts that barely moved the needle, I decided to cut my losses and shift focus.

MIGI drew my attention next, and I made a series of washout longs, but it felt like I was fighting the tape. The stock had a lighter float and was showing some potential, but my timing was off. I entered at 9.22, thinking I’d ride a bounce, but the stock quickly faded, and I took a loss of $433.20. I tried to chase back in at higher levels, but the momentum just wasn't there. The overall market sentiment felt shaky, and I was getting caught up in the noise.

BBGI was another name I took a stab at, but it was more of a scalp trade that didn’t materialize into anything significant. I squeezed out a tiny win, but it was hardly worth the effort. The market was choppy, and I wasn’t reading the action well. The late-day sessions with MIGI and AVGO were a disaster for me. I ended up taking a significant hit on MIGI as it dropped sharply, and I chased it down, losing over $4,600 in that last trade. AVGO was a similar story; I kept trying to catch the bounce but kept getting burned.

Reflecting on the day, I see where I could have done better. The volume rotation was concentrated in the healthcare and biotech sectors, with BTTC and MIGI leading the charge early on. I should have respected the tape more and recognized when to step back. My average win was only $294, while my average loss was a staggering $570.73. Those numbers indicate I was holding onto losers too long and not taking my profits when I had the chance.

What I did well was identifying strong setups early in the day with BTTC. I capitalized on the initial momentum and took some decent trades. However, my execution later on was poor, particularly with MIGI and AVGO, where I let my losses spiral out of control. I also overtraded, jumping back into positions without a solid read, which contributed to my overall losses.

Trading grade: C. I had some solid entries, but my execution faltered, especially in the afternoon, leading to larger losses that overshadowed my earlier gains.

One key takeaway for tomorrow is to focus on the quality of my trades rather than the quantity. I need to stick to my plan, cut losses quickly, and avoid chasing trades that aren’t developing as I expected. Patience will be crucial.
