Daily Trading Report — 2025-12-15

The day began with RADX, which had gapped up significantly. I took my first entry at 16.36, looking for a bull flag setup. The tape was promising initially, but sellers quickly took control, and I had to exit at 15.37 for a loss of $2,285. The stock was volatile, showing some strength early on but ultimately faded as sellers remained aggressive, leading to a tough first trade.

Next up was IMG. I entered at 2.69, aiming for a VWAP reclaim. However, it turned into a quick rejection, and I had to cut it at 2.55, resulting in a $1,447 loss. The stock was trading heavy, and the bids were not holding up, which made it clear that the move wasn’t going to materialize as I hoped. I took another shot at IMG shortly after, entering at 2.73 with a washout long setup. I exited at 2.67 for a smaller loss of $474. The action was choppy, and it felt like I was trying to catch a falling knife.

I re-entered IMG yet again at 2.71, but it was another washout long that didn’t work out. I exited at 2.54, taking a hit of $920. The stock continued to show heavy selling pressure, making it difficult to find any reliable support. After a series of losses, I shifted my focus to AMCI, which was showing some promise in the mid-morning.

I entered AMCI at 7.29, looking for a sub VWAP trap. Unfortunately, it didn’t hold, and I exited at 7.10 for a loss of $741. The price action was choppy, and I felt like I was overtrading as I tried to chase a bounce. I then took another long at 6.79, but the stock quickly reversed, and I had to exit at 7.02, netting a small profit of $581. This trade had a decent setup, but the overall market conditions made it hard to find a sustainable move.

Later in the morning, I found some success with AMCI. I entered at 7.40 for a scalp trade, exiting at 7.83 for a profit of $1,093. This was a nice bounce off the 1m9 level, and I managed to catch the momentum as buyers stepped in. Following that, I took another washout long at 7.82, exiting at 8.12 for a solid profit of $1,194. The tape showed strength here, with bids holding up and the stock pushing higher.

As the day progressed, I continued to focus on AMCI. I entered at 8.21 and exited at 8.72 for a profit of $2,211 on yet another washout long. This trade had a much clearer setup, and the tape was favorable, showing buyers stepping in aggressively. However, I did take a loss shortly after, entering at 8.80 and exiting at 8.60 due to aggressive selling pressure, amounting to a loss of $416.

The late day saw me getting back into AMCI multiple times. I entered at 11.76 and exited at 12.28 for a profit of $802. The stock was still showing some relative strength, and I managed to catch a decent move. I continued to trade AMCI, entering at 12.81 and exiting at 13.41 for another profit of $820. The tape was more favorable during these late trades, with bids consistently holding up.

Despite the ups and downs, I ended the day with a solid profit. The focus on AMCI in the latter part of the day paid off, but the early trades were a reminder of the importance of waiting for the right setups.

What I did well: I was able to identify stronger setups later in the day and capitalize on them effectively.
What I did poorly: I overtraded early on without confirming the strength of the setups.

Trading grade: B+ — Good recovery in the latter half of the day, but early mistakes weighed heavily.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, I’ll focus on being more selective with entries.
