Running P&L for 2025-12-22

Day P&L: $+1869.65 | Total R: +3.82R

Caught a nasty flush on FJET early in the day. I saw it drop sharply and thought I could catch a bounce. I entered long at 15.56, but it quickly retraced, and I had to cut it for a small loss. This was a wake-up call. The tape was showing weakness, and I didn’t respect that.

After that, I took another stab at FJET during a parabolic squeeze setup, entering at 15.18. It didn’t really move as expected, and I ended up with a tiny loss again. The stock was just chopping around midday, and I got a little impatient. I should have waited for clearer signals.

Next, I tried to catch a washout long at 14.81. The setup had potential, but it just didn’t materialize. I was down over a grand at this point. The stock didn’t hold the support I anticipated, and I had to exit at 14.39. This was a tough hit, and it showed me I was forcing trades where the market wasn’t cooperating.

I finally found some rhythm with a bull flag setup around 14.77. This trade worked out nicely, netting me a small win. It felt like the stock was finally starting to stabilize, and I managed to get in before it pushed higher. The tape was showing some strength, and I capitalized on it, exiting at 14.83.

Then came the classic breakout trade at 17.00 that worked like a charm. I managed to catch it at the right time, and it shot up to 17.35. This was one of my better trades of the day, where the stock really followed through. I felt the momentum building, and I didn’t hesitate to take it.

However, right after that, I got a bit overconfident and tried to ride the bull flag again at 17.50. The stock rejected quickly, and I lost a little. I should have recognized the signs that it was weakening; the tape was showing signs of exhaustion.

As the day wore on, I started to find my groove again with a series of successful scalp trades. I had a nice win at 17.80, where I entered and exited quickly for a solid gain. The momentum was shifting back and forth, but I managed to stay on the right side of some trades.

Late in the day, I was able to capitalize on a few more parabolic squeezes and washout longs. I had a great run from 19.00 to 19.36, pulling in a nice profit. The volume was picking up, and the action was concentrated on the upside, which gave me confidence.

But I also faced some setbacks, particularly with a couple of washout longs where I didn’t cut my losses quickly enough. I ended up taking a hit on those, and it was frustrating, especially after being in the green earlier.

Overall, I ended the day with $1869.65 in profit, which is decent considering the amount of trading I did. I executed 36 trades with a 61% win rate, but my average loss was larger than my average win. That’s something I need to tighten up.

What I did well: I executed some good scalp trades and capitalized on the strengths of the stock when the tape showed momentum. I also managed to cut my losses quickly on a few trades, preventing further damage.

What I did poorly: I overtraded at times, forcing positions when the market was choppy. I didn’t respect the tape enough on a couple of entries, which led to unnecessary losses. I also let my emotions get the better of me after some early losses, which impacted my decision-making.

Trading grade: B+. I had solid entries and a decent win rate, but I gave back too much on a few trades that I should have managed better.

Tomorrow, I need to focus on patience and let the market come to me. I can’t force trades; I need to wait for high-probability setups.
