Running P&L for 2025-12-24

Day P&L: $-2256.76 | Total R: -4.76R

Every time I look at FJET, it feels like a coin toss. I went long at 15.78, thinking I could catch a quick bounce. It didn't work out. I got in and out fast, but it didn’t matter; the selling pressure was too strong, and I ended up losing $372.24. This set the tone for the morning.

Next up was SOBR, which I thought had potential given the gap up of over 49%. I took a couple of shots at it, starting with a long at 2.54. It bounced a bit, giving me a small win, but then I started to get chopped up. I hit a series of sub VWAP traps, trying to catch it on the way back up. I had some decent entries, but the tape kept rejecting the moves. It felt like I was on the right track, but the market wasn’t giving me anything solid. I ended up with more losses than wins on SOBR, totaling a net loss of around $500 across several trades.

OMER was another name I tried to work with. I caught a nice move up from 16.64 to 17.00, which was a solid win, but I couldn’t sustain that momentum. I went back to SOBR, but the stock just wouldn’t cooperate. I kept trying to play the sub VWAP trap, but by the time I realized it was a losing battle, I’d already given back too much.

AMCI was a mixed bag. I had a couple of good trades early on, including a long that netted me $633, but then I got caught in a washout long that took back a significant chunk of that profit. I was chasing the move instead of waiting for confirmation, and it cost me. The tape was erratic, and although I had some decent reads, I wasn’t patient enough on the entries.

The market seemed to favor the lower-float names today, especially with SOBR and AMCI. The volume was there, but the action felt inconsistent, with quick reversals that caught me off guard. The industrial and tech sectors had their moments, but I struggled to find any sustained momentum.

What I did well today was manage some of my risk. I cut losers relatively quickly, avoiding bigger drawdowns. I also had a couple of solid trades where I executed well and took profits when I could. But what I did poorly was overtrading and letting my frustration get the better of me. I was too focused on making back losses rather than sticking to my plan.

Trading grade: C+. I had some good entries but got caught up in the noise too often, leading to more losses than I should have had.

Tomorrow, I need to focus on patience and wait for clearer setups. Less is more when the tape is choppy.
