Running P&L for 2025-12-30

Day P&L: $-867.52 | Total R: -1.93R

EKSO was my main focus today, and I saw some quick action early on. I took a long position near 8.63 based on a sub VWAP trap setup. The tape showed solid buying interest, and I was able to exit around 8.80 for a nice $702 gain. It felt good to see that momentum push through, even though I knew the stock had a small float of just over 3 million shares. It was clear there was potential for a squeeze in this environment.

I followed that with several more longs on EKSO throughout the morning. The next trade was another sub VWAP trap where I entered around 8.84 and exited near 8.99, netting another decent win of $374. My entries were clean, and I felt like I was reading the tape well. The stock was holding above VWAP, which was a good sign. However, I started to get a bit too aggressive as the price climbed.

After that, I took a few more positions, including one at 9.29 that barely moved, and I only made $11. I was trying to ride the momentum, but the stock started to show signs of fatigue. I should have recognized the shift in behavior sooner. The volume was still decent, but it felt like we were running into resistance. I hit a couple of rough patches after that, losing on trades where I was clearly forcing it.

As I continued trading EKSO, I had a significant winner at 9.92, where I rode it up to 10.39 for $1,217. That was a solid reclaim of VWAP, and the tape was showing strong buying pressure. But then I gave back a good chunk of that on a series of poorly timed entries that followed. I was trying to catch every little bounce, but the stock started to fade, and I was left holding the bag on a few positions where I should have cut losses sooner.

The midday session was particularly rough. I held a long position near 12.06 that ended up being a bull flag setup, but it failed hard, and I took a significant hit of $857. That was a tough lesson in not overstaying in positions that don’t show the strength I need to see. Each time I tried to catch a bounce, I got burned. The tape was showing signs of weakness, but I ignored it, thinking I could catch a reversal.

Shifting gears to BUUU, I had a couple of trades there as well. I saw a washout long opportunity around 16.98, and it worked out for a quick $351. The stock had a nice recovery from a dip, and the volume was decent given its lower float. However, I ended up giving back some of those gains on a couple of quick trades that didn’t pan out. I was chasing a bit and got caught in the chop, which was frustrating.

What I did well today was identifying the initial momentum in EKSO and managing to catch a few solid trades early. I executed some good entries and exits when the stock was showing strength. However, I definitely overtraded later in the day, which led to a lot of unnecessary losses. I let my emotions take over and chased trades instead of sticking to my plan.

Trading grade: B+. I had some strong entries and decent winners, but I gave back too much on the back end. I need to focus on cutting losses quickly and avoiding the temptation to chase.

Tomorrow, I’ll focus on being more selective with my entries and not forcing trades when the tape shows signs of weakness. I need to remember that patience pays off.
