A qualitative run-through of every trade from 2026-02-26: setups, thought process, and outcomes.
I caught a nice move on AEHL today that really helped boost my P&L. Early on, I saw the potential for a parabolic squeeze, which was exactly what happened. I entered at 1.16 and it quickly gained momentum, allowing me to exit at 1.28 for a solid profit of $487. The tape showed strong buying interest right off the bat, with bids holding up and offers getting out of the way. It was clear that the buyers were ready to take control, and I was able to ride that wave effectively.
After that, I took another position in AEHL later in the day at 1.65. This trade was more of a scalp, and I exited at 1.71 for a profit of $303. The name had already shown it could move, and I was looking for a quick in-and-out. The action was choppy as it hit resistance, but I managed to capitalize on a brief uptick. I was able to read the tape well here; when it pushed back above that 1.65 level, I knew I had a chance to take some profit before any potential reversal.
Overall, the market had a mixed vibe today with a lot of focus on the real estate and industrial sectors. ALBT and AEHL were both in play, and their movements were pretty indicative of the broader market sentiment. ALBT, in particular, had a significant gap and was trading like a thin name, which attracted a lot of attention. The volume was decent, but it felt more like a day for scalping than holding longer positions.
SBEV and QH were quieter, showing less volatility and not really providing the setups I was looking for. It was interesting to see how the action shifted between these names, especially with the lower float stocks like AEHL and ALBT taking center stage. The aggressive buying in those stocks contrasted with the more subdued action in others, which tells me where traders' interests were concentrated.
Reflecting on my performance, I executed well on the trades that mattered, especially the parabolic squeeze on AEHL. My timing was decent, though I did have a few trades that didn’t pan out as planned, leading to some unnecessary losses. I need to tighten up my entries on those less clear setups in the future.
What I did well: Identified a strong setup in AEHL and executed well.
What I did poorly: Had a few trades that didn’t follow through, leading to losses.
Trading grade: B+ — Good execution on key trades, but need to refine my entries on less clear setups.
Looking forward to seeing how the market opens tomorrow and if these names can keep the momentum.
