Running P&L for 2026-02-27

Day P&L: $+712.48 | Total R: +2.19R

ONMD was a tough nut to crack right from the get-go. My first trade was a washout long, trying to catch a bounce just below the opening level. I entered at 0.998 and quickly got squeezed out at 0.995. The tape showed a lack of buying interest, and I should have recognized that earlier. Instead of waiting for a stronger signal, I jumped in too soon and ended up with a small loss of $42.55.

I went back to ONMD again, hoping for a sub VWAP trap, but it was more of a trap for me. I took several entries around the $1.03 to $1.07 range, but each time the stock just faded further, and I ended up losing another $81.55 on that attempt. The volume was there, but the selling pressure was relentless. It was clear that sellers were in control, and I should have adjusted my strategy accordingly.

XWEL was where I finally found some traction. After a couple of early losses, I managed to catch a decent bounce after entering at 1.93. I locked in a solid win of $149.51 when I exited at 1.96. The stock showed some nice momentum, and I could feel the tape shifting, which gave me more confidence. I followed it up with a much larger position at 1.95, where I rode it up to 2.08, scoring a $979.93 win. XWEL had a low float and high relative volume, which explained the volatility but also the potential for bigger moves.

Back to ONMD, I was still trying to get a feel for it. I bought in at 1.11 and got knocked out again at 1.05 for a loss of $301. This was a painful hit, especially after my success with XWEL. I was clearly overtrading ONMD, hoping to catch a reversal that just wasn’t there. Each time I thought I saw support, it just crumbled. The tape was telling me to step back, but I was stubborn.

BATL provided a brief respite. I caught the 5-minute opening range breakout, entering at 5.78 and exiting at 5.88, netting a quick $390.66. The stock had a solid setup, and the momentum was clear. I had to remind myself that not all trades would be like ONMD.

By mid-morning, I was still trying to trade ONMD and ENSC, but the results were mixed. I had some minor wins with ENSC, but overall, I was still in the red on ONMD. I kept trying to catch those sub VWAP bounces, but they just weren’t materializing. The market seemed to be favoring the healthcare sector, which had some strong moves, but I was stuck in the wrong zone.

What I did well today was recognizing when to cut my losses, especially with ONMD. I didn't hold onto my losers too long, which can be a common pitfall. I also managed to capitalize on the momentum in XWEL and BATL, which balanced out some of my earlier mistakes.

What I did poorly was definitely overtrading ONMD. I kept trying to force trades when the market was clearly not in my favor. My win rate was low, and I let the losses stack up. I should have limited my focus to the stocks that were showing clearer setups instead of spreading myself thin.

Trading grade: B+. I made some solid entries on XWEL and BATL, but I let my frustration with ONMD lead to too many unnecessary trades that hurt my overall performance.

One takeaway for tomorrow is to stick to the stocks that are trending well and avoid the ones that are choppy. Focus on quality over quantity, and let the market come to me rather than forcing trades.
