A qualitative run-through of every trade from 2026-03-10: setups, thought process, and outcomes.
Today started with a solid move in ATPC, which was on my radar due to its low float and high relative volume. I spotted it gapping up right at the open, so I looked for an entry on a quick scalp. My first entry was at 4.31, and the stock immediately showed strength, moving up to 4.63 for my best exit. The tape was clean, with buyers stepping in aggressively, pushing it higher. That trade netted me a nice gain of $661, and it felt good to catch that momentum early.
Next up was DXST, which I traded a little later in the morning. I took my initial entry at 0.3919, right near the 1-minute 9 EMA, which was holding as support. The tape was a bit choppy at first, but there was enough buying interest to push it up to 0.4142 for my average exit. I saw some profit-taking pressure but managed to lock in $323. It was a classic scalp; quick, but I had to stay alert as the stock was testing resistance levels.
Throughout the day, the healthcare sector was particularly active, with names like ATPC and DXST being the standouts. The biotech industry was buzzing, and I noticed that some stocks were moving with high volatility, likely due to news affecting the sector. The overall market had a mixed tone, but these names were holding up well, with buyers showing strength against the broader backdrop.
As I looked at the other names on my watchlist, I noticed SGN and LGVN were also drawing attention, but I was selective. SGN had a decent setup but didn’t quite give me the entry I wanted. The tape was a bit more erratic, and I didn’t want to force anything. Instead, I focused on the names that were providing clearer signals.
Overall, I executed a total of 84 trades today. While I had more losers than winners, I was able to stay disciplined and cut my losses quickly when things didn’t go my way. I think I did well in identifying the right setups, but I could have been more decisive in managing some of my smaller trades. There were a few moments where I hesitated, and that cost me some potential profits.
What I did well: Captured solid gains on ATPC and DXST with clear setups.
What I did poorly: Hesitated on several smaller trades, leading to missed opportunities.
Trading grade: B – Good execution on key trades, but need to tighten up on smaller positions.
Looking ahead, I’ll be watching for any continuation in the healthcare sector and looking to capitalize on the volatility.
