A qualitative run-through of every trade from 2026-03-13: setups, thought process, and outcomes.
I took a shot at MEHA early, entering at 0.3144. The stock had gapped up and was showing some promise, but after a brief move, it quickly faded. My best exit was at 0.3256, but I ended up cutting for a loss at 0.2941. The tape was choppy; it initially looked like it might hold the 1m9 at 0.2995, but sellers stepped in aggressively, pushing it down. I should have read the selling pressure better and cut earlier.
Next up was ELPW, where I entered at 5.41. This was another scalp attempt, and I was looking for a quick bounce after it had pulled back. At entry, it was near the 1m9 at 5.28, but it didn’t hold. I was hoping for a reversal, but it just kept fading. I exited at 5.14, with my best exit being 5.33. The volume wasn’t there to support a bounce, and I misjudged the strength of the sellers — they were staying heavy, which kept the price down.
Looking at the broader market, healthcare names like BIAF and MEHA were active, each with significant volume rotation. BIAF had a massive gap and traded like a thin name, pulling in lots of attention. Meanwhile, PRZO in the aerospace sector was also on my radar. It showed some strength early but ultimately struggled to maintain its momentum. The industrials sector seemed to be a mixed bag, with ELPW not finding its footing as expected.
Overall, I had a tough day with 27 trades, but I stayed engaged and focused on the setups. The healthcare sector was volatile, and while I thought I could catch a bounce, it just didn’t materialize the way I anticipated. I need to sharpen my entries and exits, especially in this type of environment where the tape can flip quickly.
What I did well: I maintained focus throughout the day and managed to execute quickly.
What I did poorly: I misread the selling pressure on both MEHA and ELPW, leading to late exits.
Trading grade: C — I struggled with execution and timing in a volatile market.
Tomorrow's a new day; let’s see what the market brings.
