Session edge, AI coach verdict, and running P&L for 2026-06-24.
Trim Review
How much of today's result was carried by a few outliers? The table recomputes the core session stats with the biggest movers removed. Trimmed rows are colored vs baseline: green = holds most of the move, amber = meaningful erosion, red = collapses or flips sign.
| Scenario | Trades | Net P&L | Total R | E[R] / trade | $ WR | PF |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baseline (all trades) | 55 | +$798.61 | +0.66R | +0.012R | 57.4% | 1.10 |
| − single best + single worst | 53 | +$926.10 | +0.77R | +0.014R | 57.7% | 1.14 |
| − top 3 + bottom 3 (≈5% each tail) | 49 | +$1174.32 | +0.97R | +0.020R | 58.3% | 1.25 |
Trimmed trades: Single best + single worst — removed PLSM +$1307.71 (best) · BOXL −$1435.20 (worst). Top 3 + bottom 3 — removed 3 from each tail (by $ P&L).
Broad green session: still clearly green after trimming the biggest movers, so the day was a stack of small plus-EV decisions compounding — not a few home runs.
Session verdict
The biggest intraday move of any runner today belonged to BOXL — open $3.77 to an $8.42 high at 12:04pm, a +123.3% run on a 0.6M-share float with 6 halts marking how much range was on offer — and you were long it twice, at 11:13am and again at 12:22pm, the second after that high had already set. BOXL closed at $4.08, keeping only 7% of the move, an almost complete round-trip, and the two positions cost you $1.24k and $1.44k.
That is the defining fact of the day: you put real money into the single largest mover and lost $2.68k on it because the position sat into and past the high while the stock handed back everything it had given.
PLSM is where you got paid. It gapped 206.5% and ran +86.8% from a $10.45 open to a $19.52 high at 7:22am on $604M traded, then bled the rest of the session to a $8.42 close — below the open, a negative retention.
Your long at 7:21am, right as that early thrust was peaking, returned +$1.31k, the only position above +1R in the book of 55. The read there was correct: you took the premarket push and didn't stay to fight the fade.
Net the day came to +$798.61, but that figure is almost entirely PLSM's win minus BOXL's two losses — everything else roughly washed.
Four other runners today moved +30% or more and you traded none of them, so the opportunity set was wider than the two names you committed to. This was a session thick with outsized moves, and you split the two largest: the early-topping one taken cleanly, the midday one fought as it bled lower.
On timing, the morning again did the work — +$1.08k in the 9:30–10:00am window and +$950 at an 83% win rate in 10:30–11:00am — and your 10:00–10:30am window remains your most dependable across the trailing month, green on 14 of 19 days for +$22.3k, so leaning into that early block is consistent with where your results actually sit.
Across the last two weeks the cleanest divide was the timing of the high: of roughly 29 runners that made their highs before 8:00am ET, about 25 closed holding under a fifth of the move — premarket spikes overwhelmingly bled — while the handful that kept 40%+ mostly set their highs after 10:00am. Both names you traded sit on the fader side of that line.
PLSM topped at 7:22am and gave back the entire move, which is precisely why taking the early push and stepping aside was the right call. BOXL was the unusual case of a midday high at 12:04pm that still bled to 7% retention; being long into and past it was treating a fader as if it were a holder.
The PLSM handling shows you already know the premarket-topper script cold — BOXL is where applying that same expectation would have saved most of the $2.68k.
