Session edge, AI coach verdict, and running P&L for 2026-07-28.
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) | 36 | +$3005.92 | +4.23R | +0.117R | 45.7% | 1.81 |
| − single best + single worst | 34 | +$2426.85 | +3.41R | +0.100R | 45.5% | 1.84 |
| − top 2 + bottom 2 (≈5% each tail) | 32 | +$1851.50 | +2.60R | +0.081R | 45.2% | 1.77 |
Trimmed trades: Single best + single worst — removed STKH +$1408.87 (best) · STKH −$829.80 (worst). Top 2 + bottom 2 — removed 2 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
{"dayVerdict":"STKH was the day's defining trade and also its biggest offered move: open $1.35 to high $6.30 by 1:35pm ET, a 367% open-to-high swing that closed at $3.60, retaining 45% of the move. Two halts hit it along the way.
The trader took a real bite of that — a +1.98R fill of $1.41k at 1:50pm ET on the long side — but also ate a -1.17R loss of -$829.80 at 1:35pm ET, right at the high print, suggesting the second entry was bought into the exact top of the move before it rolled over. Net on the name is still solidly positive given the size of the move, which is the correct read: STKH offered the largest percentage swing of any runner today and the trader captured a real share of it despite one poorly timed re-entry.
AMIX was the other material win: +1.47R for $1.05k at 4:16pm ET, on a stock that only offered a 93% open-to-high move (open $2.57, high $4.96) and gave back almost all of it — 8% retained, closing at $2.75. Catching $1.05k out of a name that closed near flat by the time the tape settled is a smaller, but skillful, capture; the trade was clearly timed to the move itself rather than the eventual bleed.
Outside of these two named trades, the rest of the 36 fills were small — no other line reached even 1R in either direction — netting the day to $3.01k on a 44.4% win rate and a 2.15:1 reward-to-risk ratio, meaning the P&L was carried almost entirely by two well-timed trades against one costly slip in STKH.
Today offered outsized moves beyond what was traded: EGG ran 256% open-to-high before 10:22am ET and kept only 34% of it, DFNS moved 79% intraday holding 22%, and INLF gapped to a 73% open-to-high move by 10:33am ET while giving back 84% of it — none of these were touched. Counting only runners with 40%+ open-to-high swings, five stocks today qualified and the trader traded just one of them (STKH), leaving four sizeable moves — EGG, STFS, DFNS, INLF — unaddressed as pure opportunity cost.
Across the last week, the moves that held into the close skew toward smaller floats: DFNS on 7/27 (0.9M float) retained 43% of a 205% move, BIYA on 7/27 (1.4M float) held 39% of a 108% move, and ENTX held 77% of a 42% move — all under roughly 55M market cap. By contrast, the biggest bleeders — LVWR (-567% retained on a 6% move), FIRY (-817% on a 4% move), VIVK (-226% on 9%) — were larger-cap, larger-float names where a small open-to-high move reversed hard into a much bigger close-to-open decline.
STKH and AMIX, the two names traded today, both carry sub-1M share floats and both showed the retain-some-of-the-move behavior typical of that group (45% and 8% respectively) rather than the outright collapse seen in the bigger-float names — consistent with the pattern that small-float, high-dollar-volume runners are where today's edge showed up."}
