Session edge, AI coach verdict, and running P&L for 2026-08-06.
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) | 61 | +$2421.81 | +3.49R | +0.057R | 44.3% | 1.31 |
| − single best + single worst | 59 | +$1416.80 | +2.04R | +0.035R | 44.1% | 1.21 |
| − top 4 + bottom 4 (≈5% each tail) | 53 | +$303.82 | +0.44R | +0.008R | 43.4% | 1.07 |
Trimmed trades: Single best + single worst — removed CLRO +$1988.62 (best) · CELZ −$983.60 (worst). Top 4 + bottom 4 — removed 4 from each tail (by $ P&L).
Top-heavy green session: most of the P&L came from a handful of outsized trades; the broader distribution was only modestly plus-EV. Real but concentrated edge.
Session verdict
{"dayVerdict":"WYHG was the biggest mover of the session by a wide margin — open $8.26 to a high of $26.17 at 11:31am ET, a 216.8% open-to-high swing that gave back almost everything, closing at $9.83 for just 9% retention. The trader worked this one four separate times for a net of about +$1,217 (+$1.07k at 10:21am, a pair of losses totaling -$1,653 at 10:44am, and the single best trade of the day, +$1.80k, at 11:21am, close to the eventual peak).
That's a real, positive share of a move that ultimately erased itself for anyone still long into the close — the entries and exits threaded a name that mostly punished holders. CLRO offered a smaller but still substantial move, open $11.685 to a high of $17.50 (49.8%) that later fully reversed to a close of $9.80, a -32% retention reading; the trader's only fill was a long at 9:30am for +$1.99k (+2.87R), taken well before the reversal and the best single trade of the day in dollar terms.
CELZ is the clean opposite case: open $1.14 to a high of $1.75 at 11:01am (+53.5%), closing back at $1.15 for just 2% retention — a stock that gave essentially nothing back to anyone who held. Both CELZ trades were entered at 11:01am, the exact minute of the high, for a combined -$1,733.10; the losses look less like a misread of the stock's character and more like buying the top of a move that was always going to bleed out, matching the stock's own retention profile.
At the day level, three names carried real range — WYHG's 216.8% swing, CELZ's 53.5%, CLRO's 49.8% — and the trader's material fills in them netted to roughly +$1,473, with the remaining ~$950 of the day's $2.42k total coming from the other 54 smaller positions. That's a day where the trading matched the moves reasonably well on the two biggest names (WYHG, CLRO) but gave back ground on the one that was always going to fade (CELZ).
Six other runners today moved 50% or more from the open — NAMI (+147.5%), BYAH (+146.3%), LBGJ (+119.1%), AZI (+111.5%), YXT (+81.2%, premarket high at 4:04am), and ENSC (+55.2%) — and none were traded, which is the opportunity cost sitting outside today's P&L.
Looking across the last week's runners, the ones that made their high before 9:00am ET were almost uniformly bleeders into the close: SURG (-115% retained), VSEE (-143%), TNMG (-138%), DFNS on 8/3's premarket high (-122%), KUST (-93%), BJDX (-80%), LESL (-100%), and PAVS (-86%) all gave back the entire move and then some. By contrast, names whose highs came from mid-morning into the afternoon and sat under 2 million shares of float held far more of their gains — DFNS on 8/3 (0.9M float, 68% retained), AMIX on 8/4 (1M float, 73% retained), and PN on 7/30 (1.3M float, 91% retained).
CLRO (2.7M float) doesn't fit that holder group despite an afternoon-adjacent high near 5:53pm — it still bled to -32%, and WYHG (12.6M float) and CELZ (6.6M float) both sit well above the sub-2M-float cluster that held best this week, landing instead with the fader group despite their mid-morning highs. In other words, the three names the trader actually traded today were all closer in character to the week's bleeders than to its holders, which makes the positive net on WYHG and CLRO look more like good timing within a fading move than a case of picking a stock built to hold."}
