Session edge, AI coach verdict, and running P&L for 2026-09-22.
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) | 68 | +$4558.03 | +5.42R | +0.080R | 45.6% | 1.52 |
| − single best + single worst | 66 | +$2710.05 | +3.22R | +0.049R | 45.5% | 1.36 |
| − top 4 + bottom 4 (≈5% each tail) | 60 | +$1682.05 | +2.00R | +0.033R | 45.0% | 1.32 |
Trimmed trades: Single best + single worst — removed JAGX +$2999.17 (best) · DCOY −$1151.19 (worst). Top 4 + bottom 4 — removed 4 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
JAGX was your best-priced trade of the day even though the market pack has no open/high/close for it: across 18 positions from 12:41pm to 4:27pm you took +$5.53k gross against a stock that halted 8 times (12:06pm through 2:54pm), all 18 of your entries coming after the first halt. Your single largest win, +$3.00k, came at 12:41pm holding for 976 seconds through a 2-3-halt window — the kind of duration this stock rewarded.
ZEO, by contrast, is a clean case of catching real distance but not much of it: it ran from $0.3478 to $0.7293 (+109.7%) by 10:16am and still closed +40.8% over the open, keeping 37% of the move, while your 9 positions produced +$1.21k with 7 of 9 entries coming before that high — you were positioned early in the day's second-biggest mover and only cashed a fraction of what was available. DCOY was the opposite problem: it opened $5.150, spiked to $7.610 (+47.8%) by 9:41am, then collapsed to $3.100, giving back the entire move and then some (-83% retained), and your 11 positions there, concentrated in the first 20 minutes, netted just +$580 with your single worst loss of the day, -$1.15k at 9:32am, right at the start of that collapse.
GRML was the day's costliest miss: it opened $13.70, ran to $18.21 (+32.9%) by 11:19am, then gave back nearly all of it to close +3.3% over the open (10% retained), and across 10 positions — 7 of them entered before the 11:19am high — you lost $3.06k gross, with your worst single loss, -$936, coming at 11:02am inside that run-up. LHSW gave back its entire move and more (open $1.270, high $1.560 at 9:18am, close $0.8891, -100% retained) and your 9 positions there were roughly flat at -$49, while CWD and FLNA were smaller, low-conviction trades in stocks that themselves only held 32% and 14% of their moves respectively.
At the day level this was a day where the two names that gave back their entire moves (DCOY, LHSW) cost you a combined -$1.2k in concentrated early entries, while the one name whose day shape isn't even priced in the data (JAGX) carried the whole session with +$5.53k on halt-driven volatility. Of the 11 runners tracked today, you traded 8; of the 3 you skipped, 2 moved +30% or more from the open (largest +43.1%) and neither held even half of that move into the close — modest opportunity cost, since those two untraded movers were themselves fade-prone.
Across the trailing week, the pattern in retention keeps favoring stocks whose highs came inside the first 30-60 minutes and that also carried repeated halts: on 9/16 alone, three separate names with 21, 31, and 8 halts each still held 27-38% of moves as large as +370%, +336%, and +361% respectively, while several low-halt names that spiked and reversed before 10am gave back the entire move, closing at -100% retained. Your own names split along exactly that line — DCOY and LHSW, both zero-to-one-halt movers with sub-9:45am highs, gave back their entire runs, while JAGX, the most halt-heavy name you traded (8 halts), was your best-performing position by far.
Your own validated lanes size this precisely: the 15 positions held 30 seconds or longer after 2+ halts before entry made +$4.11k today against an historical A+ tier of +11.1 per $1k, and the 9 positions entered within 2 minutes of a halt resume made +$4.25k against a validated +3.9 per $1k tier — both lanes point directly at JAGX. Against that, the 19 positions scalped under 30 seconds after 2+ halts lost -$1.47k today (DONT tier, -3.4 per $1k), and the 10 sub-$1 scalps held under 30 seconds cost -$455 (DONT tier, -4.2 per $1k) — both patterns concentrated in your DCOY and GRML entries this session.
