Session edge, AI coach verdict, and running P&L for 2026-09-29.
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) | 41 | +$1378.49 | +1.46R | +0.036R | 46.3% | 1.37 |
| − single best + single worst | 39 | +$1112.40 | +1.18R | +0.030R | 46.2% | 1.38 |
| − top 3 + bottom 3 (≈5% each tail) | 35 | +$861.89 | +0.91R | +0.026R | 45.7% | 1.44 |
Trimmed trades: Single best + single worst — removed BKYI +$1093.11 (best) · BKYI −$827.02 (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
{"dayVerdict":"BKYI was your busiest name and the day's steadiest offering: it ran +38.3% from the $3.370 open to a $4.660 high at 10:04am, then gave almost all of it back to close at $3.120, holding just -19% (a net loss versus the open by the close). You took 18 positions in it for +$882 gross, 8 wins against 10 losses, with entries split 10 before the high and 8 after — your best trade was a +$1.09k entry at 9:59am, right as the stock approached its top, and your worst was -$827 at 9:32am, on an entry 2-5% under the eventual high on the way up.
Given how much of the move BKYI surrendered into the close, extracting nearly $900 net out of it by concentrating entries around the top is a solid capture, not a name where you were fighting the move.
SDEV was the real story of the day: +139.6% from $1.640 to a $3.930 high at 12:47pm, and it held 71% of that move into the close at $3.270 — the strongest hold of any runner you traded. All 12 of your entries came before the high, and you built +$487 gross from it, 5 wins against 7 losses, with a best trade of +$287 at 12:31pm.
That's a real share of the day's biggest sustained mover, taken early rather than chased. DXST offered the largest single move of the day by far — +184.3% from $2.005 to a $5.700 high at 10:34am across 2 halts (9:33am, 10:15am) — but every one of your 7 entries came after the high, and the stock still held 28% of that move by the close at $3.040.
You finished -$101 net there, essentially flat on a name that moved almost 3x, which is the clearest opportunity-cost case of the day: XRPN (+40.5% to $17.00 at 11:59am, 3 halts) and YMT (+44% to $3.11 at 4:28am, then giving back to -39% retained) were both traded late and small for token gains of $78 and $18. SLXN moved +60% premarket at 7:18am and gave back the entire move by the close — your single entry there returned only $14, proportionate to a stock that offered nothing by the time you were in it.
Of the 9 runners on today's list, you traded 6; of the 3 you didn't touch, only 1 moved 30% or more (topping out at +32%), and that one didn't hold even half its move into the close — so today's opportunity cost outside your own names was limited. The day's shape overall was proportionate: your two largest positions, BKYI and SDEV, were also the two names offering the most (a 38% mover and a 140% mover with 71% retention), and your dollars there ($882 and $487) reflect real engagement with real moves rather than a big day traded lightly.
Looking at the trailing week's pattern, this data set is sparse on directly comparable attributes for your names, but one thing stands out: SDEV's 71% retention sits well above BKYI's -19% and DXST's 28%, and it's the one where every entry (12 of 12) came before the high rather than chasing it — a pattern worth watching given DXST and BKYI's after-the-high entries produced weaker retention.
Your playbook data shows the halt-based lanes did the separating today: the 3 positions in the validated A+ lane (2+ halts before entry, held 30 seconds or longer) made +$279, while the 6 positions in the DONT lane (2+ halts before entry, scalped under 30 seconds) cost you -$298 — both lanes drawn from your DXST trades around its 9:33am and 10:15am halts. The broader 2+ halts before entry group (9 positions, tier A) came out roughly flat at -$19, meaning the difference inside that same halt-heavy pool was entirely about hold time, not stock selection."}
