Small Cap Stocks Day Trading Journey ($25,000 Challenge)

What a day, had to be extra patient and then aggressive for the handful of setups we had.

Did quite well all day and just was scratching $2k profit. $RGLS late morning break over VWAP and halt could have put me over $3k but it didn't work out today. Just minor tweaks are needed.

Had to be super aggressive on the green candles today and flee the scene when the red candles came in.

Green attracts green and red attracts red.

Several tickers moving but not over VWAP long
$CLRO, $IONM, $TCBP, $MNMD

Exhausting day, gave back a good chunk of yesterday's big green day. Ugh, one of those days where it feels like you're always on the wrong side.

Didn't manage risk well enough today. Got stuck in maybe 4-5 bigger flushes, most could have been closed for a small scratch when the move-up stalled.

Probably no need to push it as hard as I did today but I'm trying to grow so that's what I'm doing.

Very tough day, wicky and flushy tickers. Writing is on the wall tried all I could to get above max loss but nothing worked so calling it down 30% past max.

Let's learn from our mistakes and do better tomorrow.

A bunch of duds:
$HOLO, $GXAI, $LICY, $VERI, $CLRO, $RGLS

Alright, guys, limiting my market exposure. I'm outa here. A decent green day made back a good chunk of yesterday's loss.

I need to get 10x better at risk management. So I keep my gains more often. Then I'd be having 20k+ months

Loss comes from 3 things really:

1. Hesitating OG frontside and then FOMOing once backside starts
2. Overtrading higher risk / poor quality setups usually due to #1 or just being bored cause nothing is happening.
3. Not cutting quick enough when trade stalls or goes red

Lot's of shady #PriceAction out there:
$PRST $HOLO $APM $CCTG $WIMI

Def not a day to push it. My flow on $VERB was alright today, the 6th sense. But still felt more like a day where green was luck. Happy to call it before the luck tide shifts.

Other sketchballs today:
$CDLX, $GERN, $STI, $JTAI, $GLMD

Happy weekend everyone!

Today was a battle. Was chilling at max loss for a bit and fought my way to break even but now starting to give back again. Would love to keep trading but risk is high out there so calling it.

Choppy momo continues from last week.

Biggest issue today was chasing exits. Sometimes hard to avoid especially Pre-market; best way to avoid them is to cut as soon as a ticker stalls or goes red.

This will be a focus of today's studies. All studies on YT.

Shakey to gainers:
$TPHS $VERB $GOEV $STI $WLDS
