+$411 realized today · running day-trade P&L below

Green day. I ran my usual pre-market playbook — small, cheap names that pop on the open — and for once the exits lined up with the entries.

Catching USDE

I worked USDE (StablecoinX), in around $2.04 and out around $2.43 across 6 prints on 1,000 shares, for a +$390 win.

Nothing heroic here, and that's the point. Take the move, book it, move on.

Add it up and it was a +$411 day. That puts my running total for this stretch at +$411. Tomorrow I reset and run it back. Read: what 890 trades looked like once I reconstructed the statement →
