+$4 realized today · running day-trade P&L below

A quiet one. I ran the pre-market list, took a few small bites, and finished close to flat.

Catching ELTX

I worked ELTX (Elicio Therapeutics), in around $3.20 and out around $3.20 across 13 prints on 2,000 shares, for a +$4 win.

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

Add it up and it was a +$4 day. That puts my running total for this stretch at +$415. Tomorrow I reset and run it back. Read: what 890 trades looked like once I reconstructed the statement →
