+$59 realized today · running day-trade P&L below

Some days are just a grind. I worked my usual movers and ended within a rounding error of even.

ALAR did the work

I worked ALAR (Alarum Technologies), in around $3.05 and out around $3.10 across 34 prints on 1,100 shares, for a +$59 win.

Days like this are a reminder that the edge is in the base hits — not swinging for the fences.

Add it up and it was a +$59 day. That puts my running total for this stretch at +$474. Tomorrow I reset and run it back. Read: what 890 trades looked like once I reconstructed the statement →
