Jul 10, 2026: a small red day, -$20, on StablecoinX

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

USDE bit me

I worked USDE (StablecoinX), in around $2.03 and out around $2.04 across 13 prints on 3,000 shares, for a -$78 hit.

I don't mind losing on a clean read. What stings is letting a single name run bigger than any of my winners. That's a discipline problem, not a market problem.

Catching ELAB

I worked ELAB (PMGC Holdings), in around $1.26 and out around $1.29 across 5 prints on 2,000 shares, for a +$63 win.

SPCE: where it went wrong

I worked SPCE (Virgin Galactic), selling into ~$2.57 across one print on 950 shares, for a -$47 hit. Read: the position I did nothing with for six weeks, and what it paid →

Also on the tape

Smaller pieces that netted into the day: HODO +$42.

Add it up and it was a -$20 day. That puts my running total for this stretch at -$38. I'll reset, size down, and try to give it back slower than I lost it. Read: my actual strategy, and the three places it breaks →
