+$275 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 AGEN

I worked AGEN (Agenus), in around $5.29 and out around $5.67 across 11 prints on 800 shares, for a +$304 win.

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

HODO: where it went wrong

I worked HODO (House of Doge), in around $1.26 and out around $1.32 across 2 prints on 608 shares, for a -$32 hit.

Add it up and it was a +$275 day. That puts my running total for this stretch at +$237. Tomorrow I reset and run it back. Read: what 890 trades looked like once I reconstructed the statement →
