+$216 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 ERNA

I worked ERNA (Ernexa Therapeutics), in around $8.93 and out around $9.65 across 14 prints on 300 shares, for a +$216 win.

Add it up and it was a +$216 day. That puts my running total for this stretch at -$256. Tomorrow I reset and run it back. Read: what 890 trades looked like once I reconstructed the statement →
