+$351 realized today · running day-trade P&L below

Some mornings the tape hands you clean money. Today was one of the better ones — I stuck to the pre-market gainers, took quick bites, and walked away green.

SKHU did the work

I worked SKHU (ProShares Ultra SK Hynix) — the 2x leveraged fund that tracks SK Hynix. I was in around $15.44 and out around $19.81 across 3 prints on 300 shares, for a +$225 win. Read: why a 2x fund can lose money even when your direction is right →

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

Catching EDBL

I worked EDBL (Edible Garden), in around $6.55 and out around $6.73 across 10 prints on 800 shares, for a +$143 win.

Also on the tape

Smaller pieces that netted into the day: TSLG -$17.

Add it up and it was a +$351 day. That puts my running total for this stretch at +$90. Tomorrow I reset and run it back. Read: what 890 trades looked like once I reconstructed the statement →
