AI Review
One trade — PENG breakout swing on a B catalyst, followed the plan, stopped out. Clean process, bad luck. Sitting out the rest and letting the PLAG post-mortem breathe was the right call; the swing book is 6 free-rolling runners + 2 full-risk opens (AMZN, CRCL), edge working exactly as intended.
- Stopped-out breakout with plan intact = B, not a failure. Do not manufacture activity to 'earn back' anything.
- Book is healthy: 6 de-risked runners is the edge, not clutter. Judge heat off AMZN + CRCL only.
- Own conclusion from 08-11 (wind down small-cap shorting) is mathematically the right response — respect the 3-day pause you set.
