Goals
No small-cap shorts on Day-1 parabolic / halt-and-reopen names unless the tail is bounded — long put, defined-risk spread, or don't play. First Red Day shorts are a separate playbook: allowed in shares with a defined stop.

Reminder
Long-term: Watch the conviction→size link (PROFILE §2): the disease sleeps on no-trade weeks and wakes when a cushion tempts a bigger bet — size DOWN when up.

AI Review
No trades. Sat on cash with aggression 1 after a losing streak of 1 — textbook selectivity. Book is 6 de-risked runners plus 2 full-risk swings (VG, GOOGL); heat is minimal and free-rollers need only exit management, not defense.
- Cash is a position — this is your edge, not idleness.
- Only live risk = VG + GOOGL. Know both stops cold; ignore the de-risked names for 'heat' math.
- Standing goal untouched today (no small-cap shorts on tape) — keep it that way.
- On the runners: judge exit efficiency, never trim for being numerous.
