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.

No trades.
Reflection
What I did well
no trade
What I learned
sitting on cash. No trade sitting on cash if market is indecisive. I have to only trade when risk is on. If not small size and just buying strong stocks pullback

AI Review
No trades. Market indecisive, sat on cash. Correct process for a chop day. Open book all de-risked runners or thesis-intact swings — nothing to fault on carry.
- Cash = position when tape unclear
- If must engage: half-size pullback in strong names, not fresh risk
- Book heavy on de-risked runners — let winners run, only question is exit efficiency
- Aggression 3 + energy 6 = correct restraint
