Recap
The session saw a moderate number of closed trades, totaling 147. The overall performance metrics indicate a win rate of 42.2%, with an expectancy of +0.03% per trade. The average winning trade generated a gain of 2.21%, which was notably larger than the average loss of -1.57%. The best single outcome recorded was a gain of 12.72% on AMZN, and the most significant drawdown was -22.37% on GDDY. The notable wins, including AMZN, MPWR, and GOOGL, suggest capturing meaningful upside when the market structure supported it 
.
Lessons from Drawdowns
The trades that resulted in losses, such as GDDY and COIN, highlighted the impact of rapid, directional moves against the prevailing trend. These instances underscore that even when the setup appears sound, the magnitude of adverse movement can quickly erode gains. The disparity between the best and worst outcomes—a 12.72% gain versus a 22.37% loss—suggests that risk management remains a critical focal point, even when the overall expectancy is positive 
.
Observation
The positive profit factor of 1.03 suggests that the gains are only marginally outpacing the losses across the sampled trades. While the positive average win size relative to the average loss size is encouraging, the overall picture points toward a pattern where capturing large wins requires careful navigation through periods of substantial downside volatility
