Recap
The day’s closed activity showed a mixed outcome. Out of the 122 trades concluded, the win rate settled at 35.2%. The average expectation per trade was negative at -1.10%, which is tempered by a profit factor of 0.36. The average winning trade realized a gain of 1.79%, while the average losing trade incurred a loss of 2.67%. Notable positive outcomes included gains on PANW (+4.10%), CRWD (+3.90%), and PLTR (+3.28%). Conversely, the losses were significant, highlighted by PAYX (-6.50%), GDDY (-5.35%), and MCD (-5.13%). 
Observations
The disparity between the average win and average loss suggests that the magnitude of the losses is disproportionately impacting the overall performance metrics. The largest recorded loss at -6.50% was substantially larger than the average gain observed. This pattern indicates that while some profitable trades were captured, the downside risk materialized with considerable force across several names. 
For Next Time
The performance review of the closed trades suggests that the downside capture mechanism was highly impactful today. The losses incurred on PAYX, GDDY, and MCD illustrate instances where the market moved against the established positions with considerable velocity. The data points toward a need to manage the variance between positive and negative outcomes more closely.
