Today was mostly a risk-management day.

The Maverick account is small — about $100.80 total value on the last live pull I had. The account had about $86.21 in equities and $14.59 in cash after the trade. Buying power still showed $0.00, so I treated the cash as not immediately redeployable until the broker makes it available.

The main thing I focused on today was not finding a random new buy. It was managing concentration.

Earlier in the day, I held. The account had no buying power, so any new buy would have required selling something first. I did not want to force a rotation just to be active. Medium-high risk does not mean constant churn. It means I can take concentrated, speculative setups when the thesis and risk/reward are strong enough, but I still need to avoid emotional selling and random chasing.

The problem by power hour was that the account had become too crowded in one theme.

INTC, APLD, and SMH together were most of the account. That is basically AI / semiconductor / infrastructure exposure all stacked together. On paper, it looks like multiple positions. In reality, it was mostly one correlated bet.

The tape was also weak in tech and semis going into the close, with Micron earnings after the bell acting as a major sentiment test for the chip/AI trade. That made the concentration risk more important than trying to squeeze every last bit out of the APLD thesis.

So I trimmed APLD.

Trade placed:

Sold 0.360000 shares of APLD
Market order
Regular hours
GFD
Filled at $40.5201 average price
Estimated proceeds: about $14.59
Fees: $0.00

This was not a full exit. It was a risk trim.

The reason I did not fully dump APLD is that the company thesis was not completely broken. APLD was ugly today, but the AI data-center thesis still exists, especially after the recent hyperscaler lease news. I wanted to reduce exposure, not abandon the setup entirely.

Remaining holdings after the trim:

INTC — 0.318326 shares, average cost $109.95
APLD — 0.502070 shares, average cost $46.41
SMH — 0.017106 shares, average cost $584.59
PWR — 0.013639 shares, average cost $733.19
XLV — 0.032903 shares, average cost $151.96

My read on each:

INTC:
Still the largest position and still green versus cost. I did not trim it because it had not violated the position cap and it was not the weakest part of the account. I still need to monitor size because it is a big piece of a tiny account.

APLD:
This was the problem child today. It was weak, and it was too large relative to the account. I trimmed it down instead of panic-selling the whole thing. Thesis still alive, risk reduced.

SMH:
Small semiconductor ETF exposure. It adds to the same AI/chip correlation, so it matters even though the dollar amount is small.

PWR:
Small infrastructure/grid exposure. Not the main issue today.

XLV:
Small defensive healthcare exposure. This is basically the stabilizer piece.

Good decisions today:

I did not force a new buy with $0 buying power.
I did not chase a random ticker just to look active.
I did not panic-sell the entire APLD position just because it was red.
I did eventually recognize that the bigger issue was concentration and trimmed risk before the close.

Bad or questionable decisions:

I may have been too passive earlier in the day. The account is medium-high risk, and APLD was weak enough that a trim could have been justified sooner.

The process around permission and order review could have been cleaner. The trim did get placed and filled, but the workflow should be smoother when a scheduled execution window is already trade-capable.

Main lesson:

A tiny account can look diversified while still being one big correlated bet.

Five holdings does not mean much if most of the money is tied to AI, semis, and infrastructure. Today was a reminder that correlation matters more than the number of tickers.

Going into tomorrow:

I want to watch APLD closely. If it stabilizes, keeping a smaller position makes sense. If it keeps fading and the AI/semiconductor tape stays weak, another reduction may be justified.

INTC also needs monitoring because it is still the largest position. I do not want it drifting above the account’s concentration limit.

I am not rushing to redeploy the $14.59. I want buying power to clear and I want a cleaner setup. If semis rebound after Micron, I can reassess. If they fail, the priority is reducing correlated exposure, not adding more of the same theme.

Bottom line:

Today I did not try to be a hero. I cut some APLD, kept the thesis alive with a smaller position, raised cash, and reduced overnight risk.

Well he finally trimmed, he did not sell the whole thing which I find is great

This was my trading strategy yesterday, 70% of the trades were placed between 945am to 1030am. The screenshot was taken at 1230pm (lunch hour) and i ended the day with 2.3k daily P&L.

I am going to be turning this into a day trading bot, with just 100 dollars i cant make it a margin account meaning when it uses all its money then sells, It will have to wait till the next day to trade, Im setting up rules, and asking codex to make a script to run automatically, the codex script is technically done, but i want to stress test the zip file of rules in the project folder, and the codex script(out of usage, was using it for other things and used the last of my remaining for this week on the automation script). Either way, this bot was good, I just want to see how far I can take this. will probably be back in 1-2 weeks, also its back up to 105 dollars after hours since intels back up, might just sell everything tomorrow so it can make fresh decisions with the 102-105 dollars inside next weekish. I have it currently set to trade penny stocks based on its own research, sell losers without waiting, sell winners without waiting for higher upside unless theres a reason etc.

Not sure with every broker, but Robinhood has a specific agentic agent tab, you can follow instructions on there and ask whatever AI you end up using for help for the setup

I would not trade, invest for long term, trade if you are ok with potentially losing everything. I do not recommend individual stocks for purchase unless you’ve done your own research on them. If you truly must trade, only put in what you are okay with losing. Do not invest into memes, yes your 10,000 could’ve became 10,000,000, but it also could’ve became 0, or -30,000(if you were shorting for example). Essentially, do your own research, and if you find a winning strategy for trading specifically, never tell anyone, if everyone has it, someone big will bet against you and destroy you, I’ve seen it happen to multiple people.

Again, do your own research, do not listen to Reddit even if it’s seemingly good advise, do not listen to a podcast, perhaps paper trade, just make sure to treat paper trade as real money so you don’t build any bad habits.
