Execution Commentary
SNOW - VWAP Pull-In → Trend Trade (A+)
The template trade. Entered $122-123 right at VWAP (purple line), targeted +2 SD around $125. Early fills took profits at the target. Then price broke through +2 SD and the remaining position became a trend trade - rode the runner all the way to $129+. 12 fills, 83% win rate, PF 76.9x. This is exactly how the playbook should work: VWAP entry, band target, and when it breaks out, manage risk and stay in.
CRWV - VWAP Pull-In at the Purple Line (A+++)
Textbook A+++ execution. Entered $109.55-$109.65 right at VWAP after the gap-up settled. The chart shows price pulling directly into the purple VWAP line before bouncing. Rode it through the deviation bands to $110.76-$113.30. Last fill caught the runner above +2 SD to $113.30. 4 trades, 100% win rate, +$9.21. Only critique: could have held the first move longer, but it hit daily R2 and rejected - that exit was valid given the level.
WULF + NVDA + IBIT - Clean VWAP Band Trades
All three followed the same playbook. WULF: entered $18.55 near VWAP, rode bands to $19.18-$19.35, +$15.32. NVDA: entered $186.24 near VWAP, scaled through +1/+2 SD, zero losses, +$11.82. IBIT: entered $40.38 premarket near VWAP, systematic exits through the bands, +$18.42. The common thread: patient entries at VWAP, hold through the band traverse, take profits into strength.
TSLA - VWAP Bands, No Trend Trigger (A)
9 trades in the VWAP band range. Entries around $351-353, exits with tight risk. Never broke +2 SD so no trend trade triggered. Net +$4.28 with excellent risk management (PF 5.3x). Good discipline but the stock didn't give a trend opportunity today.
LUNR + RMSG - Off-Playbook, Off-Edge (F)
12 trades, $-21.20 P&L, zero playbook match. LUNR: 6 trades, 0% win rate, caught a falling knife with no VWAP proximity. RMSG: chased $1.46 above +2 SD for -$4.00. Neither had a VWAP pull-in setup, neither had a back$ide pattern. 100% of today's losses came from trades that didn't match any defined playbook.
Key Insight: Three Playbook Tiers
1. VWAP Pull-In: Entry VWAP to -0.5 SD, target +2 SD. This was 80% of today's trades and all the profits. 2. Trend Trade: When a pull-in breaks +2 SD, switch to risk management mode - trail stops, stay in the runner. SNOW and CRWV demonstrated this. 3. Back$ide Scalp (Bella Fade): Not used today but stays in the playbook for the right setup. The automation priority: tag every trade with entry price vs VWAP/bands at time of entry to auto-classify.
