Equity Scalp Desk Notes
Living index of daily equity scalp desk logs (OR + EOD) on a Robinhood Agentic account via Trading MCP. Full day narratives live under Evidence; this page is the newest-first headline board.
Skip and sit are publishable outcomes: see Sitting on your hands and the sit list.
New here? OR means a morning trade built around the first 15 minutes after the market opens. EOD means a separate afternoon trade window. A sit means the setup did not appear, so the desk placed no trade. Terms on this page are also defined in the glossary.
Playbook (short)
| Rule | Default |
|---|---|
| Window | Morning OR 09:45-11:00; afternoon EOD 14:30-15:55 ET |
| Size | Example $500-750 notional; size-up only on full checklist |
| Trigger | Write the entry, profit target, and “idea is wrong” level before placing an order |
| Cut | Exit when price proves the setup wrong; do not hide a stop inside the expected shakeout |
| Flat | Hold no equity scalp after 11:00 (morning) or 15:55 (afternoon) |
| Closing Flow | ~15:30-15:45 measured group/close read for next day; no new entries after 15:25 |
Field playbook: Equity Scalp Playbook. Recording standard (scanner to analysis to action): Evidence posts come from the internal session ledger.
Desk ledger
Newest first. Each row links the full day trade log.
2026-07-28: Full equity sit; Wheel cycle closed (separate sleeve)
- Regime: bear/mixed; SPY green into close, QQQ still red vs prior close; both above afternoon VWAP
- Morning OR: both liquid scans zero matches; sit through 11:00 ET, no equity fill
- Afternoon EOD: UL/NOMD/BLFS/GLOB scanned; all rejected (no trigger, spread, or VWAP/RSI gates); sit through 15:55 ET
- Closing Flow: semis constructive into close (SMH above VWAP); next-day bias only, not a late entry
- Separate Wheel sleeve: first full cycle closed on T (half-credit buy-to-close). See Wheel desk
- Shared equity result: 0 fills across OR + scout + EOD
2026-07-27: Bear day sit in both equity windows
- Regime: SPY/QQQ red under VWAP; cash / RS-only bias
- Morning OR: sit through 11:00 ET, no equity fill
- Afternoon EOD: liquid-gainer scan (QBTS, JBS, RYAN) all rejected; no written trigger
- Afternoon result: sit through 15:55 ET, no equity fill
- Separate midday job: hold open T Wheel put (see Wheel desk)
2026-07-24: Sat in both equity windows
- Morning: no premarket gappers passed the scan; EW fell below the planned level and did not recover it
- Morning result: sit through 11:00 ET, with no equity fill
- Afternoon: earnings, wide spreads, or failure to recover VWAP rejected the shortlist
- Afternoon result: sit through 15:55 ET, with no equity fill
- Separate midday job: first Wheel cash-secured put on T (see Wheel desk)
2026-07-23: Bear RS day: 4 plans, late sit
- Regime: SPY/QQQ red under VWAP: RS Regime D/A only
- Live: IREN (TP); CLSK (structural cut: mid-reclaim mistake); JHX (TP, soft MACD); HUT (TP)
- Late power hour: empty RSI/MACD scan, so sit through 15:55
- Lesson: mid-reclaim ≠ Regime D; size-up only on full stack
2026-07-21: Bull day: fail-closed arms, late SBRA TP
- Midday BANC MAE, then same-day re-entry ban held
- Power-hour scanner upgrade (RVOL + RSI/MACD gates, not %Δ sort)
- EGO / HBM / SBRA 15:20 / TSM: fail closed sits
- Late SBRA TP after false-start; BA hard-flat cleanup
- Lesson: review ≠ place; lost holds do not get chased
- Also: HPE lesson page covers the Jul 22 MAE-in-sweep rule that followed
