The opening two minutes did most of the day's work
Apple came out of the gate against a heavy gap-down tape and gave our desk its cleanest work of the morning — a short into the opening spike, scaled out in pieces, then two long re-entries built the same way, half on, add on the pullback, out in thirds. Meta was the slower fight: a first long stopped for the session's only loss, then a re-entry at a better level that scaled out through several targets before the runner came back to a break-even stop. The morning's honest regret on the desk was sizing, not selection.

The recap is being cut now.
1h 09m of live session, coming down to the parts worth your time. It appears on this page when it is ready, and the link you already have will keep working.
From the room
“You start to get addicted to the rush of the entries, and it's a huge huge slippery slippery slope.”
Why chasing the rush of every entry is a slippery slope — and why patience wins the record.
The morning in figures
Net points are per share. Apply your own size to get your own number: at 1,000 shares, 1.79 points is $1,790.00. At 100 shares it is $179.00. At one share it is $1.79. The desk publishes the move, not a dollar result, because the dollars depend entirely on how you size, and that is your decision rather than ours.
Every trade called that morning
Losers included. Rows with more than one leg were scaled out; open any row to see each exit.
