| TSLA S1 | +4.05% | -0.26% | Signal: Right — the bearish call played out, with TSLA falling from the 364.27 fill to 355.39 and the position never more than -0.26% against it, so the direction was correct and the entry was essentially at the local high. Timing: Not stale — the fill was above the prior close (362.47) despite the -0.86% last-30m dip seen at decision time, so the move had not already happened; the short got in before the decline rather than chasing it. Exit: Partial capture — the +17.76 USD exit equals about +2.4% on 2 shares, versus +4.05% best unrealized, so roughly 40% of the available move was given back before closing. Dominant factor: a correct signal with a good entry, undercut only by an exit that left a meaningful slice of the move on the table; the journal doesn't say what triggered the exit, so whether that giveback was rule-driven or reversal-driven can't be determined from this data. |
