Maverick EOD recap for June 23.

Today was mostly a hold/rotation day, not a force-a-trade day.

The market opened weak, especially around AI, semiconductors, and high-beta tech. That mattered because Maverick already had exposure there through INTC, APLD, and SMH. The first few checks showed a broad sector selloff rather than a clean company-specific breakdown, so the correct first move was patience. No panic sell, no random trim, and no tech dip-buy.

At the open, the account was red with the rest of the tape, but it improved during the morning. That supported holding instead of selling into the weakest part of the move. INTC and SMH stayed green versus cost, APLD recovered from early weakness and later turned green on the day, and PWR was weak but not broken enough to justify cutting. Nothing triggered a clean sell rule.

Overall stats from the day:

Account: Maverick cash account
Starting posture: holding INTC, APLD, SMH, PWR
Ending posture: holding INTC, APLD, SMH, PWR, XLV
Buying power before trade: $5.00
Buying power after trade: $0.00
Last checked account value: about $106.87
Orders placed: 1
Orders filled: 1
Open orders: none
Sells: 0
Trims: 0
New buy: XLV
XLV buy size: $5.00
XLV fill: about 0.032903 shares at about $151.96
Trade type: small defensive rotation
Main avoided mistake: adding more tech/semiconductor exposure into a weak tape

I also did not add to tech. That was intentional. Lower prices alone were not enough. The whole AI/semi group was under pressure, and adding to the same exposure would have increased correlation in the weakest part of the market. Maverick already had enough of that theme.

The one action taken was a $5 XLV buy. That used the remaining buying power and moved cash to $0. XLV was chosen because healthcare was showing defensive relative strength while QQQ, SMH, and semis were weak. XLV was already on the scan/watchlist, it was tradeable, and the order review came back with no broker alerts. It was not a huge conviction trade. It was a small defensive rotation using leftover cash.

No trims were made because the account is small and none of the current holdings had a strong enough reason to reduce. Fractional trims just to “do something” can create noise. A trim would have needed a clearer trigger: thesis break, major late-day failure, position-specific weakness, or a better use of cash. That was not present.

No sells were made because the weakness looked broad and sector-driven, not like an individual-position failure. Selling may become valid later if tech weakness turns into a multi-day rotation or if APLD/PWR break down further, but today’s information did not justify exiting.

Final read: Maverick ended the day fully invested, with a small new defensive healthcare piece added through XLV. The main win was discipline. No panic-selling, no chasing semis lower, no overtrading. The XLV buy helped balance the account slightly, but the bigger decision was what did not happen: no forced trades just because the screen was moving.

Going into the next check, Maverick should watch whether semis stabilize, whether APLD can hold its recovery, whether PWR continues to lag, and whether XLV keeps showing relative strength.

I’m getting really curious if Maverick even knows how to trim or sell lol. I wouldn’t have sold or trimmed either but until he does so once. Just the way he’s been talking the last couple days thought he would’ve trimmed intel by now.

Maverick EOD Summary — June 18, 2026

I ran today’s Maverick scheduled workflow around the 3:10 PM ET power-hour window, then turned it into an end-of-day style review. The important point: I did not place a trade today. The account stayed in hold mode.

The live account check showed Maverick was already nearly fully invested. Total account value was about $108, with only about $5 in buying power. Current positions were INTC, APLD, SMH, and PWR. There were no open equity orders and no equity orders from today. So this was not a situation where I had a lot of cash to deploy or any pending order that needed cleanup.

The strongest part of the account today was clearly the semiconductor / AI-adjacent exposure. INTC was the standout winner, up sharply on the day and sitting on a solid unrealized gain. SMH was also working well as broad chip exposure. That gave me a real reason to hold the existing winners rather than force a trim too early. At the same time, Maverick already has a lot of chip exposure through INTC, APLD, and SMH, so adding more late in the day would have increased concentration without enough extra edge.

That was the key decision point. The tape looked supportive for chips, but the account was already positioned for that theme. Buying more would have been more emotional than tactical. With only $5 of buying power, any new buy would have been tiny and probably not worth the added complexity. The better move was to respect the positions that were already working.

I also looked at whether trimming INTC made sense. That was the closest call of the day. INTC had a big move and had become the largest position, but it was still under the single-position cap I use for Maverick. The catalyst and momentum were still intact, so I did not trim it. I would rather monitor it into the next workflow than cut it just because it is up.

APLD and PWR were the weaker pieces. APLD was slightly red but not broken enough to justify selling. PWR was also weak, but the position size was small, and there was no urgent rule-based reason to exit. Both stay on watch. If either one continues to lag while the rest of the account has better opportunities, they may become funding candidates later.

The Agentic Scan watchlist was maintained with no changes. The list stayed focused on the current themes: semiconductors, AI infrastructure, energy/oil, healthcare, and broad market ETFs. No watchlist write was needed today.

Final decision: hold INTC, hold SMH, hold APLD, hold PWR, stay cash with the remaining $5, and do not force a new trade.

Overall, I think today was a good discipline test. The easy mistake would have been chasing the chip strength after the move already happened. Maverick was already exposed to that move, so the better execution was to let the winners work, avoid overtrading, and save the next decision for a cleaner setup.

No order placed. No broker rejection. No failed trade attempt. No stale open orders found. Current posture: hold, monitor INTC concentration, watch APLD/PWR lag, and reassess at the next scheduled workflow.

## Maverick Trading Experiment — June 10 Recap

Today was a no-trade day.

No buys, no sells, no order reviews, no queued orders, and no fills. The account stayed in the same two positions:

- APLD: 0.862070 shares, avg $46.40

- INTC: 0.318326 shares, avg $109.95

- Buying power: about $25

The main market theme was clear all day: energy/oil worked, while tech, AI, and semis were weak.

I looked at XLE and USO multiple times because they were the strongest names on the board. XLE was probably the closest thing to a reasonable trade because it is diversified and had a cleaner spread than USO. But the move was already extended and driven by geopolitical oil headlines, so buying it felt more like chasing than taking a clean setup.

With only about $25 buying power, I decided chasing that move did not make sense.

APLD was the uncomfortable part of the day. It stayed weak and is still well below the $46.40 entry. I held it because the original AI data-center lease/backlog thesis was not clearly invalidated. The trade is underwater, and yesterday’s entry still looks bad, but today’s weakness looked more like broader AI/tech risk-off pressure than a specific APLD thesis failure.

INTC was also held. It was weak with semis earlier, then improved later. I did not see a clean sell signal there either.

The only real change was to Agentic Scan. I removed SMCI after the midday check. It stayed deeply weak after its financing/dilution news, and keeping it on the scan felt like it would just tempt a bad dip-buy. Removing it made the watchlist cleaner.

Current Agentic Scan:

- MU

- MRVL

- SMH

- USO

- ORCL

- AAPL

- LLY

- XLE

- XLV

- QQQ

- SPY

Biggest lessons:

- No trade can be the right trade.

- Strong sector does not automatically mean good entry.

- Weak position does not automatically mean sell.

- APLD is still a problem position, but not thesis-broken yet.

- SMCI was stale/damaged and needed to go.

- Watchlist maintenance actually happened today, which was an improvement.

Current stance: hold APLD, hold INTC, keep cash, keep the cleaned-up scan, and reassess tomorrow.

(end)

(my note)

I will probably edit the rule package tomorrow. The changes will likely be small tweaks to how it speaks, gathers information, and uses the information it gets. I will try not to change the rules in a way that forces it into decisions it would never have made originally.

Day 1 of the Maverick experiment.

I started with $100.00 in a fresh Robinhood cash account and let the AI manage it under a rule set I gave it.

This was the first live trading day. Maverick started with a Monday watchlist focused on semis/AI, big tech, energy, healthcare, and broad-market direction. The main names it was watching were:

SMCI, MU, MRVL, SMH, USO, ORCL, AAPL, LLY, XLE, XLV, QQQ, SPY

It did not buy at 9:30. It checked the open, waited for the market to settle, and then looked for a cleaner post-open setup.

Around the 10:15 check, Maverick picked INTC even though it was not one of the main watchlist names. The main reason was that semis were leading, and Intel had fresh news around Google reportedly ordering Intel-made TPUs and Nvidia evaluating Intel technology. The AI treated that as a more direct catalyst than just buying the broader chip ETF or one of the other watchlist names.

The frustrating part: when I tried approving Maverick’s order, the chat/tool flow kept erroring out. I had to open a new chat to finally get the order reviewed and submitted. Because of that, the buy happened about 20–30 minutes later than intended. That delay made a huge difference. Based on where Maverick was trying to enter, the trade probably could have been up around 1.5–3.5%+ by the end of the day, but the actual fill came later.

Trade made:

Bought $35.00 of INTC
0.318326 shares @ $109.95
Fees: $0.00

No sells today.

End-of-day / after-close snapshot:

Day 1: $100.07
P/L: +$0.07 / +0.07%
After-hours: -$0.01 / -0.01%
Position: 0.318326 shares INTC
Cash/buying power: $65.00

Maverick held INTC through the midday and power-hour checks. It looked at making another buy, but skipped it because most of the stronger setups were in the same semis/AI theme and would have added too much correlated risk.

Main takeaway from Day 1: it waited instead of buying the open, made one small trade, stayed within position sizing, and ended basically flat/slightly green. The biggest issue was execution friction, not the original trade idea.

Tomorrow should be a cleaner test. I’m keeping everything in one chat so the watchlist, trade decision, order, and recap are more detailed and easier to follow.

Started a couple weeks ago, got consistent work, during the dry spell still had 3-7 tasks, back to 11-25 with some hours of the day going down to 6-10. Get 20-50 an hour, work, mostly do the 26 an hour, 35, and 40 an hour one, won’t name the project but it was for R&R of the projects.

So onto the main point, I mostly do R&R tasks, and just today I seen a new project I’ve never done before, but no real work for it, just an R&R task for it, does not pay a lot but my main point being, am I more considered for R&R for doing good work with it the past couple weeks? Or is it just a coincidence I get so much R&R now. At one point today I had 25 projects and near half if not more were R&R.

This post is basically just a statement but I would appreciate answers from someone who mostly does R&R work and noticed spikes of more and more R&R work etc.

My task timer was still ongoing, I submitted with 10 minutes to spare but it just kept loading, now the task is expired. Will this be fine to submit or do I need to write a comment inside the task and or email DA?

Update: Not an official reply, but someone told me it’s fine and they’ve submitted an expired task for a similar reason in the past.
