2. Stop Loss Protection - 23 Positions ✅

Cancelled: 15 old incorrect stops (were at -9%, needed -5%)

Set: 22 new correct stops at entry × 0.95 (-5%)

Protected Positions: - AVGO, BLNK, BTBT, EXEL, FAST, FNV, GEVO, HALO, IQ, LMT, OR, PLUG, RC, REKR, RLX, ROP, SBGI, SOHU, SOXL, TSM, VIPS, VZ

Failed: 1 position (AXGN - short position, needs manual handling)

Result: 22/23 positions now have correct 5% stop losses ✅

⚠️ AXGN - Manual Action Required

Issue: AXGN is a SHORT position (-2 shares) - Entry: $17.50 (sold short) - Current: $17.79 - Needs BUY STOP at $18.37 (+5% for shorts)

Action Required: 1. Go to: https://app.alpaca.markets/paper/dashboard/overview 2. Find AXGN position 3. Place BUY STOP order: - Symbol: AXGN - Side: BUY - Type: STOP - Quantity: 2 shares - Stop Price: $18.37 (entry × 1.05) - Time in Force: GTC

Why different?: Shorts profit when price drops, lose when price rises. Stop needs to be ABOVE entry, not below.

📊 Current Portfolio Status

Open Positions: 23 - Long positions: 22 (all protected with stops) - Short position: 1 (AXGN - needs manual stop)

Pending Orders: - HIVE sell limit @ $5.85 - BITF sell limit @ $4.57
