This is a sample of the AI post-mortem format Premium users get on closed paper trades. The fill, prices, and P&L below are illustrative — not a live result and not a recommendation.
NVDA had flushed from a 5-day high into the lower Bollinger band with RSI(2) printing 4.2 — historically a stretched short-term oversold print for this name in the paper universe. The desk's mean-reversion book is allowed to fade that kind of washout when the higher-timeframe trend filter is still up and there is no earnings gate in the next 48h.
Limit buy 12 shares at 118.40 after RSI(2) crossed back up through 10 with a higher low on the 15-minute. Size was 1.2% of simulated equity, well inside the Conservative/Balanced per-name cap. Stop 116.90 (just under the session low); take-profit 121.10.
Take-profit filled at 121.05 into the VWAP reclaim. The position never tagged the stop. Hold time 6 hours. Paper P&L +2.24% on the trade, +0.03% on simulated NAV. Slippage in this lab is idealized — a live broker would likely have filled worse.
The setup was textbook mean-reversion; the useful part was the earnings gate and the hard stop. A similar print the week prior was skipped because of an event window — that discipline is the product, not the 2% winner. This write-up is illustrative. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell NVDA, and hypothetical results are not indicative of future performance.
