Big orders coming in EOD yesterday on $260 calls expiring today. Played it safe with $255c expiring Monday. Sold 10 before the close yesterday at 3.95, the others in the first five minutes of the market today at 5, 5.4, 6.3, 6.31, 6.65. And then I walked away, as I've been working on!

Fourth trade - deeper dip buy and bigger bounce. Smaller size as ticker looks overextended. (Post-trade note: After I exited, ticker broke out to a new all-time high.)

Third trade - continued strength. Bough a dip off highs, sold when momo waned.

Second trade. Dip off high. Still think it can break out. Entered on a dip, lower than my first trade exit, and sold into a pop. Frustratingly choppy.

Watching for break of all-time high

Third trade, same strategy: entry at PM/intraday support, exit into strength. Smaller size due to midday timing and fact ticker couldn't convincingly break $254. This time it did, and I got the bigger bounce I wanted.

Exact same trade as the previous one - same entry price at support. Bigger bounce this time. Exited into little pops in the chop 10 contracts at a time: 2.89, 2.94, 2.95, 3.04, 2.90. Solid discipline.

After closing lower yesterday, ticker opened higher and chopped around. Took a quick entry on a dip and exit on a pop.

Break of multi-month resistance. Options move slowly, spread widened and narrowed, orders must be placed in 5-cent increments. Entered when ticker held whole dollar $11, stayed as patient as I could, and finally sold into move toward whole dollar $12. (The right move - it never got there and fell back quickly.)

Swing. Sold a few contracts each of four days; squandered opportunities to sell much higher, but I was greedy. Disappointed at my lack of discipline; by now, I know the best execution is at the open when traders are rushing to get in on a gap up.
