Good morning!

Cheers to anyone with more brains than I, who made money on the bounce yesterday. I was too scared/dumb to take advantage of the entire market finding its bottom and rebounding off it.

I'm sitting here, looking at $ZM and $TSLA charts, and wishing I would have remembered or even realized that yesterday was a First Green Day pattern for both of them. Even $AAPL was basically a First Green Day. 

If I wasn't like Winnie the Pooh (sorry for all these Hundred Acre Wood references; it's what my 2 year old is into right now), being a bear of very little brain, I would have purchased some Call Options for all of them, and had a tidy profit today. Not to mention $AAPL is doing a product unveiling today.

Lessons learned, I guess. Or at the least, lessons observed. Hopefully I'll learn from them.

Yesterday was probably the slowest trading day I've had in a long while.

I only traded $AAPL, experimenting with "boxing" my position with a Call and Put spread (which didn't work very well), and a speculative, overnight Put on $SHLL (which isn't working out very well either).

So overall, not much was lost, but nothing was gained, either.

To be honest, I think I'm a bit scared to trade, lest I lose more. No, my account isn't destroyed, but it's currently down about 20%. To me, that's a lot, and I'd rather just wait for the perfect play to come before I start doing serious trades again.

Maybe that's what I should have been doing all along... hmmm...

I'm not giving up. Just taking a step back so I get get in the groove again. 

Not much is planned for today, as the markets are consolidating and there aren't many good setups.
