grabbed this in early october to hold through earnings. I liked the chart and thought we could have a solid bounce off the 21ema up to ATH. It ripped after earnings, did better than I expected. Should have closed these at the open, was 100%+ in profits. I wanted to hold it as I think it can continue to rally, but after GOOGL and AAPL gave back their profits, I decided to take profits in case this followed suit

Saw a ton of unusual volume building up in this name after a myster investor was announced. Did not do proper research, added several strikes and built a rather large position in this thinking big money knew something. All it did was fall apart. This was a major lack of discipline and greed, leading to mismanagement and a large loss.

GLD was rallying big time, went supernova, showing signs of topping. Started to break down and then surged back up to 400 so I cut it. Unfortunately I should have let it sit for one more day because it dropped downm to the 380s the next day. I was right, the top was in, I was just a day early. Lesson in when to hold, conviction and data supported it.

Looking for this to hold 10 and continue running on momentum. Accidentally closed it when I was putting in my stop. Might re-enter later, was starting to look weak anyway.

Had been watching this consolidate under ATH for a few weeks and was waiting for an entry, then they struck a deal with openAI and it took off. Held overnight for a nice +100% profit. My target was 110 and I cut a bit before then. My hands were burning and I wanted to take profits, plus I won't have time to actively manage.

Major call sweeps coming in at the close yesterday, took the gamble on momentum knowing full well we could see a sell off now that gold has hit $4k. Stop was triggered at my risk level.

Bought as it stabilized near the 215 area. Signaled a reversal and wanted to catch the bounce, market is hot, call sweeps pouring in. Targeting the 240 area. Decided to cut it when trend broke. Market pulling back as a whole and wanted to lock in, wait for re-entry if another opportunity appears.

Big call sweeps hitting at close on 10/2, favorable news and other names in the sector have been running. Entry was at PM high, risk at PM low, and target was $100 area by next Fri. Used S/R & fib levels to determine risk & target. It had a solid run and I was up closer to 30% on this, but it quickly rejected a key level. I didn't want to hold it if it couldn't hold the 21ema, saw big sell orders coming in & decided to cut for a small gain

rolled one of the 215 contracts into this with a higher strike and longer expiration, looking for a continuation up to the 215 level and a gap up into the open tomorrow. However, there was a lot of geopolitical and political drama today which created added volatility and I decided to cut it as things began to look weak across the board.

was looking for a 207.50 break since it has been a recent level of resistance, looking like it has the momentum and market is about to break through resistance as well. Got a nice spike on more tariff negotiation developments with US/China as well as several postive AI news updates. Scaled out gradually on the gap up and the run up to 212, which was my target.
