Dip N Rip style trade, entered on the PM high break as call sweeps came pouring in. Lots of resistance at 191 area and has been fizzling out and coming right back down to the 180s every time it tests it. Market was hot, CES was creating excitement in this sector, new product, looked like a good catalyst to breakout. Ended up stuffing on China news, got out breakeven.

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.
