With the long weekend to reflect, I wanted to share realized my Q1 trading results. Almost $70k realized YTD with $ASTS premium and memory stocks like $SNDK $WDC being the main engine.
This quarter taught me two fundamental truths about myself: I have grown significantly as a trader, but I am also nowhere near my potential, which to me is exciting.
The biggest takeaway from what can be seen in this P/L chart is how aggressive I was based on my edge. $SPY $QQQ $SPX $NDX action hasn't been the easiest to trade, while there has been some great opportunities, knowing when your edge is present as a trader is crucial for performance, as one bad month can eliminate significant profits if risk wasn't adjusted to the conditions.

$SPY $QQQ sitting in a larger range, I will have those up to look for intraday setups. Do not sell yourself short by not having weekly, monthly, and quarterly levels up, they are a must with volume and 9, 21, 50 SMA.
$SPY needs 738.08 to look better. But realistically its still all about that 7473 on $SPX still, or roughly 745.64 on $SPY, and 722 on $QQQ
Still in some $MU and $SNDK rollups. Wait for dips, add some swings, rinse and repeat.
$ASTS over 92 can start a run into Space X IPO.
$DAVE through 280, 286 can run towards 300.
Message to Discord Pre-Market:
$SPY $QQQ both gapping up about $4+ pre-market.
$ASTS announced satellite 8,9, & 10 launch dates, bosting the whole space sector.
$ASTS needs 102.79 for more room to upside.
$DOCN held 164.77 for the third time yesterday. Through 173-174 can test 184 ATH.
$HOOD holding that 85 quarterly nice, a break above the 9ma and hold would look great today.
$FLNC good low volume base back to its HV day and 9ma. If i can get an intraday tag at 24.16 Ill look for longs.
$MU $SNDK both worked extremely well again, looking to sell majority of those trades off open and chill again.
$TTMI, $JCI $NBIS some other names im watching.
Good recovery on the broader market, we dumped last night after Iran struck Israel, but then an announcement this morning noted that they have stopped military operations.
Some areas of interest for the indices:
$SPX 7473, 7517 above and 7408, 7401, 7385 below.
$QQQ 722 above and 711, 709 below areas watch for setups.
I have some $MU and $SNDK calls from Friday, I will likely be buying swings on most dips since I sold half $MU shares.
I have $MRVL calls and they did get added to S&P but time decay will likely win that battle, we shall see.
Some names to keep an eye on:
10/300 setups: $CNK $RKLB
Upside: $SPOT $PWR $SEZL $VRT $NBIS
Downside: $AMD
My top 5 losing trades this week:
$SNDK $META $GEV were all trades/rolls from last week that I knew were zero.
$INTC I tried earlier last week but failed Friday.
$NDX was interesting, I lost on three separate occasions trying to play the bounce Friday. All entries were great, off key supports, good risk to reward, but I got stopped out on all three.
I am annoyed but not upset as $NDX was fighting through the 9 and 21ma while breaking Friday. Absolutely confirmed risk-off though.
Weekly Market Recap:
Awesome week mainly due to me securing half of my $MU position Thursday, timing it extremely well, and documented on here.
Took about $62.5k on $MU alone and had a lot of great other trades this week, but Friday was a risk management day where I closed a lot of runners, and other losing trades, making the week slightly green for options.
Lets get into what happened:
My top 5 winning trades this week:
$MU $LLY $NBIS $CLS $AAOI paid really well this week.
I'm glad I was able to catch these as I already knew I was realizing losses Friday, regardless of the aggressive move lower due to rolls and some original trades that went to zero expiring this week.
Bought 1 bitcoin:native with stops running near 59k. Need to stay tactical as all assets are on free fall right now but good that I can control this over weekend if we do fall.
Managed to scalp $MSTR today so I’ll use profits from that to pay for $BTC idea.
Capital markets are funding the AI buildout at historic scale: ~$400B over 6 months. Bitcoin ETFs have seen ~$4B of outflows since May 14, pressuring $BTC. This is a capital rotation, not a Bitcoin impairment. Volatility creates opportunity.
$LLY and $MU $TE covered calls should pay off the open.
SAAS has some momentum with $NOW and $PLTR gapping.
Lots of stuff failed overnight, best to play caution and manage risk here rather then add it on.
Pre-market reminder: you don't need to trade today, you need to be ready when the right one shows up. those are two completely different things.
