My predictions from yesterday paid off nicely, but I got chopped up on some day trades in the OPEX volatility. Licking wounds on those while celebrating the bigger wins.

Started a position in TSLL and took a TSLA 440c lotto to swing into Monday.

P/L:
MU 630p 6/18 → +$855 (+32.21%)
SPY 720p 7/31 → +$366 (+15.04%)
SPY 738p 5/29 → +$124 (+20.99%)
SPY 742c 5/15 → -$415 (-37.22%)

Solid net green day despite the chop.

Haven’t posted in a while, been busy and the portfolio has been swinging up and down. Closed out some positions today to lock in profits.

Took a new position in Netflix and added a TSLA leap.

P/L:
TSLA 420c 7/17 → +$405 (+22.57%)
TSLL market sell → +$119 (+4.47%)
XRP market sell → +$23 (+1.91%)
Australia payout → +$82 (+426%)

Solid day trimming winners. Back in the mix.

Closed out of my NFLX puts on today’s drop and took profit on ZEC during the pump (will reload if it drops back under $600). Still swinging QQQ puts on a calendar spread.

P/L:
NFLX 95p 7/17 → +$150 (+14.29%)
NFLX 85p 6/18 → +$65 (+35.14%)
ZEC → +$34.58 (+1.91%)
NFLX 70p 8/21 → +$8 (+8.70%)

Solid green day on the exits. Staying patient with the QQQ position.

May 28-29: Trading Journal #63

Licking wounds on NFXL after taking a big hit. Opened short positions on it to capture more downside.

Got overzealous with the QQQ calls and cut them way too early right before a sweep higher, classic. Fully closed out of TSLA (managed a few scalps on the way out).

Now short QQQ as I believe we hit a near-term top before a tech correction. Built out a full UVIX position, so I’m firmly in bear mode for the next week or two… unless the market decides to go back to mindless bull pumping again. 🙄

P/L:
TSLA 430c 5/29 → +$115 (+36.51%)
TSLL → +$130 (+8.63%)
NFXL → -$993 (-14.69%)
QQQ 736c 5/28 → -$510 (-27%)

Mixed bag. Staying disciplined with the bearish bias for now.

Another busy day at work so screen time was limited. Closed out my shorter-dated PFE calls on today’s rally and took partial profits on TSLL at the highs. Loaded a December QQQ put.

Futures were rough though, got chopped up pretty good on MNQ. Tried to stay active but overall not much to show for it.

P/L:
TSLL → +$123 (+8.13%)
PFE 27c 6/18 → +$12 (+10.82%)

Mixed day. Grinding through the limited focus.

May 21-22: Trading Journal #61

Ehh I’ve been slacking on posting. Busy week at work so I’ve only been able to take a few trades here and there. Everything came out fairly even overall.

Added more to my XRP position and loaded a starter in ZEC.

P/L:
TSLA 425p 5/22 → +$120 (+20%)
QQQ 690p 7/17 → mixed (+$90 / -$61)
TSLL → +$39 (+5.44%)
SPY 735p 5/21 → -$108

Still grinding through the limited screen time. Back at it this week.

Didn’t get to watch the market today, work was hectic. Managed to steal 5 minutes after lunch, spotted a clean short setup on TSLA, took one contract and let it work. Sure enough it played out perfectly.

This nicely balanced out the TSLA 440c lotto from Friday that got torched at open.

P/L:
TSLA 400p 5/22 → +$109 (+24.44%)

Nice quick win on a busy day.

No trades today.

Started positions in SPY and Micron puts.

Also took a starter position in XRP for a longer hold, it finally met my criteria after watching it for over a year.

Quiet day. Staying patient and selective.

May 13: Trading Journal #57

Tested the waters this morning but didn’t like what I saw, so I took the rest of the day off from the market.

P/L:
SPY 730p 5/13 → +$20 (+50%)
SPY 739c 5/13 → +$4 (+2%)
SPY 735p 5/13 → -$38 (-38%)
TSLA 430p 5/13 → -$47 (-58%)

Small day. Better to sit out than force it.

Missed yesterday’s post so combining both days. Feels like I’m finally finding my groove again now that we’re moving away from the messy ATH environment and back to trading clearer, more established structures.

P/L:
TSLA 430p 5/13 → +$90 (+28.58%)
TSLA 420p 5/13 → +$50 (+14.29%)
SPY 739c 5/11 → +$100 (+10.99%)
SPY 702p 6/18 → +$19 (+3.45%)
TSLL → +$19.51
TSLA 420p 5/11 → -$142 (-40.58%)

Green couple of days. Momentum feels better.

Took some lottos at the open in case we got a Friday pump/dump, but the market stayed range-bound most of the day. Took small losses on them near EOD. Caught a decent TSLA scalp with the group as well.

Otherwise stayed mostly out and will reset fresh next week.

P/L:
TSLA 425c 5/15 → +$107 (+9.37%)
SPY 740c 5/8 → -$7 (-53.85%)
SPY 728p 5/8 → -$14 (-73.69%)

Light green day.

Ready for next week.

May 7: Trading Journal #54

Closed out the options swings today. Got chopped out of a lot of them, but tried letting a few run longer where the setup actually made sense.

Still a work in progress on holding conviction trades without getting shaken. Some solid scalps mixed in with the noise.

P/L:
SPY 731c 5/8 → +$82 (+6%)
SPY 700p 6/18 → +$84 (+7.66%)
SPY 730p 6/18 → +$32
SPY 730p 5/8 → -$175 (-39%)
SPY 734p 5/15 → -$151
SPY 740c 5/7 → -$60

Grinding and resetting for next week.

May 6: Trading Journal #53

Loaded puts and calls for a swing today. Added UVIX, added to JEPQ and JEPI. Cut my SLV LEAP position (and the hedge) on the gap up.

Got chopped out of a bunch of positions that should’ve been higher conviction.

Noticing a clear gap between spotting strong setups and actually holding them long enough to let them work.

P/L:
SPY 731c 5/6 → +$57 (+78%)
SPY 733c 5/6 → -$130
SLV 80c 1/15/27 → -$1,970 (-32.46%)
SPY 688p 6/18 → -$246
QBTS 20p LEAP → +$55Tough day on the swings.

Still grinding.

May 4-5: Trading Journal #52

Missed yesterday’s post so combining both days. Yesterday had good focus, today not so much. Swing positions are still dragging me down but I’m respecting structure and gritting my teeth.

Biding my time to see if NFXL and SLV can recover as anticipated.

P/L:
QQQ 685c 5/5 → +$50
NFLX 85p 6/18 → +$48
PLTR market sell → +$21
TSLL sells mixed
SPY 720p 5/8 → -$250
SPY 725p 5/6 → -$190

Still in the fight.

May 1: Trading Journal #50

Another busy day at work to round out the week. Didn’t get to focus much on the market but took some quick scalps here and there.

Added positions in UVIX and JEPI. Sold a QBTS 20p LEAP to collect premium on the inevitable move up this year.

Added a QQQ 680c June.

P/L:
QQQ 675c 5/1 → +$101
HYMC → +$110.50 (+6.10%)
SPY 723c 5/1 → +$25 (+5.69%)
SPY 720p 5/1 → -$50
SPY 724c 5/1 → -$30

Green scalps to close the week.
