Mindful Trader Commentary For April 10, 2025


Hey Guys,


The market had a really big surge yesterday. The S&P 500 went up a whopping 400 points. This morning it's down 150 points, so clearly there is still a bunch of volatility in the air. But it's encouraging to see a day with that kind of strength from the market.


Late in the day yesterday, my buy orders for DG got filled. I picked up both a stock position and an option position. There haven't yet been any new trades today.


I have four different option positions reaching their time limits today. I'll be manually closing them near the end of the trading day today unless they reach their profit targets first. All four of those options positions are from the Energy sector. The market's strong showing yesterday helped move the prices of the underlying stocks up for those option positions, but they were so deep in the tank from the market turbulence from the last week that they still aren't looking good. We'll wait and see how they turn out once they reach the finish line.


If you have any questions or feedback, I'd love to hear from you.
