Mindful Trader Commentary For August 16, 2024


Hey Guys,


The market has been taking a bit of a breather so far this morning after a couple of nice surge days this week.


All but one of my option positions that closed yesterday ended with a profit, but the one that didn't (WY) was a real drag. That position just didn't seem to want to join the market this week on its rebound.


I had two stock positions reach their time limits today, so I manually closed them at the opening bell. LNT landed a solid profit while SJM came in at breakeven.


There haven't been any new trades yet today. I have a buy limit order in for ES stock from the watch list, but it hasn't filled yet. It's pretty close, though, so it might fill later today.


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