Mindful Trader Commentary For January 22, 2025


Hey Guys,


The market still hasn't waivered from its expression of strength. The S&P 500 is giving a lot of signs that it's feeling pretty good right now.


I still haven't taken on any new trades, but there are a couple from the watch list that are close to getting filled today: HMC and VRSN. It's possible one or both of those could get triggered at some point today.


What I do each morning is I go to the watch list before the market opens. I take the items at the top of the watch list and set up buy limit orders for them. I do this both for stocks and options. Once any of those orders get filled, I post the trades to the website immediately.


The video on this page shows in more detail how I use the watch list each morning.


Over the last four or five trading days, there simply haven't been any buy limit orders that have been filled. That's why there are no live trades showing in my account. I wait patiently and follow the back-tested trading approach, even if that means having days with no new trades.


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