Mindful Trader Commentary For March 17, 2025


Hey Guys,


The market had a solid day on Friday and is off to a green start today, too. It's the first time in a few weeks that we've seen green on back-to-back days. It certainly doesn't mean we're out of the woods on volatility by any stretch, but it's a nice step in the right direction.


My HSBC stock position reached its time limit today, so I manually closed it at the opening bell. It came in just above breakeven. It's a small profit, but I'll take it.


That HSBC position had gotten 11 cents away from hitting its stop loss last week, so it's actually a nice victory to come out with a profit. And it's a good example of how a trade isn't over until it's over.


I took on some new trades today. In the stocks account, I bought positions for BMY and GILD. In the options account, I bought the options for those same tickers.


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