Biked to the library just in time to completely close out MSFT. Was a little frazzled after biking for 30m and only have 10m b4 the close to analyze what I had missed. Next time I'll make sure I have a 30m buffer if I move around during trading ...

Finding it hard to stay focused and the market hasn't even open yet. MSFT is running in the premarket. Apparently they did a deal w/ NVDA to use new chips in their PCs. I've learned my lesson after being caught flatfooted during the Iran War ...

Microsoft had a very strong showing yesterday even if I got in after the majority of the move was over. I have $435 calls but I am realizing that this has the potential to rally to $470 in this type of market, so I was not aggressive enough w/ my ...

Closed out COIN for a smaller winner. Definitely lost its correlation w/ Bitcoin futures as the day progressed. Proud of my improved trade management though. I think I have some structure there that can limit my drawdowns moving forward. image ...
