Mindful Trader Commentary For April 15, 2024


Hey Guys,


The market took a really big dip on Friday, but at this point, it's recovered almost all the way. The market has been zig zagging a lot this month, with some pretty heavy swings in both directions. The S&P 500 is around 5,160 right now.


My open positions are a mixed bag right now, similar in some ways to what the market has been giving us. But it's a lot better than what it looked like at the end of the day on Friday, when most of my positions were red. As always, I stay patient and stick to my plan, because until a position is closed, you never can be sure where it's going to end up.


My ETN stock position hit its profit target this morning. It actually gapped up past the profit target, and without me needing to take any extra action, my sell limit order filled for a higher price than I set. That gave me an oversized profit.


My DIS and CE stock positions reached their time limits, so I manually closed those this morning. Both ended up with partial losses.


I bought a new stock position for PAYC this morning in the main account. No other positions have triggered yet.


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