Mindful Trader Commentary For August 18, 2025


Hey Guys,


The market had a red day Friday, but it's still in same general range as it was for the back half of last week. The S&P 500 is around 6,450 right now.


My stock position for LHX reached its time limit. I therefore set up market sell order for it before the market opened this morning, and it automatically filled at the opening bell. It came in with a small profit. It may not be much, but it's nice to start the week out with the completion of a profitable trade.


There haven't been any new trades yet today. I have buy limit orders in for the tickers at the top of the watch list. My order for WPC from the watch list came within one penny of filling, but then went back up. There are a lot of "got so close" occurrences like that in trading. I just go with the flow as always and will stick to my rules and patiently wait.


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