Mindful Trader Commentary For August 19, 2026


Hey Guys,


The market is up some to start this morning, which is nice to see after a red start to the week.


I had a few trades get closed this morning.  One of my FXI stock positions reached its profit target.  My TRV stock position reached its time limit, so I manually closed it at the opening bell this morning.  That one resulted in a loss, but the two positions combined generated a net profit.


Also, one of my FXI option trades reached its profit target.  That brings me up to 13 straight winning option trades.


I took on some new trades today.  In the stocks account, I bought positions for SNAP and AME.  In the options account, I bought the options for SNAP.  They were just over $1 per contract.


If you have any questions, just reply directly to this email.
