Mindful Trader Commentary For July 22, 2025


Hey Guys,


The market gave up its gains from yesterday, and the S&P 500 is down about 20 points to start the morning. It's back under the 6,300 price level at 6,285 right now.


My SWKS stock position reached its time limit, so I manually closed it at the opening bell. That one ended up with a loss. Yesterday it had a run-up in price and seemed to have positive momentum, but that all got deflated by the end of the trade.


I took on a couple of new trades today. I bought a stock position for AMAT in the stocks account. I bought the options for that same ticker in the options account.


I have a moderate amount of holdings right now. I have five stock positions open and two option positions open. It's not a ton of risk exposure, but I do have some skin in the game. We'll see how the rest of the week unfolds.


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