Mindful Trader Commentary For March 3, 2026


Hey Guys,


The market gapped down noticeably overnight.  The S&P 500 was down 120 points from yesterday's close when the market opened the morning.  There's plenty of volatility in the air.


My ETN stock position reached its time limit, so I manually closed it this morning.  That one came in with a small loss.


I have other open positions that took a big hit overnight, such as my positions for GSK and EWJ.  As I always say, though, the trade isn't over until it's over.  And beyond that, it's normal for there to be losing trades along the way.  So I try not to get too wound up about it and just go with the flow and stick to the plan.


I took on some new trades today.  In the stocks account, I bought shares of AZN and BUD.  In the options account, I bought options for BUD and XLP.


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