Mindful Trader Commentary For March 5, 2026


Hey Guys,


The market is down to start the morning.  The S&P is around 6,850 right now.  It's still volatile -- the S&P 500 has had a 200-point range this week.


Update on the Options section of the watch list:  there was an issue on our end with our option data supplier.  We know what needs to be done and we should have it resolved soon.  Thanks very much for your patience.


I took on some new trades today.  In the stocks account, I bought positions for CGNX and WELL.  In the options account, I bought options for PG.  Since I didn't have the watch list, I manually determined which option to use (this page explains my process).


I have a bunch of option trades that reached their time limits today.  I'll be manually closing those near the end of the trading session today unless they reach their profit targets first.  A number of those positions are down big right now.  We'll see how they turn out once the trades are over, but it's not looking pretty right now.


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