Mindful Trader Commentary For May 21, 2025


Hey Guys,


The market is off to a red start this morning after having a mildly red day yesterday. The market has shown a lot of strength lately otherwise, so it will be interesting to see how it responds to this.


My HMC stock position reached its time limit today, so I manually closed it at the opening bell. It ended up with nearly a full profit. That trade went on a pretty wild ride as it nearly hit the profit target early on, then almost hit the stop loss, only to end up with nearly a full-sized profit by the finish line. I just stick to the rules and let the trade breathe.


I took on a bunch of new positions. In the stocks account, I bought shares of SPG and FDX today. And yesterday midday, I bought shares of VRSN and HTHT.


In the options account, I bought options for UAL and PANW. I only take up to two trades per day in each account, but if you're hungry for more option trades that have a backtested edge, you can see more on the triggered list today (there's one on there for VFC that's less than $2 per contract).


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