Mindful Trader Commentary For November 10, 2023


Hey Guys,


The market came down noticeably yesterday and seemed to wake up from its nap, but then it bounced back up some this morning. It appears to be settling into a range here. The S&P 500 is around 4,365 right now.


I took on a couple new positions today. I bought DG stock in the main account and I bought DG options in the options account. Also, I picked up NEE stock in the main account yesterday.


My options that reached their time limits yesterday did not turn out well, mainly due to CI going south. I took nearly a full loss on the CI position in my options account, and I also took a loss on the CI option position in my main account. That CI loss was a tough one, but losses are inevitable -- in fact a normal occurrence according to back tests. So I'm going to turn the page and move on to the next trade.


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