Spend time with the baby - make sure the baby still wants me!
Work on speedwork - Complete a 100 mile ultra, or do sub 3 marathon.
Continue getting better at day trading - Make 100k day trading.

But just need to stay calm today and trade the plan 🙂 Even with today's downmove and my misposition, I'm still up for the year. I'm not going to get trapped in my positions, I will just get out of what looks bad, and make one good trade at a time. Live and learn~

I understand Trump listed his reasons, but those reasons don't make sense. Almost no fentanyl goes through the border, and very few illegal immigrants.. Trump's reasons are just BS.

This tariff situation seems a lot more volatile than deepseek... lots of potential news to diffuse/exacerbate the situation, so best to just hold less and make trades.
I'm Canadian... not happy with the situation 😡 I don't understand why US is putting Tariffs on Canada.

My biggest lesson from last week is at the end of the day (3:45pmish), i need to review the charts of each of my positions and decide if chart looks good and is worth keeping overnight. I would've caught the big topping tails in SPYs and QQQs and would've sold out.

Plan today will be to wait until 10am to see how action unfolds before deciding what to sell out of. Will just trade around positions today. $AMZN and $GOOGL not down as much as other names. $BABA is also interesting with earnings this week.

Another big down open to start this week, this will be the biggest single loss day of my year so far 😐
I come in with a bunch of longs, although I just bought some VXX premarket this morning. Wish I trimmed more Friday afternoon.

My current positions are:
$GOOGL, $GEV, $NVDL, $TSLA, $IBIT
$BIDU, $FXI, $NIO
$TLT, $ATYR
$ATYR, $BIDU and $FXI are long term holds. Some smart people are saying this is just the start of the China move so... will try to keep them for longer. I've been trading in and out of $BABA.

We're above moving averages and close to all time highs so... today's plan is just to stay long and trade in and out of positions. $GOOGL, $GEV are very strong.. will sell on strength and buy on weakness. China stocks also very strong.

This week has been pretty tricky with a big gap down on China AI news followed by a sizable bounce. Now today we're opening just about to test all time highs. Lots of AI news and Tariffs and this and that, just need to stick with the plan and stay the course.

Bought $MSFT around 420.

I'm close to the highs of my January and I don't want to give it back, so will just take today slow and trade defensively.

Plan today is to trim some positions this morning ($AMZN), and see how $NVDA trades. Everything else I'm kinda lightish, and I'm ok holding onto for the day. I'm in a few china names which I think can have more upside.

Flatish open this morning, and it's also Fed day! I lost wayyyyy too much money last Fed day so I'm tempted to just STOP TRADING after 2pm.

Plan today is to take trades, with a slight bull bias. Indices are back in the range, although SPYs still look pretty good. Will use previous day's highs and lows are support.

Indices are flat-ish this morning with semis seeing a bit of a bounce. Yesterday I ended up the day with a small loss, but I'm pretty happy with that considering how the day started.

Biggest mistake last Friday was end of the day I decided to keep some extra $AMZN calls, but now they're down big. If something is a day trade, need to keep it that way, even if they close well.

$AAPL, $VAL, $ASTS, $PL (will wait and see)
$BIDU, $FXI, $VXX (will trim some into strength, especially vxx)

Plan today is to reduce in the morning and see how things react. I wouldn't touch semi names, they'll be volatile, and even if bounces look good, don't know if they'll last.

Big down move this morning due to China and deepseek, which makes for a tricky morning. I don't know what all the ripple effects of deepseek are, but my plan is to sell the losers and hold the winners. Will get out of my $NVDA and $TSM positions with a big loss, while keeping my $FXI and $BIDU.

Bought some BIDU June 95 calls for 6.55.

Keep an eye on $PL, at highs, hoping it'll breakout and have a strong uptrend day.

My biggest loss yesterday was trying to short QQQs at the lows. That wasn't part of my trading plan and I need to stop doing things like that. We're in a strong market, so I should really only be going long.

Flat open this morning with the SPYs at all time highs and the QQQs close. Definitely feels pretty strong out there and I've had a few good days in a row. Plan is to continue holding some positions while trading around others.

I'm in:
Short term calls: $AAPL, $AMZN, $AVGO, $NVDA, $TSM
Stock: $ASTS, $PL
Long term calls: $ATYR and $FXI.
Weak semi earnings overnight so some semi weakness as well, will buy some dips and sell strength here.
