BABA -8% coulda shoulda

Daily setup: none, really
Entry/play: 1 min move above nice day low pivot
Management: trailed stop... but not enough. coulda shoulda take half off at struggle around day high, but I wanted more.
Psychology: Greed/disappointment. On one hand I played this right, but I played it like it should have gone up, but there's nothing in the setup that says it should have run. So, I should have taken a conservative target. At least on half.

why so sparse

Hey Fast_Options, why so slow?
I do feel a bit in slow motion lately. Generally, several assorted commitments have eaten my mornings. But that's what I like about trading. The absolute flexibility to live other parts of my life too.

SPY wednesday calls +54%

Daily setup: 123
Entry/play: new 1 min high after pivot
Management: trail stop
Psychology: OK. It moved my way and I got a good gain. Nothing to complain about.
