New account high! +19% week. B"H

I see I didn't journal here yesterday. I had a really big down day yesterday, making all my stupid habitual mistakes including taking home a really big loser in BABA. Thank Gd I got redeemed today.

Today, B"H I got my piece out. I left a ton on the table, but when I got out clean I was very emotional. Took one more obvious trade in NVAX. Wanted NKE, but missed it and then decided not to mess around with my day.

Just for chuckles, the BABA puts I sold at 2.3 are currently trading at around 5.5. No regrets taking MY trade. Especially after screwing it up yesterday, this was gift horse.
