Vacation week, mostly

We had a beautiful week with extended family. I didn't bring my computer, because I didn't want to be tempted to trade (and ruin my vacation). And then like a jerk, I did a trade on my phone. So I came home Thursday red on the week...of course...this is exactly why phone trading is forbidden!

Today, how to trade a Friday? Fridays burn, as I well know. But it's my only day to make up the loss. Requires shrewd careful trading. First batch of trades was net loss. Next batch was better.

I was watching NVDA for a "2-down" after it failed the breakout yesterday. No go on the first and second try. Third trade completely fubar, but managed to get a really big chunk off for +84% thanks to an accidental add at the top and later a rinse for unknown reason.

I passed on AMZN bc cost and spread. No real regrets there. It had a huge gap down, but then a pretty small range day. 

PINS was also a good looking short setup, I lost on the first one. Tried again later for green, but didn't cover the loss.

MRNA, pure beauty. Caught such a surge, didn't want to give it any room.
