No net losses on day trades today, though I did mis-manage 2 different longs (PINS did not cut remainder at breakeven; BIDU exited at an arbitrary point).

SQ 220 calls Entries: 2.50 Exits: 1.60 TiT: 24 mins -56%

I like sizing down on Fridays and going for these "lotto" plays. That said, no noteworthy day trade losses to report. I will say that I cut some FB calls really early (at a ~20% profit), which was good practice/muscle memory.

No noteworthy day trade losses today.

I might just start posting losses only here. A lot of small winners today (PFE, AMD, a few others), many of which I cut way too early (in hindsight). So here we go with this new idea. Losers only. SDC 12.5 calls Entries: 0.42 Exits: 0.35, 0.34 TiT: 20 mins -18%

PINS 70 calls Entries: 0.10 Exits: 0.23. 0.32. 0.38 Time to scale: 8 mins TiT: 11 mins 210% Stray thoughts: This was what's often called "lotto" sized, so nothing to write home about, except there's always some novelty of hitting 100%+ for me.

I was busy with other work today; no day trades for me to report.

Taking the day off because of Veteran's Day here in the US. I may look to see how BA does, to keep up with the "story" but not much else planned.
