$SPY Call(SPY260716C753000.US)

10:01:53 $1.15 => 10:03:19 $1.10, SL$1.00, LONG,

10:00 Significantly pulled up due to data release,

If it had stabilized at PML $751.250 at 09:58, entering the trade for a breakout might have been holdable,

Entering after a long bullish candle raises great concern about pullbacks or false breakouts,

10:06:15 $1.34 => 10:09:11 $1.31, SL$1.20, LONG,

After stopping out on the previous erroneous trade, entered again due to FOMO,

Already near the opening price, closed the position out of fear of loss,

10:10:27 $1.55 => 10:14:19 $1.48, SL$1.40, LONG,

Another FOMO entry, betting on a breakout of PMH $754.650,

Stopped out feeling it couldn't break through,

$SPY Call(SPY260716C754000.US)

10:29:51 $1.35 => 10:31:46 $1.19, SL$1.25, LONG,

Another bet on breakout, chasing highs after the trend moved for a while,

Stopped out in fear of loss, sold at a low point,

Going long near PMH $754.650 carries high risk,

10:45:50 $1.43 => 10:49:40 $1.23, SL$1.30, LONG,

Violated the principle of 'no longs at intraday highs',

11:25:35 $1.04 => 11:26:06 $1.04, SL$0.95, LONG,

Intraday highs are not suitable for entry,

11:26:39 $1.20 => 11:27:53 $1.13, SL$1.05, LONG,

Bet on breaking PMH $754.650 failed,

Opened one trade, lost one trade,

On days where it cannot break between PMH $754.650 and PML $751.250, it is not suitable to open option positions,

$SPY Put(SPY260716P753000.US)

10:54:24 $0.85 => 10:56:58 $0.84, SL$0.70, LONG,

Entered short at the end of the trend, stop loss was correct,

The best time to short was 10:48,

Opened at 8, closed flat at 8, all losses; if the trend is unclear, better not to trade!

Reflection:

1️⃣ The key to making mistakes was watching the 1-minute chart on the computer and opening large positions,

Attempting to catch every minute's opportunity,

Little did I know that human hand speed cannot compete with computers!
