Brother Z's Trading Notes · Day 6 of May (Tuesday)

A personal entertainment record, not professional investment advice, for entertainment only.

Today's P&L: +111 yuan (+5.18%) | Account: 2257 yuan
May cumulative: 6th consecutive trading day of net profit ✅ (but the quality is concerning)

Today's trade review (29 trades ⚠️ severely exceeded limit):
· 682 Put: Stopped out, discipline executed well.
· 693 Call: Took profits multiple times in small, staggered positions, main profit contributor.
· 690 Call: 1.74 heavy position FOMO buying, went through 1.83→0.94→2.08 and luckily escaped.
· 689 Put: Wrong direction call, stopped out and exited.
· Tesla expiration day: Bought 3 contracts at 0.4, stopped out at 0.2 -$60, punishment for switching targets mid-session.

Correct actions:
✅ Taking profits in small, staggered positions executed well (693 Call multiple times).
✅ Proactively stopped out on Tesla, didn't hold on stubbornly.
✅ Countless times refused the urge to average down on losing positions.
✅ Longbridge unconditional orders, all stop-losses were manual operations.

Mistakes:
❌ Lost control with 29 trades! Hijacked by dopamine late at night.
❌ Old habit of not stopping loss: 690 Call didn't exit at 1.60, 1.34, 0.94 three times, escaped by luck.
❌ Wanted to round 2600 up to 3000, got inflated after profit, almost went to zero.
❌ Switched targets mid-session, gambled on Tesla in an unfamiliar battlefield, lost $60.
❌ Revenge trading after profit, continuously opened positions late at night.

Today's lessons:

1. Close the software after three trades is an iron rule! Almost all mistakes last night happened after the 6th trade.
2. Not stopping loss is the only mistake that can take you to zero. 690 Call escaped by luck, won't be so lucky next time.
3. Getting inflated after profit is the most dangerous signal. Wanting to go heavy for big gains after making money in the morning session is the root of all past major losses.
4. Switching targets mid-session is prohibited. This $60 on Tesla is the fine.

Tomorrow's improvements:

1. Withdraw 1000 HKD, let the profits be realized.
2. Trading limit: Maximum 3 trades per day, close the software when reached.
3. Select targets before market open, absolutely no switching battlefields mid-session.
4. Force a 30-minute break after profit hits a new high.

The account was down to just over 100 yuan at the most dangerous moment last night. Managed to fight back in the late session with disciplined trades, it's a yellow card warning from the market, not a red one. If I make the same mistake again, there won't be any luck. Sixth day of May, the account is still in the green. But this is by luck, not by discipline. Tomorrow, I must continue this account with discipline.
