Morning trades
– META scalped long out of the gate for some cash flow but as no follow through I locked the gains. Later in the morning, saw stock stalled at higher and scalped short for more cash flow and nice gains
– NFLX I scalped longs several times for a red to green move and locked nice gains
– DIS saw some bull flow and jumped into calls for a +100% gain
– BA tried some OTM lottery tickets for possible breakout, but stalled so I took the loss and moved on
– AMZN I faded stock near supply zone, but got stopped a bit too soon…happens
– IWM as saw stock getting a bit exhausted loaded big PUT scalp where I locked +150% gains and done

Loss review: I took some small losses on BA and AMZN stopped but its part of trading and happy I cut losses fast to avoid a bigger loss
Key Takeaways: Traders, Trade Up and Down. The time to buy the low was yesterday and on the way up you trim gains and start looking for exhaustion to ride wave down. Keep moving!
