I uh... bought the 9:45 green candle at 487 SPY. Wasn't a big position, wasn't tiny. I knew the bounce potential was massive but I piked it in the 490s, minutes before that Fake News rip of a potential 90 day tariff pause ripped SPY another 25 points. That's not something I really do lately, to pike a top-tier mean reversion setup like this within minutes of my entry. I might pike the trailing position days later but not like this. 2013 Pete kinda knocked down the door and took over.
I'm embarrassed at how much I made... just barely over 5-figures and well short of the higher range of my good trades lately. Now the market is too difficult to me, we went where we had to go (for the easy money), you can't buy this, you can't short this, you can't take a position knowing ANY news, real or fake, is a shock for either side. My mindset isn't great. Long-term portfolio still negative.
I might just watch funny videos the rest of the day to cheer me up. Good luck to you all and congrats if you crushed that first move.
