Notes

- The Microvision trade went the other way and the stop loss was reached. KDK Fund has in the past invested in the company's stock. A link to the post can be found here.

- The XLF trade went the other way and the stop loss was reached.

- The TQQQ trade broke out a bit. Because the option was out of the money, the current understanding of the speed of time value loss motivated the sale.

- The Microsoft trade was made as it reached a new 52 week high. Because the option was out of the money, the past understanding of the speed of time value loss motivated the sale.

- We are finding that we have work to do on the sale area of our winning trades. Data is suggesting we are selling too quickly. Time to get learning ;).
