$SPY 260205 681 Put(SPY260205P681000.US)

Pre-market judgment was for a rebound,

After opening, it was found that IV was higher than usual,

Combined with the principle of not trading in the first 5 minutes,

I traded the underlying stock first today,

09:51 am resistance level could not be broken,

Almost watched the entire process,

The problem was not daring to open a position,

$Walmart(WMT.US)

Today's opening saw intense long-short battles,

Having hit new all-time highs for three consecutive days prior,

It has consumed a lot of buying momentum,

Not suitable for going long today,

$HOOD 260206 78 Put(HOOD260206P78000.US)

09:50 am $1.48 => 10:03 am $3.15,

Didn't follow the broader market's decline, leading to a missed opportunity,

$Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares(TSLL.US)

11:16 am $14.120 => 11:43 am $14.530,

Going long on a higher low entry,

$SPY 260205 680 Call(SPY260205C680000.US)

11:16 am $1.35 => 11:36 am $2.35,

Long bullish candlestick breaking the downtrend channel, the best long opportunity,

$Pro Shrt Vix Shrt Future(SVXY.US)

11:24 am $52.410 => 11:43 am $52.920,

Followed my own watchlist plan today,

On the desktop, using the "Copy Chart" feature,

Maximized the $SPDR S&P 500(SPY.US) window,

Switching between other tickers' movements is quicker on the phone,

The rebound at 11:15 am was today's best long opportunity,

Unfortunately, got a bit distracted while watching,

Missed that opportunity,

In fact, every day, whether going long or short,

The key entry point only lasts two or three minutes,

Getting slightly distracted makes it easy to miss,

And after missing it, it's not suitable to chase,

This is the reason I often missed in the past,

Updated the Longbridge app today,

"Discussions" can now be up to 1000 characters,

And the computational load for the same content is reduced,

Also, the feature to filter and post discussions/long articles on the personal homepage by ticker has been fixed,

The tech team is highly efficient!

Summary:

1️⃣ If the first half hour after opening is inconclusive,

Real opportunities often come after 10:00 am or even 11:00 am;

2️⃣ To avoid missing opportunities like today's $Direxion Daily TSLA Bull 2X Shares(TSLL.US), focus needs to be sharper when watching the market.
