Stop making these common mistakes if you want to be a profitable trader in 2025.1. Stop averaging down. This is a loser's strategy. If a trade is going to work, there should never be a need to buy more. Averaging down leads to oversizing and will bring many emotions into the trade.2. Stop feeling FOMO. Fomo is an account killer. It causes you to enter trades you have minimal understanding of. You're chasing money and following blindly into a stock you have no business being a part of. Associate FOMO with losing. IF you recognize you're feeling FOMO, you need to sit on your hands.3. Stop relying on others to buy/sell/hold a position. IF you find yourself constantly asking another person if you should hold/sell a position. You will fail. You didn't have a plan before you entered a trade and

$Apple(AAPL)$ Apple recently faced two negative factors: first, Pelosi disclosed selling 31,600 Apple shares on Tuesday; second, TSMC's earnings report last week showed a quarter-over-quarter revenue decline due to seasonal factors in smartphone demand.The stock price has pulled back from its peak of 260 to 220, returning to levels before Trump's presidential campaign success.Considering Pelosi sold her shares on the 14th, after Tuesday's pullback, it might seem like a good opportunity to buy the dip or sell puts, but what's the actual situation?According to options trading details, put option positions show strong bearish signals, with downside targets at 210, 200, and 180:This time, sorting by open interest is more telling since Apple's downward

$NVDA$After TSM's earnings report on Thursday showing long-term AI benefits, I expected to see large bullish options positions in NVIDIA. I was stunned to see 22,800 new June contracts with a $5 strike price! $NVDA 20250620 5.0 CALL$  With NVIDIA trading around $135, a $5 strike means deep in-the-money options, with prices approximately equal to stock price minus strike price. Each contract cost around $13,000, making the 22,800 contracts worth about $296 million.Deep in-the-money options have poor liquidity, and since this large order wasn't executed on-exchange, it took considerable time to fill.While the strike price may not provide much directional guidance, a $300 million purchase representing 2.28 million shares upon

I deeply miss the washout from August 5th last year.

The rebound caused call volume to disperse put volume - option trading didn't become one-sided. At 12PM I saw no opportunity for the second half, so I closed
