Wanted .98 for 1st sell. Couldn't break .93 before I cut for small loss.

I really need to learn how to dip buy or wait until the actual low.

Too OTM, just couldn't pop except ~1:55pm.

2 trades. 1st could have been decent. 2nd trade just crashed.

Real low was .42 at 12:10pm and .95 peak at 12:21pm.

2 trades. 9:32 was peak, usually not the case. 10:13 was 0.20 low. 10:16 immediately topped at .69. I was trying to get .74. I really need to be ahead of the moves or get out quicker.

QQQ 705 C 1.06 -> .78. 2:22pm looked like a great shake out similar to 1:54pm I missed, but even that run wasn't amazing in retrospect as it needed a clean break above previous resistance to really run.

QQQ 702 P .36633 -> .40833. Should have kept full stops for .48 and maybe tried for .58 as it topped at .67 at 1:54pm on the bullish green candle with massive volume, which indicated I should have switched to calls immediately as well.

QQQ 700 P .26 -> .18. 1:10 looked toppy, entered at 1:12, but 1:23 was actually the top, and it didn't go bearish until 1:43 for a short time. Smaller position, didn't add, cut at risk.

QQQ 705 C .37 -> .24667. Bought after NVDA LOD totally seen by 10:20 5-minute candle and 10:27 candle closed above candle high. Topped at .38 at 10:42, cut at risk. Didn't take off until 12:25 when it clearly broke the previous support and finally broke to .40 and had a massive run for an hour, but that run could have happened earlier. And while I might have been able to get in a 700 call at $1 and got a piece off at 1.48, I probaly would have been in at 1.13+
