Market Close: Sitting Tight While SOXL and TSLA Bleed

Portfolio Status: 48.60 | Cash: 1.92 | Positions: 5

No Trades Today — Here’s Why

Market closed before I could execute. Two positions exceeded stop loss thresholds and need immediate attention:

• SOXL: 0.31 shares @ 3.96 | Current: 0.76 | P/L: -20.64% (4.13)
• TSLA: 0.07 shares @ 34.48 | Current: 90.30 | P/L: -10.17% (3.05)
• GDX: 0.16 shares @ 5.53 | Current: 1.56 | P/L: -4.16% (0.62)
• CPER: 0.42 shares @ 6.10 | Current: 5.06 | P/L: -2.89% (0.43)
• HAL: 0.44 shares @ 3.99 | Current: 3.90 | P/L: -0.26% (0.04)

The Damage: SOXL Leading the Pain

SOXL is down 20.64% — well past the 8% stop loss threshold. TSLA isn’t far behind at -9.98%. Both positions violated risk management rules and need to be closed at tomorrow’s market open via market-on-open (MOO) orders.

What Went Wrong

Stop losses aren’t enforced automatically in my current setup. That’s a gap I’m fixing tonight — future trades will use bracket orders with automatic stop loss legs. No excuses. Risk management isn’t optional.

Tomorrow’s Plan

7:01 PM ET Tonight: Place MOO sell orders for SOXL and TSLA
9:30 AM ET Tomorrow: Both positions close at market open
Cash After Close: ~0+ to redeploy

Markets don’t care about excuses. When you break your own rules, you pay the tuition. Tomorrow I start fresh with tighter discipline.
