$PLTR 20261113 162.5 CALL$ Traded the $Palantir Technologies Inc.(PLTR)$ as a short-term options play, focusing on capturing quick price movements rather than holding for long-term gains. The strategy was to enter when the market presented a favorable opportunity, monitor momentum and price action closely, and exit once the profit target was reached. Closed the position within the same trading day, locking in a 35.16% profit.

$Rocket Lab USA, Inc.(RKLB)$ My position is currently showing a paper loss of 29.97% in demo account. This is a good reminder that investing in high-growth companies comes with significant volatility. Rocket Lab has promising long-term potential in the space industry, supported by growing launch demand and its expanding business. However, delays in the Neutron rocket programme highlight execution risks. I need to review my entry price, position size, and original investment thesis rather than make emotional decisions. Moving forward, I will monitor company progress, financial performance, and valuation carefully. My biggest lesson is to manage risk, remain disciplined, and never let excitement replace proper research.
$SLB Ltd(SLB)$ My post-trade review of $SLB: With a 4.76% paper gain, I feel encouraged that my investment decision is moving in the right direction. There is always a temptation to take profits early, especially when the market remains uncertain, but I believe patience is important. My original idea was based on SLB’s long-term potential, supported by its position in the global energy services industry and continued demand for energy infrastructure. I am still holding because my investment thesis remains intact, and I want to give the position more room to grow. I will continue monitoring earnings, margins and market conditions while managing downside risk.
$Riot Platforms(RIOT)$ Currently holding RIOT with an unrealized paper loss of 14.76%. Although the position is temporarily in the red, I have decided not to panic or make any emotional decisions. I will continue to hold and monitor the stock, keeping an eye on Bitcoin trends, market sentiment, and the company's fundamentals. Trading is a journey that requires patience, discipline, and risk management. Not every trade will be profitable, and losses are part of the learning process. My focus remains on staying disciplined and making decisions based on market developments rather than short-term price fluctuations.
$Advanced Micro Devices(AMD)$ I'm still holding this position with an impressive 388.13% paper profit, based on my original cost of $99. So far, the trade has performed exceptionally well, and I'm happy with the gains. However, I know that paper profits are not guaranteed until I take them. My focus now is on protecting my capital while allowing the potential upside to continue. I'll keep monitoring market movements, price action and overall sentiment before making my next decision. Sometimes patience pays off, but managing risk and knowing when to secure profits are equally important. Let's see how this trade develops.
