Opening IV was higher than usual. Intraday trading continued to focus on the underlying stock today,

so the morning volatility shouldn't be high,

09:35 $11.780 => 12:44 $10.780, SL$11.81, SHORT,

Trend was against the broader market today, didn't dare to short on rallies,

Rebound failed at 10:01, could consider opening a short position if it continues to fall,

10:01 $123.350 => 10:12 $122.520, SL$123.55, SHORT,

Upper shadow is particularly long, high probability of trend reversal,

Inside Bar appeared in the first five minutes after the open,

Should abandon intraday trading and consider other targets,

moves in line with the $SPDR S&P 500(SPY.US),

$CloudFlare(NET.US)

Strong performance the previous day, likely to consolidate today,

$GraniteShares 2x Long NVDA Daily ETF(NVDL.US)

09:40:01 $74.3368 => 09:48:11 $74.8150, SL$74.08, LONG,

Because it followed the $SPDR S&P 500(SPY.US) to bottom at 09:37,

Decisively opened a long position,

But after a big move the previous day, it's clearly following the broader market into consolidation today,

Summary:

1️⃣ Make good use of stop orders to effectively prevent overtrading;

2️⃣ The first ten minutes before the open should be used to understand the previous day's performance of the underlying stock/ETF,

key intraday news release times, and major event timings.
