The hardest is always deciding if I have outstayed my welcome

Like some others, I bought NVDA at 128, so since then I have been trying to cut my losses by selling puts when price reached 117 levels, or selling calls when price reached 123 levels (for now).   So far, this is my third fightback trade, and it is getting tiring to keep monitoring whether it is going to be an up or down every now and then and I don't have the energy or will to sit till late every day to monitor my put or call.

Today, I settled for a premium of 7.15 for this call expiring 30 Aug, strike price 131. I am considering to leave this untouched and move on to others.  If my stock gets called away, good. if the stock price plunges to the point that my premium isn't enough, also good, it's a good lesson learnt and there remains another day to sell another call or put. if I sell it now for a small profit, it is also good because I'll have coffee money for tomorrow.  Whatever I choose, it's all good because NVDA is still a good stock.

NVDA isn't a junk or meme stock just because it is plunging now. There are plenty of reasons to believe in it's growth at least for the short term, it's well ahead of the competition for at least another year, I believe. Currently, it's not too easy for another company to come up and beat NVDA with a more superior chip faster than you can say run.  This gives me the confidence to continue trading with NVDA in the event of bad news and cyclical pullbacks. Trading is risky, of course, anything can happen, but this confidence is at least a little better than some of the turd stocks I owned without any background checks.

The main lesson is to earn confidence, and not to earn money at this moment.  I am trying to condition myself that whatever happens, it is all good. A lot of the comments are either upsetting or uplifting, and the prices exhilarating or disappointing. The sub lessons are to befriend the volatility, read everything in my stride, sleep well and dream of lessons, not regrets.

Should I try new option strategies? Or how about short selling instead when the price is plunging? Should I finally take up leverage for puts and calls instead of doing just a contract at a time? How can I improve my accuracy, my speed and emotional control?  What other technical indicators will I choose  to study besides the EMA, Bollinger bands and Fibbonacci? How do I get my eyes to laser train my eyes on everything else that isn't named NVDA under the sun?

(Btw, I am actively quite new, so there is a lot to learn. This is about my hundredth day of daily trading or doing trade setups.)

I am still deciding if I have overstayed my welcome for today.  There remain increased risks that can match its current price drop, so I wouldn't say that you are getting NVDA for a discount if you are getting it today.  However, the best of NVDA remains to be displayed.

Have a happy day trading (or night) anyway.
