$CapitaLandInvest(9CI.SI)$  this counter has been on downtrend. It has hit the 52 weeks low. Very tempting to continue to DCA and build on existing position.

$Alibaba(BABA)$ Sold off to maintain margin. 

$Alibaba(BABA)$ Oh no... got assigned so early. This is the risk of selling put. When the market goes against you, likely roll down and out further... otherwise need to accept the shares and manage it thereafter 

My earnings from options trading has been rocky over the past two months. It is more of taking a defensive approach to protect the margins and to avoid force liquidation. Even stable counters like MCD and PEP got hit. I did not add to my Mag 7 positions but to trim abit where possible. It is like a game of football. We need to stay in the game and at times, we have to take a defensive approach to wait for the counter attack. If we attack all the times, we will exhaust our energy (funds) and can no longer attack when the opportunity comes.
