2 winners // 2 small losses – Reducing exposure

Ruben Leija

Aug '25 • 🏆 Wins

• TTD calls @ -5% loss ❌

• CMG calls @ -7% loss ❌

• CELH shares sold half @ +54% Gains ☢️

• ZETA shares sold half @ +3.71% Gains 💸

These aren't random exits. They were pat of a bigger plan.

Historically, September and October are pullback months of the year, and they tend to be drawdown-heavy periods for the market.

Instead of being overexposed, I'm actively reducing risk by closing trades, trimming winners, and taking smaller gains.

The goal isn't to avoid trades altogether, but to reduce exposure in certain sectors so I have buying power ready for better opportunities when volatility shakes out.

This is the difference between trading a plan vs. just reacting – locking in profits, cutting small losses, and staying positioned to play offense when others are trapped.
