BLMN Update: The position unexpectedly reversed with conflicting price action. I decided to close it at a loss of $25.
Redeployment: The risk savings of $49 were reallocated into ASPN ($24.5) and CE ($24.5), both of which exhibit better price action among our current four positions.

I'm now focusing on managing my trades as a portfolio, which helps me avoid fixating on individual trades and instead evaluate how each one contributes to achieving my broader objectives.
