    I closed my GLD position with +300 profit. There was no point waiting until tomorrow as the only way for bigger profit was price fall to exact range.

    Last week was a small loss. Details in the picture. Bidu is a shame - it was in a nice profit middle of the week. Account still in profit overall.

    good stuff, I still have basically no idea on how the spreads work. or what I would do to find a good spread like you trade. But its very good. Are you gonna go live with this strategy after u reach 100 trades if its still profitable?

    I closed BIDU trade for $800 profit as it was too much risk in a worst case scenario.
    This is a new trade:
    BIDU 10x: Buy 3x 92.5 Put / Sell 1x 95.0 Put

    I closed BIDU and CLF for about $500 profit in total. For any more profit price would have to move in exact direction exact amount. Unfortunately, BAC is in big loss now, so whole account in red (this week and today).

    Week 6 is probably the worst week so far.

    Where is the risk control on BAC?
