    I'm gonna close those additional 15 VMC puts and all of the SYMC calls.
    I could not log on, I took screenshots.
    $8.80 on VMC, 2.70 on SYMC
    Thats $3450 gain on VMC, $2100 on SYMC.
    Total of $5550

    • Good job ........ does that make up most of the $6000 or so lost last week?
    • You should be close to the original balance of $100,000.

    Your on track to beat any butterfly trading.

    In the Tesla thread pretty much at the same time when this was posted (TSLA at 310) I called for 330 in 3 days. Today it topped out at 327.6...

    Just saying. Can we post YOLO trades here?

    Correction to that balance, I just did the math on a calculator to be sure. I used paper earlier.. keeps the mind sharp ya know.

    Anyway, balance is $104,730 (with VMC puts at $8.80)
    $82,730 in cash to play with going forward.
