Bought T Oct11'19 38/37.5 Bull Put for a credit of -0.31 = (Sold T Oct11'19 38 Put @0.89 / Bought T Oct11'19 37.5 Put @0.58) Stock price was ~37.78 JP
Bought (again) SPY Oct7'19 295 PUT. @1.70 (SPY was ~296.10) I need some short in my port. Don't like this downthrust today. The daily graph still looks vulnerable to more down today. JP
Sold again @2.45 (SPY was ~294.40) since we're at the level again I posted on Saturday. P/L on this trade: +42% All my positions are red today but this one makes more then up for it today. (Though I shouldn't daytrade) JP
sold @-0.695 (stock price was ~47.57) sold @0.66 (stock price was ~52.86) sold @2.40 (stock price was ~2.40) Taking my losses on those... JP
Looking back in hindsight to yesterday. Those trades triggered stop loss levels, which somehow made me sell at the worst possible time. Only to recover above those levels at the end of the day. Anyway, it's more a daytrader kind of market now (imo). Daily swings are great. JP
as a follow up: stoploss levels for HD / KO / WFC -48% on that position Broke through stop level and the daily bar closed back above it. Was sold prematurely. -45% on that position. Stop was clearly breached. -57% on that position. (not 100% sure this calculation is correct but I take .63 as maximum loss) Looked like going straight to hell at the time, only to close above the stop level. A bit of a bummer but no big harm was done. Meanwhile last week was a great daytrading environment. It has motivated me to pick up again a sideproject. Something I want to automate with futures. JP
