    CL hitting yesterday low congestion, other measures of downside targets. Content to be scratch for the day, successful week.

    fwiw I have nothing to advertise, promote or sell here. Just affirming the fact that holy grails do exist, per se. That's a combination of system, symbol, trader's mentality and self-discipline. ALL are equally critical parts.

    Trade on, be well y'all :)

  4. In fairness, my MT5 terminal (via AMP) doesn't show real time commissions either. It's annoying AF and they sync it at the end of every day (I think it's around midnight) so it isn't reflected until the next calendar day.

  5. Well, did better getting out on the highs. Out the rest here 4.50 for the mid. Only +45%

    Still have the Sept $55c going on this one (which I think is the only position I have left in here). I'll tally it up when I close this one and see how you did.

  6. And with all breakouts comes a time to pay the piper. Out of these at 1.6 today for 58% loss.

    Anyway, normalized for 1 contract of the CGC $45c (And 2 of the 50 and 55 calls), and 5 of the BOX (which is pretty close to even position size):
    $300, $620, $760 on CGC calls respectively, returning $726, $750 + $450, and $320. Total bought $1,680, total sold $2,246. +34%
    BOX was bought at $375 and sold at $150

    All told, 2,055 in, 2,396 out. +17% (and for those playing the home game, resting orders meant I took rebates in excess of commission on this trade, and fills on the outside of the spread which improved my numbers considerably). So, 17% in 11 days....against the tide of marketable orders...not bad, huh?
