    Playing the potential increase in implied vol as AAPL nears. More so though, playing this sell off on decreased volume, testing 50% fib retracement of last week's surge. Paid 2.15 for a 10% portfolio position. Stop at 1.6. Target half at 3.5, second half at 5.

    Results on closed positions

    AAPL

    10% position entry 3.1 exit 2 = 3.55% loss on account so i lost $3.55 on my 100 dollar account

    10% position entry 1.8 exit 4.4 avg = 14.4% gain on account so madd $14.44

    PL on exited position total

    10.8% gain on portfolio


    Unrealized PL

    AMD
    10% position, entry 4 current bid at 5.1 = 2.5% of port gain

    QQQQ
    50% position, entry (avg of 2.625) Current bid at 3.6 = 18.57% of port gain.

    Total Unrealized PL = 21.07

    so total PL = 31.87%

    So I made 31.87 dollars.

    I can go buy some McDees, Apple Pies on me!

    Raising stop of AMD position to 5, target remains 6. Raising stop on QQQQ calls to 3, target remains 4.4.

    Have a good night everyone.

    This is much too difficult to post, I am going to post actual positions from now on. I will be trading with 100k. I have withdrew the gains I made on my previous positions - I like to keep my trading account at the same amount.
