- $2123 Overnight IDCC gapped up huge in after market, but pulled back on open this morning. I had a stop set too close and got taken out for an unnecessary $2500 loss. Oh well, live and learn - don't hold overnights on news even though the news had been rumored all day.
Unrealized losses estimated around -300. Losses are estimated because I'm holding a profitable SPY put position but I do not yet know the market value as the options market is closed. I am 100% short the market, betting on a tank tomorrow. 1X short YM 5X short 86 SPY PUTS
Not a very good day for me either. I made a few mistakes, but I was able to get back a little bit before the close. -$84
After not trading yesterday, I woke up early and was at it in no time. Good day and since I had no open positions from the night before, no smoking today. Traded all day except for 2 hours when I was playing with my sons. Solid gains without much risk. I wanted to bring it up to 6K but did not want to have overnight positions so I let it go. Final verdict 5.7K. Happy with the results (how could I not be?).
