I sure did. I closed all my GC positions overnight. (Pat on the back) Unfortunately, I can’t say the same for my short ES. I just added and...
Well that was a swingy day. +$15k at one point, -$15k an hour later. End the day slightly in the red. ES moving +15 points after-hours with...
JP: "Ongoing increases will be necessary...". This might put a pin in whether or not there's only one more 25 bps hike remaining.
I hope JP doesn’t use the same speech writer as Tiff Macklem from the Bank of Canada.
The risk to bears is if this is not a given.
1. I dropped the ball badly on ES. I was aggressive with my shorts going into the close. Flattening out half an hour before the close would have...
1. My two SPX time spreads worked very well today with volatility picking up. I was tempted to close one of them, but didn't. Re-entered some of...
Legged into a NFLX put diagonal (+Mar 360/-Feb 340). I could see it going back down to its pre-earnings level of $340. IVP = 1% so potentially a...
Is everyone male on this forum?
No. 5% DD relative to the high-water mark. A 5% DD in a day would be a very bad day. Account size is relative, but here is my journal. I...

I'm usually bummed when trading closes on Friday with no trading on weekends, but I'm welcoming a break this weekend. I'm drained and a weekend...
Well that didn't quite work. I should have closed the additional longs half an hour after I bought them as GC went up to 1959. 1. I peeled off...
Interesting price action in GC this week with local lows at around 6:30 MT. Added to my GC position with 4 GC contracts filled @1950.30. Will it...
1. It was definitely a more interesting day than yesterday. I hacked up my ES trades but still modestly positive. I don't think I did anything...
Bought back NQ at 11841. I think it's still going to be an interesting evening.
LOL. New dilemma. I can now exit NQ with a scratch. This move down from the evening open feels very unhealthy. I'm going to stick with the...
1. What a boring day. One small put roll up. 2. Can't complain about gold. It's doing what I want it to do. 3. I played MSFT earnings to the...
