Tuesday, 20. June 2017 - up and down and...
Had a great Friday.
Gold went down nicely and with the drop in equities, all of the other accounts did well too.
Was quite happy.
Then today came along and while im not super red today, it felt meh.
Plus500 CFDsPut on a few positions last night, short Gold and Silver and took off some of the energy shorts as i think Oil might want to bounce here.
Also shorted AFL which went against me over night.
First it looked like Gold/Silver might make up for the loss, but its lunchtime now and Silver is bouncing and Gold came back up a bit as well.
Im going to keep holding though as they both have broken key resistances and i see a bit more downside.
TastyworksI added a skewed iron condor in QQQ, taking advantage of the high implied volatility especially compared to the SPY and DIA.
Also added a short put spread in XOP.
Im pretty short in here now and i think i want to add some long delta in form of a short call spread in VIX or something like that, just to hedge a bit of the risk as overall i still think a correction is overdue!
ToS optionsGreen slightly, though CORN isnt working out the way i want it to just yet.
And the weed stocks arent doing too well either.
Reduced a lot of positions here and soon ill be able to wire out some money to Tastyworks.
Though i will keep the account as i want to keep practicing day trading with live data.
ToS papertradingI did another short daytrading session last night to see if i could make a profit in the first 30-45min and ended up making $55 before commissions. Im trying to trade realistic size to get used to how it will be once i start trading real money.
Generally i feel i did pretty well.
I shorted X way too early and when it bounced offt the vwap the third time i went out with a bit of a loss but luckily SNAP showed perfect bear flags that i managed to trade nicely with a clearly defined risk off vwap. I exited way too early though. I really need to have the patience to wait for that first confirmed green candle when shorting and not just jump out as soon as its green for a second.
I traded another symbol that i dont remember which i find i traded quite nicely.
Bought the initial dip and rode it up nicely for a good profit and when it started stalling i got rid of 1/2 and when the first candle confirmed below vwap i got out.
I love this! Its 45-60min of intense focus, then it slows down and you can look at stuff more relaxed.
After the first few sessions i feel ive learned sooo much and i feel i do have a knack for it, so ill keep doing two sessions a week to be able to practice more.
In the swing trading account i think i took a downturn but ill have to look at it tonight to see how bad it was.
Im thinking of buying a /CL future once it bounces but we will see when that will happen.
