It didnt look good last night when i went to bed.
But turned out to be not too bad of a day.
Plus500 CFDs
I had bought wheat yesterday and of course it started dropping and dropping but im trying to be more patient with the trade and stomach the volatility for a longer term upside.
I got out of gold for a profit and bought back silver for a small loss after it had recovered a bit from a bigger loss.
I had entered a few stocks like FTR or AFL but they all went against me and stopped out.
Im also noticing that in this account, the premium for holding stock positions is extremely high and im not going to do this anymore.
Tastyworks
I had sold a RUT calendar yesterday that went against me but recovered nicely in todays downturn. Lets hope for another down day tomorrow. Also for QQQs sake. Both the IC and the short call spread were happy today as they made back some gains.
CORN is continuing to underperform and its painful to remind myself that this is a long term position.
I put on a earnings Iron Fly in ADBE which is probably going to be a full loser as it looks at the moment, but who knows, maybe its going to recover until Friday.
Thinkorswim
Weed stocks slightly down toay as well as CORN but other positions that i had almost written off, like a short put spread in IYR and a covered put in POT saved the day at least a little bit.
The positions in here are shrinking and i cant wait to transfer some money out to Tastyworks.
ToS papertrading
I tried catching some day trades into the close but that stuff is hard and i didnt get anything done.
The swing positions lost a little bit, mainly (again) because of CORN and also because of the 600 short shares of VXX that i have there.
In there i recently sold 3 puts to hedge against the imminent volatility spike.
Its going to be nice to see these loose value when it spikes and ill be happy to add more short shares once were back up at reasonable VIX levels.
Overall not the most spectacular day, but its nice to take a breather.
