Just after 2:50 p.m. we entered a put option trade. The market went our way briefly but then started to reverse. Given the volatility of the day, we weren’t willing to risk too much. As it continued to rally, we exited our position at 3 p.m. for -30%.  It didn’t go our way today, but we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!

Daily Outlook

We forecast an up day in the market and entered our positions at 9:35 a.m.  Today was a “High Volatility Trade” which means the trade is higher risk and we use our adjusted guidelines as discussed on the website. As the market ran in our forecast direction rather quickly, we adjusted our trailing stop. As we hit over 50% we started using about a 10% trailing stop. There was a fast pullback and as it did, we exited our positions just after 9:45 a.m. for +68% in SPX and +69% in SPY. Another profitable day and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!
