Just discovered some comments that I wasn't notified were there awaiting moderation. I'll catch up answering these tomorrow.
We're getting a lot of volatility in the stock markets. Around 10% down and then 10% up. Markets were awesome until about June 26 and have been a bit more difficult since. However, I closed the month of June well ahead of my plan. July is starting slowly but there are 22 days left in this month and I expect to hit my plan of at least 10% return.
My AAPL trade closed on Friday for a 4% loss. The trade just didn't work. Same, -4%, with the TLT. I've changed my directional view on the TLT, so closed the position.
My RUT position will be decided this week. I'm expecting a pullback and then a rally. If the rally comes early then no adjustment, otherwise I'll need a tweak.
I had an EEM trade on that I took off today at +7%. It was a butterfly with a short bias that partly balanced the RUT long bias. As I'm looking for the RUT to rally from here I decided that the EEM could rally with the RUT so I should take profits.
EL TRADES OPTIONS
This blog will show my longer term Swing trades using OPTIONS. I use specific income producing option strategies with a DIRECTIONAL BIAS. Having a directional bias is critical in earning more, even from what are generally called income trades such as butterflies and condors. The aim of my strategies is to give me more than a 66% edge and to provide a greater than 80% win rate within that edge. The blog shows you the trades I make and how I manage them. For my directional bias, I use the same EL methodology as I employ in my day trading that you have seen for years in the original ElectronicLocal blog. Read the disclaimer.
