Jan 17th Trading Log (Fri Trading Plan):

I’ve been following technical indicators for over two decades, and they all failed at times, except the daily NYMO (and three standard errors), although an extreme low works better than an extreme high. Nonetheless, it totally failed this time. The daily NYMO closed at 94 and its 10-day MA is 96, which is unprecedented by a large margin. Moreover, SPY and QQQ are in the middle of many resistance levels. I expect, at least, greater volatility, if not a substantial pullback. So, I’ll buy puts on bounces, and sell on pullbacks. Puts that expire after tomorrow - the January 18 puts - will have huge leverage, and huge gains can be made, if the market sells into the weekend.

My portfolio is about $420,000 including $315,100 in cash.

Portfolio at $100,000 on Mar 1st, 2018. Portfolio stop loss raised to $300,000. Stop loss will be strictly enforced and extreme caution will be taken if triggered to avoid large losses and preserve capital in "irrational" market periods.
