Apr 23rd Trading Log (Wed Trading Plan):

Over the past 18 trading days, there has been almost no volatility to trade SPY puts, while SPY drifted higher from 280 to 293. Fortunately, I’ve been cautious, until today, and expect volatility to pick up soon. It seems, I’ll lose more than expected, until I regain the losses and more, before the June puts expire. I expect a much lower market before then. If the market rises higher tomorrow, I’ll start buying SPY and QQQ May puts, because they’ll be cheaper with more leverage. I’ll be looking for pullbacks to sell some puts.

My portfolio is about $565,000 including $244,900 in cash.

QQQ Jun 190 2019 200
MSFT Jun 130 2019 20
AAPL Jun 210 2019 10

Portfolio at $100,000 on Mar 1st, 2018. Portfolio stop loss raised to $450,000. 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.
