Jan 2nd Trading Log (Premarket):

Looks like SPX will open over 20 points higher, after rising straight up with no significant pullbacks in the entire month of December. Typically, the bigger the rise, the bigger the fall. So, I'll buy AAPL Jan 10 puts and VXX Jan 10 calls. If necessary, I'll sell the SPY puts, which have less leverage. There may be a lot more volatility to trade for gains.

My portfolio is over $360,000 including $57,500 in cash.

Calls Contracts-Shares Long

VXX Jan 14.5 200 weekly 3rd
VXX Jan 14 100 weekly 10th

Puts Contracts-Shares Short

SPY Apr 315 2020 50
SPY Jun 315 2020 100
AAPL Jan 280 300 weekly 3rd
AAPL Jan 285 300 weekly 3rd
AAPL Jan 290 400 weekly 3rd
AAPL Jan 290 300 weekly 10th

Portfolio at $100,000 on March 1st, 2018. Portfolio stop loss lowered to $200,000. Scaled up and adjusted portfolio. Both prior portfolios, since the early 2000s, rose initially and substantially, and then failed quickly in “irrational” market “melt-ups.”
