Oct 12th Trading Log (Updates):
No trades today. I expect SLB to rise at least several more points by end of year, and PDD to rise above 100 again. I expected much more volatility with VXX. Perhaps, volatility will pick up over earnings this month. And, I plan to look for opportunities to trade options that expire in a day or two on stocks after earnings are reported, because of implied volatities deflating, more volatility, and huge leverage.
My portfolio is about $350,000 including $237,800 in cash.
Calls Contracts-Shares Long
VXX Nov 25 2021 150
PDD Jan 100 2022 10
SLB 2,000 shares
Puts Contracts-Shares Short
None
Portfolio at $100,000 on March 1st, 2018. Portfolio stop loss suspended. Scaled up and adjusted portfolio. Both prior portfolios, since early 2000s, rose initially and substantially, and then failed quickly in “irrational” market “melt-ups," where stocks can go straight up month after month. |
