Daily Outlook
We forecast a down day in the market and entered our positions at 9:35 a.m. We were watching the 6005 level in the SPX as our possible stop level. We didn’t immediately exit at the first test of that level, but as it hit that level a second time we exited our positions just after 9:50 a.m. for -25% in SPX and -21% in SPY. Just didn’t go our way, so we shake it off and look forward to what tomorrow will bring.
Aggressive Trader
We forecast a down day in the market and entered our positions at 9:35 a.m. We exited our positions just after 10:05 a.m. for -61% in SPX and -52% in SPY. Just didn’t go our way, so we shake it off and look forward to what tomorrow will bring.
Spread Trader
We held our SPX Spread Trader position to the close for -50% ROM. Just didn’t go our way, so we shake it off and look forward to what tomorrow will bring.
Late Day Trader
Just before 2 p.m. we entered a put option trade. The market briefly ran in our direction and then reversed direction just as quickly. This fast of a reversal is always concerning. We gave our position about a 70% trailing stop and as the rally continued we exited our position just before 2:10 p.m. for -47%. We weren’t willing to risk any further downside, given that fast rally. Unfortunately, it just didn’t go our way, so we shake it off and look forward to what tomorrow will bring.

Daily Outlook
We forecast a down day in the market and entered our positions at 9:40 a.m. As the market went in our direction, we started using a trailing stop. As we hit over +65% we were using about a 25% trailing stop. As the market started to rally quickly, we exited our positions just before 10 a.m. for +41% in SPX and +40% in SPY. Another profitable day and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!
Aggressive Trader
We forecast a down day in the market and entered our positions at 9:40 a.m. We exited our positions at 10:00 a.m. for -3% in SPX and 0% in SPY. Basically, a flat day and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring.
Spread Trader
We exited our SPX Spread Trade early for a return +6% ROM. Another profitable day and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!
Late Day Trader
Just after 1:45 p.m. we entered a put option trade. The market briefly ran in our direction and then reversed direction on us. Ultimately resulting in a -100% loss by the close. Losses like this are never ideal, but they are a part of this high-risk, speculative strategy. While today didn’t work out as planned, we look forward to what tomorrow will bring.
