I did nothing much today.

Just one trade

Sold 670/680 AAPL call spread for 4.50

Profit +150

End of the day portfolio value 970 (all cash)

09/05/2012

Trade 1: Sold to open weekly 680 call for 3.20

So now I have 670/680 spread for 3.

Note: I should have just sold my 670 for +3 but I was away from desk and order executed.

Things are looking better. Due to small amount I have decided to play 1-2 trades everyday and keep overnight only if I am very sure about it.

 

Initial portfolio $820

Trade1
Bought $AAPL 675 call for 6.20

Keeping it overnight. Current value is 8.45. I am looking for gap up in $AAPL. I will sell some OTM call if I get nice jump tomorrow.

 

8/30/2012

Sold $AAPL calls for 4.00

Total profit $110.

 

End of the day portfolio : $820

First winning day after long time, feels good.

Final note: I am going on vacation so I will not trade tomorrow. Coming back next week and will be more active for this challenge. I am ready for it

Resuming my challenge. 8/30/2012

After losing almost $1300 in first month, I am giving it another shot.

I have $710 left in my challenge account. Please note I was trading during this suspended period but please don’t count those trades for this challenge as I told in my last blog post that I am going on sideline.

Trade 1:

Bought 2 $AAPL 665 weekly calls for 3.45.

 

08/21/2012

Staying on side line until I get my mojo back, can’t lose any more money in this challenge. My regular trading is going.

Closed  $Goog 675 call for 5.80 for $20 loss.

 

Portfolio value $710

8/20/2012

Initial portfolio $730

Trade1
Bought $Goog 675 call for 6

That’s it.
