Covered XLU short at 28.04.  My target was 27.50 but I don’t feel comfortable holding on for those last few cents.  6.5% gain on the trade.  Here’s  a quick status update on how I’ve traded thusfar.

Long SPY Feb 85 Calls

Filed under: Options,Portfolio Progress — Jorge @ 4:04 pm

Long SPY Feb 85 Calls @ 1.47.  I’m seeing the SPY on a 30d/30m chart riding an upward trendline.  If the trend breaks, I’ll exit.  I doubt I’ll hold this through the rest of the week.

Stopped out of USO @ 26.97

Filed under: Index and ETFs,Portfolio Progress — Jorge @ 3:55 pm

Stopped out EOD at 26.97.  7% loss which was near my max pain threshold.  I like to close trades within the last 10 minutes of trading as it removes emotion from the trade.  Had USO hit $26, my emergency stop would have been hit, no questions asked.  I got half of the energy complex equation correct.  A shame crude didn’t rally to the same extent natural gas did the past couple of weeks.
