I know, I didn’t post an update yesterday. I was pissed, plain and simple. That and we received about 3 inches of rain in less than an hour so I had to go pick up my wife since I didn’t want her driving in that mess. Anyways, yesterday was a mess.
Yesterday’s Trades: 4 contracts traded. Closed out V puts for a loss and BHP for a small gain.
Yesterday’s Profit / Loss: -$84
No new account highs 
Toward the close, not only was I in a better mood, I was pissed I sold my V and BHP puts. But that’s how life goes. In retrospect, I should have never sold BHP since it didn’t violate any of my rules. No matter.
Today’s Trades: 0 Sales
Today’s Profit / Loss: None
Today’s Profit / Loss On Paper: 
And that’s why today I’m in a hell of a mood. Second $1k day in the past couple of weeks.
*** New Account High ***
P.S. I’m only giddy until I hit $10k. At this rate, it may happen by the end of the summer. I don’t expect it to but one never knows. I would like to see $10k by the end of the year though.
Seems like you have really hit your groove. I want to see $20k by the end of the summer.

You seem to know what you’re doing, so hopefully, you will make it to 10K before the year end. BTW, thanks for the lesson in the previous post. I think I understand hedging better now. You do this full time?

Wild,
Thanks. I’m hoping this is more than just luck. We’ll see lol.
Ling,
I wish I was doing this full time. I’m trying to wrap up my PhD over the next year so being a college student excess funds are low. With what I’m working with, it seems like I’m not doing a bad job.
With regards to hedging, see how the markets are down a ton so far? I’m inclined to take out some calls on the DIA / SPY *just* in case. Never know what happens over the weekend. But like insurance, it may or may not be needed. Let’s see what happens over the weekend.
