Fun end of day for AAPL. Started today with 131 Calls @ .18, sold 1/4 five minutes later for .30, held the rest. Saw the market stall, picked up 129 Puts @ .22
Long story short, for a trade that cost me .40 on the strangle, I thought I would watch it close in the channel leaving me in purgatory. 3:00 rolls around and she comes to life, I sold the puts for .70 about 5-10 minutes before the close.
Point is, it wasn't a massive profit, and I know it's fun to get the win when you roll the dice on and hit it big on a massive move....but I have a LOT more fun when I have to manufacture profits, save losing trades and pat myself on the back at the end of the day. Speaking of which...I have a 15 year single malt waiting to pat my back right now.
Have a good weekend all.
