- The first trade was a second weekend play on the Coronavirus problem. The surprise effect was gone.
- The second trade was simply a shift in momentum in SPY. It worked
-The third and fourth trades were a spread trade attempt on the jobs number on Friday. It didn't move.
Pretty sure overtrading happen
- The fifth trade was a momentum play as SPY recovered. Ended up buying the top. Life.....
- Pretty sure the fifth trade was overtrading. We were not happy with the lack of movement on the jobs numbers and felt a little stung. It happens and better discipline is needed.
- The closing of the first trade and moving over to an SPY call on the second trade was good trading.
