Busiest Day So Far Trading SQQQ and SPY Trades

Our call trade with Nasdaq ETF SQQQ has ended hitting the stop loss. The call was sold for $0.89.

On the flip side, we day traded an Oct 9 SPY $289 put for over a 60% return. We purchased the put for $0.66 and sold it for $1.14.

Reasons for both trades are below


- (SQQQ) With expiration next week, a tight stop loss was used.
