Metrics

Notes

- VXX trade was a momentum trade. While it was much higher during the week, the stop loss allowed for the Disney trade which was very well. Rules are adaptable, but still worth it. We trade this on a regular basis. 

- The Starbucks (SBUX) trade was based on the stock banging on the $80 resistance. It broke out on Friday and nearly doubled the value of the call. We trade this periodically. It is regularly on our radar.

- The Dow Jones (DIA) trade was a fight. While it did provide a profit, having a looser stop would have created much more value. Because the jobs number was an anomoly, the tighter stop was still appreciated to a degree. We trade this periodically.

- The Disney (DIS) trade was based on the stock getting through $125, and it did. The call nearly doubled and we sold. This was the first trade for us.

Any profits go to taxes, charity, investors, and back into the trading account, in that order.

May 25-29 Week In Review (VXX, SBUX)

Here are some metrics and notes for the week.

Date Entry	Security	Option	Cost	Date Sold	Amount Received	Per Contract Result
5/22/20	VXX	May 29 $29 Put	$0.11	Expired	$0.00	-$0.11
5/27/20	SBUX	June 19th $90 Call	$0.06	5/28	$0.05	-$0.01
5/28	XLF	June 5 $22.50 call	0.17	5/29	0.2	0.03
Total						-$0.09

Notes
- The first (VXX) trade was speculating on the idea that VXX hadn't moved. It was wrong.
- The second (SBUX) trade was a mistake. The purchase happened as expected but the sale was caught when the market dove for about 30 minutes. The quote was listed as $0.10 when the trade was executed but ended up at $0.05. Weird and not enjoyable. But we move forward.
- The third trade was a retracement play on the leg up that the banks made.
