FML
Have I had a few High Noons? Yea, but that doesn't change the fact that today sucked balls. The strategy did end up hitting though. You might be thinking how did the strategy work but you lost money??? The short answer is I'm fucking stupid.
My posted, REAL-TIME TRADE sucked ass!!! Today's gain was enough to pay for more than NEGATIVE TWENTY YEARS of Discord membership. If you haven't joined, congrats! You dodged a bullet.
Piper Still Worked
A BULLISH signal, 4/5 strength, was generated at 10:15am ET. This signal was a mixture of both the Piper and Roo System. The signal was used with various advanced options strategies to score (don't worry, I'll teach you every aspect of the strategy).
Both of these trades hit -- 4 total units!
Total Return: +$56/signal (+100%) -- This could easily be scaled per $344/signal.
Thicc Matt's Personal Trade
I took one trade today and it reminded me why I hate trading. I thought I knew "more" than the posted strategy, so I ended up taking a higher risk trade than I should of. Did I manage it properly afterwards??? FUCK NO, lol. I went on tilt and let it blowup in my face. I would love to say I learned from this and will be better in the future, but we all know that's not true :(
As shown, the loss was taken at $4.90 for all 15 positions (way past my set risk of $3.25/ea).
Total Return: -$6,200
The TLDR
A HORRIBLE $6,200 LOSS. Don't listen to me! Listen to Piper or Roo instead, which hit again (4 total units).

SPY missed & QQQ hit
The Trump-China-Trade announcement from the NYT knocked me out of my position. The CCS's were sold at $1.80/ea and I was forced to buy them backl at $4.40 -- This means my realized loss was $3,120 :(
The hedge did exactly what hedge plays are meant to do. It balanced me out! These PCS's were sold at $0.85/ea and expired worthless -- THIS MEANS MY REALIZED GAIN WAS $2,975!
