Pure Market Chaos
TODAY'S GAIN: -$40,000
My posted, REAL-TIME TRADES WERE... The opposite of good :(
I was a little too cocky from my gain last week. I wasn't reading the price action well. And to top it all off, I was too slow in letting go of my losers. As you can imagine when you put all of these ingredients together, it makes a pretty horrible tendie dish.

SPY Return: +$15 (+100%) per $85 signal cost

Total Return: +$23 (+100%) -- This could easily be scaled per $177 signal cost
Thicc Matt's Personal Trades
Trade One: 30 SPX 5125 Puts (Degen Yolo)
Even though this trade was a huge loss, I don't hate it. I waited for a smalled timeframe reversion to once againg align with the overall trend. The entry doesn't bother me at all. I ended up being early, which is going to happen a lot the more you trade. My issue was the oversizing, which prompted me to holder onto this loser longer than I should have. By the time everything settled, my average entry was $17.97/ea, and my average exit was $4.31/ea -- This means my realized loss was $40,970.
Trade Two: 4 NDX 18,500 Calls (Revenge Degen Yolo)
In an effort to make my loss back quickly, I made to stupid decision to revenge trade. Fortunately, this one didn't cost me anything. I got lucky. My average entry was $130.00/ea, and my average exit was $135.00/ea -- This means my REALIZED GAIN WAS $2,000.
Trade Three: 30 x SPX 5200/5195 Put Credit Spread (Scalp Strategy Trade)
I'm not sure what in the world I was thinking, but I randomly decided to excute my normal scalp strategy today. It was illogical and clearly cost me. My average entry was $1.50/ea, and my average exit was $2.10/ea -- This means my realized loss was $1,200.
Trade Four: 6 NDX 17,000 Puts (Reasonable Trend Swing Trade)
I'm a fan of this trade, but it has not been closed out. It's up to the Market Gods if I make money or not. Godspeed.
Trade One Return: -$40,970
Trade Two Return: +$2,000
Trade Three Return: -$1,200
Trade Four Return: Unknown
Total Return: -$40,170 (before fees)

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!
