Happy Monday!
TODAY'S GAIN: -$1,700
My posted, REAL-TIME TRADES WERE UNLUCKY.
If I exited earlier or later, I would have made money today. It's just my luck that I dropped my trades at the most inopportune time. I suppose that's trading -- That's life. I'm happy I play with reasonable enough size to keep the loss within control. Here's to hoping for a green tomorrow!

Both of these trades hit if held until close -- 4 total units!
SPY Return: +$34 (+100%) per $166 signal cost

Total Return: +$66 (+100%) -- This could easily be scaled per $334 signal cost
Thicc Matt's Personal Trades
Trade One: 10 SPX 5345/5340 Put Credit Spreads (Piper Trade Strategy)
This trade was rather unlucky. The chop breached my risk tolerance. If I held, I would have been in the green. I sold at $1.70/ea and bought them back at $4.50/ea -- Meaning my realized loss was $2,800.
Trade Two: 10 SPX 5335/5330 Put Credit Spreads (Piper Trade Strategy)
This trade was rather lucky. The end of day push allowed me to capture full profit. I sold at $1.10/ea and they expired worthless -- This means my REALIZED GAIN WAS $1,100.
Trade One Return: -$2,800
Trade Two Return: $1,100
Total Return: -$1,700 (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!
