TODAY'S GAIN: -$35,000
My posted, REAL-TIME TRADES WERE TRASH -- Today's whipsaw caused me to go on tilt. I wasn't disciplined enough to keep my size in control. I kept going bigger, and it kept getting worse. All the revenge trading made me lose a decent chunk of my recent profits. The details were discussed in real-time in the Goonie Trading Discord. Feel free to learn from, or laugh at, my silly mistakes.

Trade XXX: Whipsawed & Horrible Tilt
As you can see, today was a horrible mess for me. I took a few good trades that unfortunately didn't go my way. Instead of accepting it as a normal part of trading, I traded aggressively to make it back. This almost always ends horribly. Today was no exception for me. Lady leverage made me pay dearly. I share all of this because it's the right thing to do. Trading isn't always pretty. I showcase all my wins, so it's only fair you also know about my losses.
Total Return: -$35,000

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!
