Brolic Plunger's Journal

Brolic_Plunger

This is going to be a journal of my trading into the end of the year from October 4th till 2013. I will be trading options on equities in a small account.

Starting amount: $1,811.03

The 3 cents is important :)

Style: Loose and aggressive

I'll post weekly updates to better understand my own trading and because I don't want to be posting constantly. If I put on a swing trade, then I'll post it before I close it for a profit or loss.

GOAL: By 2013 have more than $1,811.03 in the account. Noticed a lot of people having unrealistic goals on here, and perhaps doing it for the first time. I've traded small accounts and it is very easy to blow so I don't want to limit myself with weekly goals or feel bad because I missed the weekly goal. I don't need that noise.

:cool:
 
Only made 1 trade today. SPY puts and Staying short just wasn't working out, so I got out for a small gain. $20 :cool:

Balance: $1,828.32

The attachment shows two other trades I made this week, before I started the journal.

This is my first overnight trade. NUE performed well in a generally down market today, I feel safe holding over night and it's 5 contracts.
