I just want to log all my losing trade this year. My goals are to:
1. determine if the trade was taken with the correct setup.
2. determine how it turned into a losing trade.
4. Finally to minimize the lost in the future facing a similar position.
YTD 3 losing trade out of 28 option trades. I'll just list my previous loses and start to analyze the new ones as I take them.
1.AMZN -$-$4,490.48
held 5 days, bought on 01/27/2012 sold on 02/01/2012
this was an earning play.
2. AAPL -$498.85
held 1 day, bought on 02/01/2012, sold on 02/02/2012
3.AAPL -$24422.51
held 3 days, bought on 03/27/2012, sold on 03/30/2012
bad entry, could of gotten out with a small profit or a smaller lost, Friday gap down.
