CLS @12.39
I'm happy about the trade, but the slippage is kind of brutal.

QQ Daytrading Journal for Accountability and Consistency

- Start date
Marks were 193.7 and 193.99 respectively. I bought 90 delta, but only made 16 vs a theoretical 26. Vol going down for that expiration set? Probably. Maybe we should be trying spreads if the options are this close to expiration?

That'd be sweet if this fills the gap.

Dear Diary,
Looks like a quiet start for the day, right at the meat of yesterday's action.
Going to try and format this journal in a more pleasant way so that it's not just boring fills but also more thoughts on my open and close reasoning so when I look back at this I can see what I was thinking. I already do that on my personal journal but according to Arnold, reps are good.

Finally some life. "Shorting" here and if it goes down, it should go down hard.

Went with 2 contracts instead of one: same delta, more spice.

For what I was expecting, this seemed a little too weak. This is an early close but We'll see if it's justified.
Edit:
Yeah... should have held for the rest of the bar. That's something I need to work on. But these days have so much extra punch I've been getting out at the first signs of trouble. Better out early with profit than late with a loss?
