Haven't posted in a long while....
Overall - end of march was at breakeven for the year
April - was negative $670
May 1st to 21st - made next to no progress, would make gains then give it back (was negative $670 at that point)
May 22nd to May 31st - major turnaround! Made $2500 in that period, and am now up just under $1900 for the year.
Had my first +$1000 day on May 23rd, and have changed my risk strategy considerably. I was primarily aiming for home runs and not setting tight stops, exposing myself to alot more risks than I should have. The big gains primarily came from holding AAPL calls, selling and scaling back into new positions while not risking the existing capital.
Yesterday - +$952.64
Today- +$190.47
Overall YTD - +$1870.
Not bad considering it's a locked in account with NO LEVERAGE (no margin on those accounts in canada), with no shorting allowed! Gotta love having your arms tied!
