Easy, quick $263, 18% win. DBX was insane Thursday and Friday morning!

This was not a bad trade, but I was at an event at market open and could not check my phone . . . I could have gotten out with another half-point per contract. Still, you can't go wrong with taking an 11% profit.

TWTR was in the news every day for its growth and upside potential. Very hot play; all over CNBC, IBD, etc. I saw some definite upward movement. A big price jump of 5% on June 5 got me in. I held on as it climbed higher (albeit with one small setback) over the next week; Tuesday the 12th, it opened up 5% on news of a JP Morgan upgrade. It was up almost 50%; I set my limit $0.30 higher and it made it within ten minutes.

Great trade on a fast-moving stock. Nothing gets buyers' attention more than calling a stock "the Chinese Netflix."

This was a put option bought on a downtrending day - basically a scratch.

Decent trade.

Good enough, at one point this option was up 50%, why didn't I sell at that point?? *bangs head against wall*

SPY was trending strong and looking to break out after a long sideways period.

Very happy with this, it far exceeded my goal although I could have made quite a bit more if I had held.

It was a Fed announcement Wednesday; one of my favorite plays - just wait for the vol spike at 2 pm and get out
