  hi snake!
 
 how do you manage your position size re: 25 trades at 25% starting at $4K?
 
 are you meaning each trade taken will be $4K in size (which is what i assumed you meant)?
 
 Tks!

  Hey - I send 50% of my account and look for a 50% gain, which equates to a 25% total account gain.  I will compound my gains, so 25% plays each play (outside of an inevitable loss) for 25 plays starting from 4K equates to around $1M.
 
 I usually average down if it moves against me at the open and look for a breakeven exit, which I did not do on my last play and paid for it!

  Missed a signal on XLE Short on Friday.  As long as the option doesn't move too far I will be buying XLE puts for this Friday 10/23.

  Picked up 30 VXX 10/30 $21 Puts @ .38 right at the close
 Picked up 25 XLF 10/30 $25.50 Calls @ .26 right at the close
 
 Have around $250 to throw at it tomorrow if these go against me at all.

  Haven't posted in a while - took a little break during the election based on volatility.
 
 Just picked up 17 contracts of GDX $36 11/13 PUTS for .15 right before close.

  Late post, but ended up selling for .16 yesterday.  Tried to hold out for 100% up, but only hit 75% - should've taken profits, but sold before I incurred a loss.
 
 Watching TLT calls very closely - more news about lockdowns will send this market into a tailspin.
