Weekly chart closed above the high of the low last week which predicted a really strong move this last week. The daily chart is acting like a normal up trend as well. Trailing stop is 334.52 today. I rolled the 332.00 to the 337.00 for next weeks expire. My calendar protection is 323.00 for a 3/20/2020 expire. Then along side this trade I have a Long Call which I bought last week 322.00 for 13.57 and it is trading at 17.66 currently. I have a larger account that I am running this trade in btw.

Rough Week Switch to XLF $2,721.29 -15.2%
Above is a picture of the SPY. I am switching to the SPY because I lost more than I should have this week due to the SPY having more risk than the portfolio allows. By switching to the XLF I am able to manage this account correctly according to my rules. I will post a chart of the XLF on a weekly basis as well as this chart just to keep tracking them together.
Lost a little $3,279.80 +1.5%
We have Coronavirus scare coming on this week. Oil is tanking and the Fed is creating more dollars. Bearish, Bearish and Bullish. I was short at the start of the week. Tuesday I received a signal to get out of the short position. Then today Friday I saw the market moving down with lots of weakness. I went ahead and placed a surfer trade short and was able to scale half before the end of the day.
Early today 10:30 our time
Buy 2 Feb 21 323 Put 4.77 Scale half 5.67
Buy 2 Feb 21 332 Call 1.10 Scale half .90
Sell 2 Feb 21 323 Call 5.48 Scale half 4.85
SPY Weakness…$3,490.00 and 7.4%
Friday’s close on the daily chart indicated to get short the SPY (Conditional Change 329.27). I had rolled the Calendar trade I was doing earlier that morning and then closed it so I was hit with dat trading rules. I am conducting an experiment to take a small account of $3,250.00 and see how much we can pull in a year. So far the account has increased $240.00 which is a 7.4% increase.

Up up and Away
This is quite a push. Maybe now that QE mini is back we will see this continue. Remember to trade what you see. What I see is that we have new highs with on balance volume well above the average. Price up OBV up means strong positive delta trading. I will explain what this means soon in a video.
Pull Back Maybe
August 2nd Market Overview
03/08/2017 Trading
Swing trades…Stopped out of XLU and XLE. Took a loss on the XLE trade. The XLU was a very nice win. Day Trades…Binary trades had one win 2 minute and 1 loss 5 minute.
03/7/2017 Trades
Traded 2 of the 20 minute binary trades 15.00 per with a loss. Traded another strategy off of the 2 minute chart for a win 57 cost and a 43.00 profit minus fees. No 5 minute chart trades today. XLE has still not stopped out. XLU is down to a runner still, seems to of found a sideways channel to take a break in. I am just below it with a stop.
