September 7, 2022 Day Trades 5 and 6
We had two trades today, both turned out positive, but very little profit for the amount of risk taken. The first trade today (Trade 5 in this test) was a 5 put position in SPY taken at 9:58am with a 9/9 393 Put and sold at 10:07am. The second trade started at 11:15am, another put position with 5 395 9/9 puts purchased at 11:15am and sold 20 minutes later at 11:35am. I am disappointed in the simulator again as the price purchased and sold, especially in the second trade was off considerably what my notes indicated. These two trades should have netted about $175 profit (combined), but instead netted $70 per the simulator. So my new balance for the account = $6242. No more trades today, have a couple of things to do, and the World Champion Braves have a game at 3:30PM too. By the way, they are now in first place in the NL East, with a win over Oakland, and a Mets loss. Here is a link to some Atlanta Braves merchandise. See below for a graphic of today’s trades.
