Sold my Calls for gain of 26%

| 0 Comments
We have a nice up move in the Q's (and markets in general) and the Q's are showing a little bit of a slowdown on the move this morning, so I took my gains while I could. The Q's are currently trading up over 2% this morning.

For this trade I was in 100 contracts of the QQQQ Aug 46 calls (QQQHT) with a cost basis of $0.41. I sold them at $0.52 which was a greater than 26% gain on this trade.

I will be on vacation next week (Disney cruise with the family) so I'm hanging up my trading hat for the rest of the week.

I just did a quick check of my portfolio and right now I'm currently up over 42% in my trading account this year. In theory I could take off the rest of the year and have a great return for the year, but what fun would that be.
