Up day + $3.90 up 15% on the day....... and 19% since the start

Alright so today was a very profitable day. I started the day looking at the economic numbers that came out which made me think that the Dow was going down, but I didnt act on that news. I waited till about 1.25 then I decided to put in an order to buy 1 contract of the DOW.14.AUG.HIGHER contract @ 95 giving me a profit potential of $.50. The DOW was trading at about +130 but I did this because I saw that the DOW wasn't too likely to close lower with my observations and I was getting a pretty good profit potential. Then a few minutes later I placed 1 order for the DOW.14.AUG.+25 @ 89.5 giving me a profit potential of about $1.00. After I placed these orders the market started to stall and dipped down a little to about 102 I then saw a very good position but I had only about $7.30 in margin so I had to place a limit order on the DOW.14.AUG.HIGHER @ 73, luckly that order was filled because this position turned out to be the most profitable on the day. The profit potential was $2.70 which is way above the target $1.30. I was worried a little bit throughout the day as I saw the DOW dip to about 66 but I remained calm and stuck to the gameplan and came out with a profit. The profit for the day was $3.90 which is over the target of $1.30 and I am $.30 off of my weekly target $5.00 or 20%.









So tomorrow I need a profit of $.30 in order to stay on target.
