UP Day +$.80 +2.8% UP +20% for the week


Well today was a pretty calm day the Dow really didn't develop a clear trend so I had to change up my strategy and I decided to use the TOUCH contracts which basically expire worthless unless the Dow touches a specific point level. I sold the Dow.15.AUG.Touch-50 which will expire worthless if the Dow doesn't go down -50 points any time during the session. I sold @ 9.5 for a total profit potential of $.95. I completed the trade at about 2:40PM and I only sold 1 contract because I only needed $.30 for the day to reach my target and I wasn't worth the risk to add another contract. Well this probably was the cleanest trade of the week because right after I sold the contract the Dow rallied and it was smooth sailing till the close. The contract did expire worthless so I got .95 minus commission. Also if anybody wants me to next week I can trade live on twitter so you can be updated by the second to what I'm doing, you'll get to know when I buy or sell within seconds, so If anyone wants me to do that just comment :)
