Up Day: + $6.70 20%

Pretty good trading today up 20% on the day and 59% since the start. Well I did violate one of my rules today, I traded before 1:30, but I almost paid for it.
It was about 12:20 when I decided to trade, I saw in my analysis the Dow had little chance of closing below -75 points so I bought the DOW.19AUG.-75 @79.5 and the Dow instantly went against my position. So with further analysis I decided to sell the DOW.19AUG.HIGHER @ 10 as a way to insure profit just in case the DOW.19AUG.-75 went against me and the DOW closed below -75 points. About an hour later I made the decision to buy DOW.19AUG.-25 @ 89.5, so at that time I was nearly fully capitalized. Then I bought the DOW.19AUG.-75 at a deep discount I only paid 68 for it giving me a huge profit potential and leaving me FULLY CAPITALIZED only $.15 was left in the account. All went well though the DOW closed way down @ about 130 which allowed me to take profit on all my positions.
I finished the day up $6.7 after commissions which is 20% for the day and 59% for 5 days of work :)
