Day traded all day today and it was easy money. Between Amazon, Nvidia, apple and netflix has been fun.

Was an easy day. SPY hit 390 resistance just as the APPL news broke. The last 7-10 days has been really easy. Every time I start getting in this groove I end up having to go out of town for an extended period and I get completely lost. Technical trading about to take a back seat with earnings the next couple weeks headed into the FED.

I closed today so balanced I'm not sure it's possible for me to make any money either way in the overnight but managed to lock in my gains in the morning gap, grab puts and extend gains through the day. I have NFLX stock, sold my calls when SPY hit 390, bought puts held the stock and made a sheet ton on that one trade. BOIL has been blistering hot but finally trimmed down. I had a weird straddle set up on Coinbase. Have cheap longshot puts that expire in December but had $60 calls I grabbed before close on Friday. Those things shot in the money and I sold right as it crossed into the money. Sold early but made over 500%, paid for my puts, calls and some cash left over. Sold my GUSH on the bell, went back to DRIP. Every play I made today was selling peaks and buying troughs. Days like today make me think I could get rich doing this if I ever really brought my A game. Days like today also tend to make me overconfident and I tend to follow it up by losing my arse so took a ton of risk off the table. AAL calls are still my play for the week. After earnings I'm off the air travel bandwagon.
