As we discussed in our Live Review Session this morning, QQQ was down and the decision to manage is whether to close it now or roll the puts/calls. Given the market sentiment, better to close it today with a small loss and either re-set or take a pause on the QQQ.

The 50K Portfolio was trading 3 contracts; the 10K Portfolio 1 contract.

 

Depending on your fill prices on entry and exit, we should end up with a 0.65 to 0.75 debit loss or -$200 to -$250 for 3 contracts.

 

We’ve traded QQQ for steady profits in Small Account Trader PRO this year even as the NASDAQ stocks sold off. However, our last two QQQ trades were losses. Chris and I will review our QQQ trading record and discuss in tomorrow’s live trading session (10:30 AM Eastern) whether to run a new QQQ trade or take a break for now.
