Trading Blog

Live trading Series

This trading blog will be the real deal journal documenting each and every trade I make. Whether going long the shares or shorting a call spread you’ll get my rationale and decision making as it happens. You’ll get to see my mistakes or successes on each trade. In the future I will attempt to provide this blog in video format each day but for now work doesn’t afford the time off during market hours to prepare and post.

In any case, I hope you enjoy. They are meant to highlight many of the steps required to become a proficient options trader or trader in general.

HOWEVER, do not mistake these blog posts as recommendations for you to ever buy or sell a security. I DO NOT suggest you follow my trades. You must perform your own due diligence or consult a registered advisor prior to taking any investments. The information provided here is for educational enjoyment and my own transparent record keeping procedures.

As the title suggests, options strategies are infinitely easier with volatility reaching these extreme levels. That doesn’t mean we should throw caution to the wind and trade every strategy known to man. It does however offer an opportunity to make some quick cash and in this market that could be much needed.

Market Correction or Full on Recession?

March 11, 2020March 11, 2020 by OptionBoxer

So it’s been a while since my last post and for that please accept my apologies. However, in that post I’d expressed my need to move on from needless speculation and focus more on long term investments.

Wait, NOW?
