Position updates

I haven't updated for a while because I was pretty busy with work and travel. Here's what I'm holding:

3 Sept NG futures long

1 Sept NG 3.5 Put short at 0.2555

1 Sept NG 4.25 Call short at 0.204

1 Sept NG 4.5 Call short at 0.126

I also added some more in lumber when it went down to 190 level. Lumber is very thin, but margin is very very low. 5 Lumber contracts are equal to 1 Emini ES.

To be honest, I pretend to be patient on this long term trade, but I think it's my stubbornness to hold onto these positions. I'm about break-even for the year. I'm looking to get out of everything with some profits. It'd probably go higher as soon as I get out, but I have to rethink if this strategy suits me well.

In the meantime, I've been working with my trading buddy about new trading setups for the past few months. We really like what we see. I think I'm at the place where I can consider quitting my day-job. I plan on opening a new account pretty soon and I'll post results.

On a side, I've been long GG from 36 all 100% with my Roth IRA. It's a tiny account, but the purpose is to hedge. If gold goes up that's great because I'm making money. If gold goes down, dollar should go up, so I'm making money there.
