Update

I still have 4.5 Jan NG put that I sold for $2000+. It's virtually worthless, so I'm basically flat.

I know I was not diligent enough to update my open positions, but I'll just cut it from Open Positions area and paste here for my record.

At the end, I made some money, but I was in a huge drawdown. I mean a big. I was close to getting a margin call, so imagine that. I really takes only one bad trade to wipe everything out in this business. Now that I think, I definitely over-traded for my account size.

I'm going to take some time off. As a matter of fact, I just bought a building lot to build a house. Back in March, there was a lot I really liked, it's still available, but had I bought the lot, I would haven gotten a margin call and lost a sizable amount of money.

While I was in a drawdown, I decided that I'm glad that I didn't buy that lot because I didn't need it. It's nice to show off, but I rather have some money in my bank than worrying about hugh utility bills, maintenance, rooms that I don't use etc...

Anyway, I found a better lot with a better view and the community that requires a lot less restrictions not to mention there's no home owners association fees.

I'm not sure what I'll do as far as trading goes. Day trading and / or swing trading with 'STOPS' are likely. Position trades are not my thing.
