March 13 bought 1 QID July18 59 call at 2.84.
This adds to my hedges for a market correction , I also have VXX and SPXU but I've had them for a while. The SPY is at an old top which could be the end of this bear pullback . I'll be watching carefully looking to take off hedges in case the bulls take control again.

March 5 bought SO at 42.40
This trade is based on the visual
pivot at around 41.70 and anticipation of breaking out of the bull flag. There was a stochastic buy signal on March 4. I will close it out if it closes below the pivot of 41.70, so far it's hanging on. The target on this one is a 50% fib at 44.40, perhaps ambitious but if it can break out of the flag and cross above the 200s (also in the flag).
March 14 sold SO at 43.35
Result +0.95

March 10 sold short 100 TWC at 139.67.
This trade is based on corporate actions, basically in spite of the takeover offer the stock has floundered, if a stock can't move up with an offer on the table then something stinks - short it. I have a call option for protection in case there is some positive news.
Bought at 137.90 after hitting support and bouncing off it strongly enough to turn the trend around.
Result +1.75

The markets did bounce off off old tops - new support at SPY 184.50 as expected. I sold SPXU but still have the QID call option and VXX.
March 7 Bought SPXU at 55.75 , sold March 13 at 58.65 , result +0.90.

March 17 bought LULU @ 47.51
Based on oversold stochastics and candlestick breaking above 3/13 high and 3/14 close. It's oversold on the weekly and looks to fill a price gap up to $58, although I have a short-term target of 50.50 looking at a 4-hour chart you can see that pivot there.

March 11 bought DGX at 54.36
I got in here on the
bullish break out of the flag and above the 50ma. It was looking good until the market dived and took it down.
Sold @ 55.55 , result +1.19.
Worth watching for a pullback to $55 to go long again.

March 3 bought BRCM at 29.81.
Nice
pullback down into 200 MAs and oversold stochastics. Looking for 31.20 to take half off based on a repeat of the
gap fill . Will take off the second half at 33.20 where further price gap fill will happen.
Sold at 31.05 , result +1.24
