Well, I've been extraordinarily busy lately, but I have been doing some trading and doing "OK". Nothing really sweet until today. I took out July 300 calls last night on CME. Sold them this AM for a 3X gain. Sounds great, and it was. Except I forgot to do something and it's a valuable lesson: Had I placed a .50 trailing stop on my option, I would have wound UP 10X my initial investment!! Just a little reminder for everyone that pulling the trigger on a win is good, but trying to ride it for more is BETTER! Dang. Even when you win, you can't win them all.
