My trading feels similar with one big exception, I have one very big event come and wipe out all profits plus some every 3-6 months. For September I was all over various airlines short puts and calls and had my best month trading those ever. Middled out perfectly except in CAL and there I closed the bad side with good timing. BUT I tried to catch the HK/China bottom and did not panic out only to panic on the Thursday before expiration right before a 50% move in the double inverse ETF I was using. Would have expired easily worthless and I took a very ugly hit. UGGHH! And I was right to boot. Sometimes better to panic early. Jon
