TQQQ,
Yesterday, I sold my call option position in the April 19 calls for a 20% loss of my profits but am still up for the year. I am still short all of the put options and expect them to be good trades.

Internet issues delayed me… when I first entered this it was going for 18.00. Very irritating.
This is a touchy day… Market is trending higher, and Powell will testify before Congress starting at 10am. We also have JOLT jobs report coming. Going for 10% only.

Alternative to TOS paper account?
It looks like TOS is canceling paper accounts. It started about a month ago and now even my oldest paper account was closed today. New paper accounts are not available.
Is there a decent alternative to TOS paper account with similar functionality?

That’s lowest premium I’ve seen yet, I guess because IV is low and no economic events today, other than FOMC member Harker speaking at 11am ET.
Earnings 3/4 – 3/8
