Butchered this today. Broke all my rules.
1. Gap up to all time highs at the open and didn’t wait for a pullback.
2. Sold next day daily puts without closing today’s.
3. Sold at highs and bought at lows.
4. At least I was more patient with SPX. Made up for it there.
Basically back to square one now with the overall position.

At midnight PDT the futures started their drop for the beginning of the historically worst month for the stock market. I’m staying away from the selling, taking a cheap shot for a further downside move after the open.
I just finished reading a new book “The QQQ and TQQQ ETF Profit Machine by Leslie Masonson. It is a bit expensive but I liked it.
