The Bull Is Still Running 8-6-21

 The Bull is tirelessly running. Every dip met with buyers this week. The NFP today was much better than anticipated, 943K vs 870K estimated. SPX inched up 0.2%, booked another ATH of 4436. RUT is back above 20 SMA, closed in the upper range of the current balance area. DOW also made an ATH while NQ was down a half percent. The divergence is noted. We may see a pullback next week if the seasonality is any indication. 

My IB netliq is up to 143K including the transfer of 5K to ET. It's up 7K from last week. The leverage is at 290. The premium collection is 2.1K. The realized profit for the week is $1.6K, excluding the other period's rolling. All of the indices positions were expired worthless. The personal accounts booked 1.08K profit. These small accounts are mainly trading 0 DTEs.

I traded directional options in AAPL, NVDA, and TSLA this week. Luckily they all returned 50%-148%. That is about $200 more than last week's ER loss. ST had some small plays this week. The best one is the TSLA long call spread which I didn't catch. I played a different strick. 

I followed the rule of -1+1 well this week. My current positive delta strategy has been working. Whenever I feel so good and confident about my results it's time to be cautious. Watch out for my risk control and set stops. The drawdown will come. I need to reduce one more SPX SC soon.
