Strat play 4/2 25p Setup: 2-1-2 bearish reversal Theoretical loss: 0.73->0.54 No one playing options. Low liquidity -- removing from watchlist.
Strat play 4/2 57p Setup: 1-2-2 bearish revstrat Theoretical gain: 1.13->1.74 Wide spreads at open + market chop, didn't enter.
Strat play 4/1 24p Setup: 2-1-2 bearish reversal Theoretical gain: 1.05 -> 1.35 Would've been good for a stock swing. Choppy market + I went to bed after seeing the large indices stuck in yesterday's range.
Strat play 3/25 75p Setup: 2-1-2 bullish continuation Actual gain: 0.62 -> 1.00 Theoretical gain: 0.62 -> 1.30 I got in this one and moved my SL to breakeven once the candle closed slightly profitable for my position. Ended up hitting 1st target but I sold for a quick profit once my 5m candle broke above (that one turned 3 and continued down)
Strat play 3/25 110p Setup: 2-2 bearish reversal Actual gain: 1.14 -> 1.36 Theoretical gain: 1.14 -> 1.45 Entered, hit first target, exited on the reversal
Strat play 3/25 85p Setup: 3-1-1-2 double inside day Actual gain: 0.39->0.33 Theoretical gain: 0.39->0.40 I got in this one and moved my mental SL to the high of the most recent candle. It broke really quickly and I had some slippage on the way out. Overall, flat day for SBUX and holding would've netted breakeven. No targets hit, no stop loss hit.
Strat play 3/25 120c Setup: 2-1-2 bullish continuation Actual gain: 1.43 -> 1.44 Theoretical gain: 1.43 -> 1.93 I got in this one and moved my SL to breakeven once the candle closed slightly profitable for my position. Next 5m candle reversed down and took it out. Didn't enter on re-trigger but that one would've been quite profitable.
Strat play 3/25 305c Setup: 2-1-2 bullish continuation Theoretical gain: 1.30 -> 1.80 first time 1.50 -> 3.10 second time I wasn't able to get this one and I didn't enter on the re-trigger. It's hard to enter when it's the first few seconds of the morning.

Strat play 3/18 31c Setup: 2-1-2 bullish Actual gain: Did not play, couldn't get in Theoretical gain: 0.62 -> 1.12 Fed FOMC today, get out before 11EST. Real gain much higher than 1.12 but that was at target level.
Strat play 3/18 80c Setup: 3-1-2 bullish Actual gain: 0.76 -> 1.06 Theoretical gain: 0.76 -> 1.27 Broke twice, first time entering gained about 40% at one percentage point. No targets hit but it felt like a good level to secure profit as it headed back down since the gap to first target was 1.6%. Second time triggering I missed it, went from 0.86 -> 2.27 (HoD)...
Strat play 3/18 100p Setup: 2-1-2 bearish Gain: ~15% Didn't play this one. But it gapped below, went into range, then triggered. If played correctly would've netted a 15% gain.
Strat play 3/18 15.50p Setup: 2-2 bearish Loss: 0.30 -> 0.24 Broke through daily trigger. I lost money because I didn't set conditional orders and gave up early while watching LCID lose. If I had played it correctly, it would have been 15% gain + 73% on the re-entry using the lines of equivalence.
Strat play 3/18 21p Setup: 2-1-2 weekly bearish Loss: 0.74 -> 0.55 Broke through weekly trigger. I lost money because I didn't set conditional orders and had technical issues with account setup.

Strat play 3/18 79c Setup: 2-1-2 bullish Loss: 1.20 -> 0.74 First time breaking trigger within the first few seconds of the day, options spreads were very wide so I didn't get in. Failed a few mins later hitting SL of 76.29 FTFC. Gain: 0.74 -> 1.79 Second run up broke through on more liquid options spreads, I also didn't get in (I missed it).
