Example of two perfect trades over basically 24 hours. Money on the line. Just over 10K. I've been trading DIG for a few years, It's an ETF(exchange traded fund) based on the US index of gas and oil. Leveraged 2X, very volatile. But pretty cyclical. When does Gasoline and Oil generally peak? Summer right? When does it start declining? Fall right? When is it at it's lowest, Winter usually right? Spring, starts ascending correct? Absent of any peculiar non normal conditions this is fact. Look at the the charts for DIG.

When your trades go perfect and this is not the standard, usually takes longer, this is two of my best trades.
Options I bought Monday morning Buy 10 DIG Sep 20 '19 $31 Call Executed @ $2.85
03/25/19 | 09:58 AM ET Cost=$2864

03/25/19 | 10:00 AM ET COST=$7444

SOLD Tuesday morning Sell 10 DIG Sep 20 '19 $31 Call Executed @ $3.5
03/26/19 | 11:36 AM ET NET=$3485 Gain=$620

SOLD Tuesday Sell 250 DIG Executed @ $31.3077
03/26/19 | 11:37 AM ET NET=$7819 GAIN=$375

One day gain of $995 on an investment of $10308 in DIG ETF shares and options, almost a 10% return in one day.

ALL OPTIONS, STOCKS, ETF trading is MONEY YOU CAN STAND LOSING. IT HAPPENS. I LOST 40K in the 2008 crash because I was on the wrong side of a couple options and failed to put stops in. Barely got out before I owed money trading on margin. I haven't traded on margin much since then.



Anyone else have any trading tips or stock, ETF options they regularly trade, why and what?
