TQQQ long.
I've been trading TQQQ and SQQQ back and forth on short (one and two day holding periods). It's been pretty wild. I'll make $20,000 one day and lose $25,000 the next! Then make $15,000 the day after.
So, where am I after all is said and done? Even.
Where would I be if I hadn't been trading? Down. I would have been down about 6% if I had not been trading, and my account is about the same dollar balance now as it was when I starting going long, short, long, short, etc. So, for the past month, my trading has beaten buy and hold.
(I will be honest... I try to follow my trading system. But I'm human. Sometimes I decide not to make a trade based upon some outside factor. Sometimes my overrides work out, sometimes they don't. When Apple announced the split, I was short, and the overnights went crazy. I panicked, and went long at the open. It didn't work out well. And the next day, the market tanked. That panic trade cost me $25,000.)
But, I'm starting this week long. TQQQ.

Hopefully I am through with medical tests for a while. They have not made any diagnosis at this time but are concerned I may have lymphoma. Of course it is my hope that it is something less serious that can be easily fixed.
I have been fatigued and have lost track of time. I am still trying to work in the mornings then go in for tests as they are scheduled. I am much slower and less efficient at completing simple tasks. I don't know if the fatigue is due to failing health or such a hectic schedule that I forget what day it is.
I appreciate all the well wishes they really help to strengthen my resolve. I am a devout Christian and it is my prayer they will diagnose and cure the problem but I also pray that I will have strength to deal with any problems that come my way. If you are the praying sort I would appreciate a short prayer for me but words of support are good too.
