Russell 2000 (RUT) : Follow up on Watching RUT

This is a follow up post on my previous RUT reading.

Following on my RUT reading, I decided to established a Vertical March Call Spread at 630/640

The rationale is that I have already ride on some profits from my Vertical March Put Spread at 570/580

If RUT does goes higher, I will suffer some losses on my CALL Spread. And I will remove it once it reaches a certain level.

But, if RUT fails to goes higher or reverse, I will be able to close off my PUT Spread and let the CALL rides the way down.

Writing this post helps to crystalize my thoughts.

My next step is to :

- Watch how RUT reacts to the rate hike.

- Establish stop levels for my MARCH CALL Spread.

Sinovac Biotech Ltd (SVA) : Trailing Stop Triggered

My trailing stop for SVA was triggered at 6.79 as I move it higher when it spike up above 6.8+

One of my first mistakes when I started trading was not having protective stops in place. That needs to huge losses.

The habit of having a protective stop has saved me a number of times. The downside is there will be times when the stock I am holding went on to greater heights.

Sinovac Biotech Ltd (SVA) : Gap Resistance

Sinovac Biotech (SVA) has rallied over the past few days with the broader market.

We can also see that the Kijun sen (purple line)  is right at 6.78
