On the 26th of June, I placed a long call trade on Schlumberger.  There was a bull flag signal showing and it was a good entry point. I received a debit of 6.10 and sized accordingly. A day later, I exited for a credit of 8.60. That gives me a profit of 2.50 / 6.10 = 41%!

On the 24th of June, I closed my JPM butterfly for a credit of 2.01. That gives me a profit of .22 / 1.79 = 12.3% in a week! These types of trades are quite attractive in this market due to high volatility.

A lot of lessons this month on what type of trades to enter and be in. This was one of them that wasn’t too favorable. I closed the bull call spread on Sprint for a credit of .20. That gives me a loss of -.40 / .60 = -66.6%!

USO +42.8%

As everyone is jumping up and down about oil prices, I am making money! I put on another USO BLPS (June 102/101) on June 10th for a credit of .30. A day later, I sold the option worthless. This gives me a profit of .30 / .70 =  42.8%. The distinction to make is that the fill may be a bit better due to me paper trading, but the idea is that money is being made with this type of stock and strategy.
