April SPY Trade

Decided to pull the trigger on a Bull Put spread for SPY. I think the 115 is a good support level and if it breaks 115 then I will look at closing the spread and buying puts as I think we will have a significant drop if we break 115. I placed the following trade:

April 2010 SPY 114/113 Bull Put spread for a ROI of 13%

April Trade

I placed my first April trade today. I feel that GLD is in a downward trend at the moment and I think the upper resistance of the 110 level will hold for the next month. I have opened the following credit spread:

April 2010 111/110 GLD Bear Call Spread for a ROI of 17%


Not quite sure what to do with SPY for this month yet, so I have held off on making a trade. I want to see what happens this week.

Both of my March 2010 trades expired successfully.

The SPY trade was a ROI of +12% for $630.

The GLD trade was a ROI of +15% for $960.

For the month I was up $1,588 which means my account finished up 11.3% for the month.

This puts my account at $15,627.
