08/04 Daily Summary

Today I exited the RUT Iron Condor, I'll review all my trading thus far and re-evaluate what I've been doing, what has been working and what has not been working to decide how I'm going to move forward. The current market condition is affecting these income strategies, so it doesn't make sense to keep beating my capital up trying to trade in unfavorable environment.

Exited the trade Today, not happy with the results. As soon as we busted the 1.5 st. deviation zone, the trade was on the max loss.
