This week, so far, I only made one big trade with a gain of >25%.
Since my options trading account has been grown tremendously this year, I tend to trade big these days, but only with reliable setups with a winning rate of >80%, while my preference is >90%. Speaking of which, I plan not to make any trade until market settling down from FOMC & BOJ events first, as well as avoiding expensive premiums these days.
The puts had become incredibly expensive in the past few days, even comparing with calls. A normally >50% gain setup came out to be just 30% or even 20%, not so good. hopefully after tomorrow's fed moment, all will become normal again.

I bought the same PUT yesterday (Tuesday) but waited to sell just below 1.70 at 1PM.
My swing signals got triggered on the downside upon the black bar by 10am; however, I didn't buy puts because of expensive premiums and not much rooms on the downside since I expected market trading sideways prior to FOMC & BOJ decision.
Bought some sizable calls on 3rd leg up (with confirmation from swing signals) after FOMC announcement and sold one minute before I create this post with a gain of >70%. Will show my trading record tomorrow when it's available
