Trade Rationale

QQQ is very hard to fill. As you can see below I had been trying for a $310-$315 spread since 2/23 and although QQQ had flirted with $310 levels, I never got filled. Finally, when it dropped down to $307 is when I got filled for a $310-$315 spread. I can only attribute it to a spike in IV. QQQ has very solid support at $310, but it did get pulled back all the way $296 before bouncing back up slightly. I am guessing some of our members were lucky to get $300-$305 spreads too.

Trade Analysis

QQQ went all the way down to a little below $300 before recovering from the brutal correction we experienced last month. During these times, you just need to stick to your plan even though it may feel like every trade you put on becomes a loser instantly. QQQ played out beautifully yielding us our 94% profit target.
