Wow, what a market...

The market tends to move dramatically these days. Option sellers are not
charging enough for the premiums :-(

March 2007 Review

March 2007 Result: -15.0%

Big market drop on 02/27 generated panic selling in the market.
This has caused significant increase of market volatility.

While IV jump has already increased risks and reduced margin safety
in this trading account, I then made a mistake on 03/01 by taking more
risks. The following market drop on 03/05 eventually triggered margin
meltdown, and forced this account to cut loss and close positions to
reduce margin.

This unnecessary risk-taking has probably caused 10% more loss
for this month. This is a lesson that needs to be learned.

Cut loss, reduce risk...

Market is volatile, it seems previous action of increasing risk
at this market condition is not appropriate...

Shift positions and take a little more risks.

No risk, no gain...
