Day 17, $20,454

Markets had a nice move up following a few days of selling off. Although my trades were never broken during the week, it was hard seeing the value in my account fluctuate so much to the downside. This should be a reminder to always have clearly defined primary and secondary exit points so that fear does not force you into making bad decisions. There were times when I considered to add positions to the IBM iron condor, but the stock never closed below my designated resistance level of 115. The sideways trend continues. No change to current positions. Two more weeks to go until expiration.
