Matt's Trade Log - 9/9/08

Only one trade actually went through today:

• Buy 6 AAPL SEP08 185/190 vertical call spread

I originally entered this spread in two different trades. In one I sold the spread for $1.40, the other I sold for $1.37. I bought this spread back today for $0.05, for a profit of $1.35 on half of it and $1.32 on the other half.

Tried to do some other trades today, but they did not go through when they were initially routed, even though they were routed as limit orders under the current ask at the time. Some SPY trades I particularly wish had gone through, as SPY fell quite a bit today, turning a once-profitable SPY position into a non-profitable one. Hopefully SPY will rally a bit later this week and give me a chance to exit.
