+8% but missed so much more

Market opened -1%, but the only gaps down were breakout failures from yesterday. There were several amazing gaps up, but I was so wary bc down market day.

Market opened with volatility and I had 2 big losers to start. UPS finally made my day, and then good trade in QCOM, but I traded them too tight bc market was down and I was skeptical. Anyway, I still made a nice day, this 9Av.

AKAM puts from yesterday still riding. they are .20x.40. Could go to zero, I presume. Still open.
