+5% the hard way

Wrecker of the day was the UAL puts in the open that I tried to get too cute with, way too big, too much room. Put me above my max loss before other open trades redeemed it and let me keep trading. UAL puts later did well, but still net red on UAL today. So glad to be green today, but it was a really sloppy way to get there. Not clockwork.
