REASON FOR TRADE #1: I noticed we were in an uptrend so I thought I could buy the bounce at the bottom of the trend line and take a scalp and make a little profit of about 0.60-0.80 points. I was wrong and the trade started to breakout of the trend line which then I then thought we were about to start a breakout which then I took my second trade and bought puts. 

START $: $530

END $: $510

REASON FOR TRADE #2: Once I noticed we were in a down-trend, I thought I could buy puts and catch a decent profit because it looked like, looking at the whole chart, we formed a head and shoulders pattern. It was going well for a few minutes unitl, looking back on the trade, we retested vwap, and also looking at the enitre chart a cup and handle was forming, and we reversed up and as soon as we broke the high a day I stopped out of the trade. I definitely shouldn't have taken this trade. I should have noticed a cup and handle was forming, as well as the jump through vwap which we then retested vwap, and when we retested vwap and bounced right off of it is when I should have taken my trade. 

START $: $510
