Weekly Trade Summary: March 18 - March 24

I'm still behind in providing my trade updates, due to family activities and my travel schedule. Slowly catching up, but on vacation for several days starting tomorrow.

This week the SPX went down all week from the prior week's close. The larger moves occurred on Thursday and Friday. Here's a shot of this week's SPX movement.
