2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 49

Last week’s SPX trading was frustrating. I took a few bearish trades as the signals were mixed to the bearish outcome. Toward the end of the week, the signals turned bullish, so I opened a bullish trade. But the market was so volatile that the outcome changed quickly and crashed within a few minutes before Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 48

Last week I dedicated myself to opening a few debit trades (that will have an impact on our profit as it is shown as expense/loss now, and it will be marked up as a gain or loss when we close the trade) and also fixing some of the old trades to make sure they expire Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 47

We have many open SPX trades that, earlier this year, went in a bad direction. These trades are now in the money. I adopted box trades to help fix these trades. A box trade is a strategy that can be used in many ways. It can be used as a bond (when you buy a Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 46

Last week was hectic trading. The markets were flat overall, but intraday, they were choppy and unpredictable. Trading SPX was difficult. We didn’t open any new trades; rather, we managed the old ones to let them expire worthless. That cost some money as many of these trades are debit trades. But in the past, we Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 45

I skipped the report while traveling a week ago (week 44). Last week, I traded little, only adjusting a few SPX trades that needed our attention. Our goal is to be able to let those trades expire OTM. Other trades offset all rolls we did, yet we ended negative last week.   Our trades delivered Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 43

Last week I traded a few SPX trades only. Most of them finished as winners, but the last one had to be rolled as the market jumped up too much. I didn’t expect that. Now I will not be opening any new trades until this one is gone, plus I will be repairing the old Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 42

Last week we opened only two SPX trades and one adjustment. All trades finished for a nice profit. If the market continues higher for the year-end, we may have more successful trades.   Our trades delivered a $367.00 gain. Our account weekly trading is up by 0.99% while SPX gained 4.74%.   Our SPX account Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 41

We traded only two SPX trades last week and one SPY butterfly adjustment. That trade may end busted. Maybe, next week I will try to adjust that trade again to squeeze some credit from it, but as of today, the trade might be just a bust. I wanted to adjust that trade to a credit Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 40

Last week SPX trading started well… and then it all puked again. This is definitely a very difficult time to trade. You can get whipsawed quickly or you adopt a strategy where you maintain the trades and adjust them to stay afloat and eventually a winner in the end. Some traders open a trade, usually Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 38-39

I didn’t have much time to report a trading a week ago as I was traveling. Fortunately, I could manage the trades. When preparing today’s report on our SPX trading, I was surprised to see that I had made money. We delivered enough credit to eventually offset other trades. We will be working on that Continue reading →
