2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 12

My last week’s SPX trading was slow. I was traveling and mostly managing the trades only. I opened only a few new trades but watched old trades expire or closed for target profit.

Last week,the SPX PCS strategy finished up by +2.41% while SPX was up +1.79%. Our overall SPX account is up +95.05% since the beginning of this program. However, we still have -$3,520 in unrealized losses. At some point we will have to work hard to offset those losses.
 

Initial trade set ups

 

For my SPX strategy, I dedicated a $3,600 initial amount that will be used to trade SPX PCS strategy per week. If this amount is depleted, I will evaluate the strategy to determine whether to continue or change it. If I grow this amount, I will scale up the trading.
 

WHAT WILL WE TRADE?    
DAY DTE TYPE
MONDAY 7 DTE Put Credit Spread
TUESDAY 30 DTE Put Credit Spread
WEDNESDAY 7 DTE Put Credit Spread
FRIDAY 60 DTE Put Credit Spread

Last week trading

 

Overall, the strategy resulted in a $165.00 gain last week. Note that the gain might be unrealized as some or all trades may be still open.

Last week beginning value: $6,856.95

Unrealized Gain: -$3,520 (-20.77%)
Realized Gain: $6,827 (+40.29%)
Total Gain: $3,307 (+19.52%)

Our SPX net-liq dropped last week. If the market is back to normal (hope) then I expect this to be a temporary loss and the account will grow again.

However, comparing the account with SPX net-liq, we are still outperforming this horrible market.

It is evident that the stock market has resumed its recovery and it will be going higher from now on no matter what the bears wish for. It can be a bit choppy ride but it will be a ride up until we hit a wall again. But if so, that wall will only be a temporary break from the rally, little rest shaking out weak hands, and rally continuation afterward. I expect this strategy to perform great in this upcoming market.
