2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 13

Last week,the SPX PCS strategy finished up by +8.05% while SPX was up +0.06%. Our overall SPX account is up +110.75% since the beginning of this program. However, we still have -$2,425.00 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.

Last week trading

 

Overall, the strategy resulted in a $565.00 gain last week. Note that the gain might be unrealized as some or all trades may be still open. We also have quite a few credit call spreads that will give us some hard time in the near future as the market will go higher and we will have to roll them but overall, I expect good returns.

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.
