2022 Week 25 investing and trading report

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 25

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 22-23

My family and I went on a vacation a week ago, so I skipped the SPX report a week ago. This report will be a combination of both weeks. Surprisingly, the trading week ago and last week were not as bad as I thought they would be. We managed to roll the trades, and in Continue reading →

HFEA May 2022 strategy report

The HFEA strategy continued underperforming significantly in May 2022. Our SPXL is down by -34.52% (thanks to options, the loss is only -30.63%), but the biggest surprise was a substantial loss on TMF holding that was supposed to protect our SPXL drawdown. It didn’t. The TMF is down by a stunning -57.92% (and since we Continue reading →

May 2022 $100 Challenge account review

The market is not good for our Challenge account so far. We started aggressively and had to scale down significantly when the valuation reset hit Wall Street. We are significantly down now, but setbacks are part of any trading & investing. This is a long-term investing and trading program, and we are determined to invest Continue reading →
