2022 Week 34 investing and trading report

Last week I avoided trading as I was traveling. I was however forced to do a few trades. Why forced? It is typically bad to be forced to do trades and they usually end up in losses.

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 34

This week’s SPX trading report is easy – I didn’t trade. I didn’t even roll any existing trades but I will do roll next week, or adjust in some way. I was traveling and didn’t have time to watch the account. So I left it alone on autopilot and maybe, it was a good thing Continue reading →

2022 Week 30 investing and trading report

The market kept improving last week. Investors started feeling left behind and started chasing the market. A classic FOMO. However, on Friday, the market retreated. In the morning, it lost over 1% but recovered most of the losses. And the reason? Better than expected job data. Whether the job data were cooked or not, analysts Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 31

Last week, I didn’t trade SPX trades much. I only opened two trades and mostly was sitting on my hands waiting for those trades to expire which will be happening next week and two weeks later.
