2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 36

Last week the market stopped at 3,900 support, reversed, and started going higher again. That was not good for our SPX trading as I was preparing for more selling opening credit call spreads. When the market reversed, I had to reverse the trades too. Last week, I had a “box” trade that was set to Continue reading →

2022 Week 35 investing and trading report

Last week was a disaster to my net-liq, not necessarily trading results as I was able to bring in some cash trading options and dividend income was great too. Bu the open stock and options positions dropped and hurt the value of the portfolio. I think it will be just a temporary drawdown that I Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 35

The sell-off continued last week and that affected performance of our SPX strategy. I did a few trades last week – adjusting one trade by rolling it away using a “box” trade. Then I opened a new credit call spread with an expiration last Friday. The spread expired worthless for a full profit. I also Continue reading →

August 2022 $100 Challenge account review

The stock market is still in crash mode. For almost the entire August we were rallying until its end when we lost half of the gains. And now we are at risk of going lower, which will drag our stocks with it. And that was a reason for not trading this account much. Sometimes, sitting Continue reading →

HFEA August 2022 strategy report

With our HFEA portfolio in 100% of SPXL (a 3x leveraged bullish ETF), the selloff is especially damaging to the portfolio. After recent growth and outperforming the market, the portfolio turned down again – significantly. But I am OK with this development no matter how dramatic and gut-wrenching it may be. It still goes with Continue reading →

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. But this time I had built reserves to avoid losses (thank God!). What happened? Well, have you ever Continue reading →

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 32-33 investing and trading report

The market reached its significant resistance at a 200-day moving average, which impacted our trading last week. We made a few adjustments but mostly stayed away from trading.   I still struggle with buying power. I have plenty of cash but little available to invest:     Last week, I traded a little. I made Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 33

I wasn’t trading SPX much last week. After only a few adjustments, but after that, I was just waiting for the expiration. The trades expired on Thursday (based on Friday’s opening price). I am heading into the next week with existing trades only and do not plan on opening new trades. I might if the Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 32

Last week’s SPX trading was hectic. I didn’t have much time to record my trades, and trying to record them all today was a huge pain. I did a lot of rolling, some unfortunate and unnecessary – they turned into a disaster. But I am slowly getting to my standard trading, and if the market Continue reading →
