2022 Week 28 investing and trading report

Last week the stock market eased on the selling pressure, and we were able to increase positions in some of the beaten-down stocks and resume trading and not just adjust the old trades. If this trend continues, I expect even better trading results in the year’s second half. I added more stocks last week, resumed Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 28

Our SPX trading started improving significantly. Our measures of opening box trades delivered enough credits in the past few weeks to offset trades that were deep in trouble. We could roll them down and use the credit to do so. Now, these trades are expiring out of the money, releasing buying power and allowing us Continue reading →

2022 Week 26 investing and trading report

June 2022 is over and the first half of the year with it. It was a horrible half of the year for trading. Even the 2020 slump was better than this. But I look at it positively and keep investing in good quality stocks as much as my buying power allows. I suspended trading risky Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 26

I was aggressively adjusting my SPX trades last week. I was using a “box” trade strategy to generate income and then used that income to roll the trades that were in the money. So far, this is the best way I could come up with to fix bad trades. I hate taking losses so unlike Continue reading →

2022 Week 25 investing and trading report

Last week, our trading was not as successful as the week before. I still was battling with buying power issues and I had to close many trades early. I was closing them for a profit but smaller profit than expected and for debit. That debit lowered our options income by -$2,341.00. However, I could add Continue reading →

Last week’s SPX trading strategy was again mostly about adjusting our old trades than trading new ones. The goal is to let the old trades expire one by one before we resume opening new trades.
