September – October 2023 SPX put credit spreads trading review

I was busy with many things last two months to report our SPX trading and today I am going to report both months I missed – our SPX trading in September and October 2023.

August 2023 $100 Challenge account review

August was a horrible month for our Challenge account. We lost a significant net-liq value due to the correction. One part of the losing strike this month was due to REIT stocks which we are accumulating in our portfolio, namely MPW, and these stocks were hammered this year (not just the MPW but almost all Continue reading →

August 2023 SPX put credit spreads trading review

August 2023 SPX trading was slow. Since I trade mostly bullish trades, during bear markets or corrections I sit aside and wait.

August 2023 HFEA strategy report

August was a muted month for our leveraged strategy. However, despite a significant decline in the markets and our overall account, HFEA held well. We only lost -$158 (-1.05%) compared to the SPX market which lost 1.25%. Initially, I dedicated $15,000 to this strategy. That represented approx. 15% of our portfolio.

I expected it to be difficult because the markets rallied too fast and too hard in the previous few months. And if you are subscribed to our newsletter, I wrote in it that I wanted a deeper pullback.

June – July 2023 $100 Challenge account review

Our Challenge account started performing well again. We started the account at the end of the extremely strong bull market in 2021 and then had to ride it through the entire 2022 bear market. That was challenging. We had to close some trades for a loss and pretty much stop trading. We however kept buying Continue reading →

We are finally able to eliminate trades that got stuck thanks to the bear market of 2022. And on top of Continue reading →

Since April our HFEA strategy finally picked up as the markets started rallying and our core SPXL position rallied over 20%. We keep holding our position and keep selling covered calls and put spreads. If the market keeps moving higher, SPXL will follow strongly up. Initially, I dedicated $15,000 to this strategy. That represented approx Continue reading →

I can’t believe that another month is behind us again. It was again a successful month to our investing and trading. We added income from options trading of $3,116.00 but we also added new shares to our portfolio and started consolidating it (finally, we started creating cash reserves which were depleted during 2022 bear market).
