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 →

Last week in the markets was calm and that was very positive for our SPX trading. We rolled one trade into a new box and rolled other trades to make them better positioned for expiration this upcoming week. Adding a new box brought in significant credit which we can use to offset trades that are Continue reading →

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 →

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. It will be a difficult task as many of our previous trades got deep in the money and need time Continue reading →

Trading SPX strategy is challenging this year and very frustrating. I am not opening any new trades but managing the old ones as I got caught with those trades rapidly getting under the water.

I expected 2022 year to be slow and not as profitable trading as 2021 but what is happening this year is outstanding. Nevertheless, our SPX trading is doing well so far although it is very difficult trading. I am adjusting trades to get busted again. This is one of the reasons why as an investor Continue reading →

This selling is becoming frustrating. Our SPX trading strategy held relatively well, mostly because I didn’t trade much. All I did was sit tight and manage trades that needed adjustment. I only opened Friday trade and used the collected credit to help offset another trade that needed adjustment. Next week, I will be doing the Continue reading →

For 18 weeks ur SPX PCS strategy performed well while the market was selling off. It was not an easy journey this year. When I started this strategy at the end of 2021 I hoped for a better start and large profits. The market had a different opinion. Despite heavy selling, we finished up by Continue reading →
