April 2022 $100 Challenge account review

In April we didn’t trade much as we are building equity in the account after we had to close our positions at a loss. It is a part of the game that we will time to time take a loss. But we have time on our side and we will take leveraged positions to grow Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 17

Our SPX PCS strategy finished up by 1.71% while SPX lost -3.27%. Last week was a horrible week. As pundits and media say, it was the worst week since 2008. There seems to be no end to selling pressure. Our account performed well but I do not feel happy about it because it was very Continue reading →

2022 Week 16 investing and trading report

Once again I was surprised with our options trading results this week. I expected a positive return but only around $1,000 dollars. So receiving $3,108 in options premiums was a nice surprise that offset the horrible account balance results. Our net-liq dropped significantly again and we pretty much erased all last year’s gains. But the Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 16

Our SPX PCS strategy finished up by 24.27% while SPX lost -2.75%. Last week was a horrible week. The market lost over 5% in two days based on fear of the FED raising rates “too aggressively”. But our account was up significantly. But there is nothing much to celebrate. All I was doing was adjusting Continue reading →

2022 Week 15 investing and trading report

I expected my options trading last week to be a disaster, so I was quite surprised that I could achieve positive returns and brought in over $600 in premiums. Of course, compared to premiums received in the previous months or during 2021, this is a mediocre result (and it is an overstatement). But given the Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 15

Last week,the SPX PCS strategy finished down by -0.50% while SPX lost -2.13%. It was because we didn’t trade much. Our strategy is directional and we trade to the upside. When the market is bad, we stay away. From time to time, we take a bearish position (credit call spread) but in this market, it Continue reading →

2022 Week 14 investing and trading report

Our options trading was slow last week. We just adjusted our trades to keep them safe. Many of these trades were debit trades offsetting the credit ones. However, I was aggressively buying dividend and growth stocks and I feel really good about it as I think I bought at a good value. Our net-liq dropped Continue reading →

2022 SPX put credit spreads trading review – week 14

Last week,the SPX PCS strategy finished up by +5.87% while SPX lost -1.27%. Our overall SPX account is up +123.11% since the beginning of this program. However, we still have -$3,035 in unrealized losses. At some point we will have to work hard to offset those losses. We are also slightly adjusting our trading strategy Continue reading →

March 2022 $100 Challenge account review

In March we didn’t trade much as we are building equity in the account after we had to close our positions at a loss. It is a part of the game that we will time to time take a loss. But we have time on our side and we will take leveraged positions to grow Continue reading →

2022 Week 13 investing and trading report

Our trading performed well last week as our account grew again and our options trading recovered some of the previous losses. Yet we finished March 2022 down as far as options income goes (we were rolling some trades for debit and closing some trades last month to reduce risk. We are slowly returning to add Continue reading →
