March 2023 $100 Challenge account review

We didn’t trade much during this turmoil of the banking crisis, recession fear, and end-of-the-world imminency. Rather we preserved the cash. Remember, our account is still small and we cannot take risky trades (we did two times and it backfired, but we have time on our side). Also during the recent sharp market selloff (chart Continue reading →

March 2023 SPX put credit spreads trading review

February and March SPX trading improved well. We were actively trading our SPX strategy which delivered a $3,971.00 gain. Many of our trades got slammed in 2022 and instead of closing these trades for pretty large losses, I decided to use a rather unorthodox strategy. Many people will probably disagree with me and despise it Continue reading →

March 2023 Investing and Trading Report

March is over. And our Investing and Trading are beginning to see improvement again after the bear market of 2022. People still do not believe that the bear is over and keep creeping all over social media how much we are going to crash soon, TV shows pull out from their asses doomers like Roubini Continue reading →

February 2023 Investing and Trading Report

Our February investing and trading were successful. We made decent options income selling premiums, we received record monthly dividends, and we purchased more dividend-paying stocks. Our account is growing and it was growing even during the recent pullback. Our NetLiq-cash-buying power ratio improved with the market, but it is still vulnerable to market declines. I Continue reading →

Gaining Mental Trust For Your Trading

I hear from time to time that when beginners start dealing with trading, e.g. with options trading, they ask themselves at the beginning of their journey whether the whole concept of trading works at all. Because what they lack at the beginning is mental trust, which is absolutely necessary to achieve permanent positive results in Continue reading →

January 2023 $100 Challenge account review

We were selling spreads successfully last month, but we entered a TSLA call spread right before investors started chasing the stock up again. We are now rolling the trade higher, and hopefully, we will be able to get out of the trade. I think a 70%+ run-up is not justified, and we may see a Continue reading →

January 2023 SPX put credit spreads trading review

The last trading month was rolling trades and adjusting the old ones only. We were not opening any new trades at this point. We had many trades that we rolled, and we do not want to add more risk until the old trades are fixed. We use “box” spreads to collect credit and use that Continue reading →

January 2023 Investing and Trading Report

I decided to post my monthly investing and trading reports instead of weekly ones. It is too much time-consuming writing about my investments every week, mainly when I also write a newsletter and do research for it. That takes a lot of time. January 2023 was a good month when our portfolio recovered many 2022 Continue reading →

2023 Week 01 investing and trading report

The first week of 2023 is over, and the markets started looking promising again. The same could be said about my trading and investing, except that Tasty Works broker sucks at calculating and displaying a correct buying power, so I have no idea whether I had money or not to trade. They have a problem Continue reading →

2022 Week 51 investing and trading report

Last week we bought back a few shares I sold to release my buying power, such as Netflix, ABNB, and Google. But when the market tanked again, I had to sell Google again. However, I plan on buying these shares back. I also traded credit call spreads that delivered gains. I will reinvest these gains Continue reading →
