Our SPX trading is improving, and we are slowly returning to regular trading. Yet I am still cautious, keep it slow, and keep my strikes as far away from the market as possible. The market reached previous strong support, now resistance, and after the strong rally we saw last week, we may have a strong Continue reading →

Last week, the SPX trading improved again. We traded a little last week. We opened new credit spreads and adjusted some older trades only.   Our trading delivered $1,020.00 gain. That brought our account down by 3.79% while SPX gained 2.55%.   Overall, the SPX account is up +675.05% since the beginning of this program, Continue reading →
