July 2021 is over and here is our challenge account report. In the month of July, we were still accumulating our funds to be able to trade options. At the beginning of August, we opened our first options trade. It may have been a bit early as the trade went shaky a bit and we soon ran out of the available margin. But we rolled the trade a few times and released the buying power.

Now we have to be prepared for some volatility in our account. As the maintenance margin fluctuates, our net-liq will fluctuate too. I am OK with that.

We will continue accumulating stocks we want to use as our “rental” property and we will also start building a position in those stocks we are trading options against. The goal will be to raise the position to 100 shares as quickly as possible to make our call side of our strangles covered.
 

Accumulation phase

 
The account is progressing well and within the proposed goal. We are now trading small trades (strangles) and we will continue accumulating shares for our next options trade.
