Last week's trade will give me a gain of $265 on a $20K account when it expires at the end of the day today. If I had been invested in a NASDAQ ETF, I would have had a gain of about 1.7% at 11AM on Friday. We'll see what happens in the market today, but I'm happy with my 1.3% weekly gain either way.
This week's trade of the week is a Put Credit Spread again. I'll sell a PUT option on NDX with a strike price of $14,650 and an expiration of 29 Oct. At the same time, I'll buy a PUT option on NDX with a strike price of $14,550 and an expiration date of 29 Oct. This trade has a maximum gain of about $295 as long as NDX closes above $14,650 on Friday, 29 Oct 2021. I made this trade in my account that has a cash balance of $20,000. I am only using half of my available cash so that I can fix the trade in the unlikely event that NDX happens to fall by 5% this week.
The trade discussed above is not a recommendation but is merely an account of what I may have executed in the past.
