Trade of the Week (28 Oct 2022)

Last week's trade will give me a gain of $202 (1.01%) on a $20K account when it expires at the end of the day. If I had been invested in a NASDAQ ETF, I would have had a gain of about 2.1% for the week.

This week's trade of the week is a Put Credit Spread again.  I'll sell 2 PUT options on NQX with a strike price of $2,080 and an expiration of 4 Nov 2022.  At the same time, I'll buy 2 PUT options on NQX with a strike price of $2,030 and an expiration date of 4 Nov. This trade has a maximum gain of about $240 as long as NQX closes above $2,080 on Friday, 4 Nov 2022. 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 NQX happens to fall by 10% this week.

The trade discussed above is not a recommendation but is merely an account of what I may have executed in the past.
