Trade of the Week (7 Oct 2022)


Last week's trade gave me a gain of $200 (1.00%) on a $20K account when it expired at the end of the day Friday. If I had been invested in a NASDAQ ETF, I would have had a gain of about 0.6% at the end of the day on Friday.

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 $2,010 and an expiration of 14 October 2022. At the same time, I'll buy 2 PUT options on NQX with a strike price of $1,960 and an expiration date of 14 October. This trade has a maximum gain of about $212 as long as NQX closes above $2,010 on Friday, 14 October. 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 9% this week.

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