Trade of the Week (25 Nov 2022)

Last week I made a trade for a $218(1.09%) gain 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% at the market close 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 $2,190 and an expiration of 2 December.  At the same time, I'll buy 2 PUT options on NQX with a strike price of $2,140 and an expiration date of 2 December. This trade has a maximum gain of about $210 as long as NQX closes above $2,190 on Friday, 2 December, 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 6.9% this week.

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