Trade of the Week (23 Dec 2022)

Last week I made a trade for a $220(1.10%) gain 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 loss of about 2.6% 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 $2,050 and an expiration of 30 Dec.  At the same time, I'll buy 2 PUT options on NQX with a strike price of $2,000 and an expiration date of 30 Dec. This trade has a maximum gain of about $214 as long as NQX closes above $2,050 on Friday, 30 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 8% this week.

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