Trade of the Week (17 March 2023)

Last week, I made a trade for a $224(1.12%) 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 weekly gain of about 5.8% 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 $2,250 and an expiration of 24 March 2023. At the same time, I'll buy 2 PUT options on NQX with a strike price of $2,200 and an expiration date of 24 March. This trade has a maximum gain of about $174 as long as NQX closes above $2,250 on Friday, 24 March, 2023.

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.

Note: This trade is not a recommendation but is merely an account of what I may have executed in the past.
