Trade of the Week (19 May 2023)

Last week's trade resulted in a gain of $114 (0.57%) on a $20K account when it expired at the end of the day. On the other hand, if invested in a NASDAQ ETF, there would have been a 3.5% gain at the close of trading on Friday.

This week's trade of the week is a Put Credit Spread, a type of options trading strategy that aims to take advantage of market volatility. By selling 2 $2,570 PUT options and buying 2 $2,520 PUT options, I'm expecting that NQX will close above $2,570 on Friday, 26 May, 2023. If this happens, I will keep the difference between the two options as profit, which is a maximum of $88 in this case.

This trade was made in an account with a cash balance of $20,000 while risking only half the available cash. There is a buffer for potentially fixing the trade or taking action if NQX falls 8% this week.
