Trade of the Week (26 May 2023)

Last week's trade resulted in a gain of $88 (0.44%) 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 0.66% 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 $2,600 PUT options and buying 2 $2,550 PUT options, I'm expecting that NQX will close above $2,600 on Friday, 2 June, 2023. If this happens, I will keep the difference between the two options as profit, which is a maximum of $96 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 9% this week.
