Last week's trade resulted in a gain of $96 (0.48%) 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 1.7% gain at the close of trading on Friday.
The VIX is really low this week, so I'm not finding a 1-week trade that I like. For this week's trade of the week, I had to do a 2-week out Put Credit Spread, a type of options trading strategy that aims to take advantage of market volatility. By selling 2 $2,650 PUT options and buying 2 $2,600 PUT options, I'm expecting that NQX will close above $2,650 on Friday, 16 June, 2023. If this happens, I will keep the difference between the two options as profit, which is a maximum of $206 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% over the next 2 weeks.
