My last trade resulted in a gain of $44 (0.2%) on a $20K account when it expired.
The VIX is still 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 $2,800 PUT options and buying 2 $2,760 PUT options, I'm expecting that NQX will close above $2,800 on Friday, 4 Aug, 2023. If this happens, I will keep the difference between the two options as profit, which is a maximum of $80 in this case. This isn't quite back to normal, but better than last week.
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 10% over the next two week.
