How I made $233 in December 2023 trading options
Happy New Year!
Managed to finish the year off on a positive note with a small profit.
Could've been a lot better, but also could've been worse.

Notes and Thoughts #
Market continues to be super bullish.
My only two losses this month came from the only bearish positions I took (ENPH and BILL). The BILL trade was a really bad loss, which I should've closed a couple days earlier for smaller loss. Would've saved me $100-$200 or so.
How much longer will the bull run continue? Not sure, but will keep going with it until it stops.
My New Year's Resolution is to stick to my trading rules. 🤓
