Scraping by - Weekly summary (Nov 17 - Nov 21)

Squeaked out a win last week.

This month hasn't been very pretty.

Market has been really up and down; all over the place.

Here's the trades from the past week:

Opened: #

Ticker Type Entry Date Expiry Date Sell Strike Buy Strike Premium Open Qty Fee open Net Premium
PG BPS 2025-11-18 2025-02-20 130 120 0.9 1 1.2 88.8
SPY BPS 2025-11-19 2025-12-19 662 656 2.02 1 1.4 200.6

Been very busy, so not much manual trading recently. Long term trend play on PG; the SPY trade was rolling out the short wing on broken wing butterfly.

The huge drop helped close a bunch of "Trade Idea" positions. Strategy only makes money when market turns bearish. I think I will kill it at the end of this year, or turn it into a strictly hedging strategy.

Notes, Lessons and Thoughts #

Ended up being a solid week after everything.

Definitely did not feel like it though.

Last couple of months have been a real struggle.

Market has been yo-yo-ing like crazy, which also doesn't help.
