 Hi readers! This is just another routine update on my blog position. Here is the update for today:


For both of my positions, I have not made any adjustments, but they are profiting fine. My AMD position is profiting very nicely, and is profiting even more everyday. This is due to my AMD position having 20 short options and only 12 long options. So, the theta gain from the short options overcompensates for the theta decay from the long options. For my QQQ position, it is profiting about $6000, which is nice, but it was profiting at about 11,000 dollars a couple of days ago. So, since that means the stock is probably slowly going up, I might tighten the position by selling the calls and buying calls with a strike price that is closer to the actual stock price right now, so when the stock goes up, the calls will be actually making money when the puts are losing profits. Here is my current position:



That is it for today's update, readers! Thank you for reading today's post! See you in the next update!

Hi Readers! In this Trade Talk post, I will be talking about what changes, such as new positions and adjustments, have happened in the past week in my options trading portfolio. Here is the update: Monday (2/12/2024):  On Monday, the first thing I did was close out of the AMD position, which was in profit by a couple hundred dollars! I also opened two new positions, a long ATM straddle on SPY @ $500 strike price and a long calendar/time call spread on QQQ @ $435 strike price. The SPY straddle was in the March 01 expiration cycle, and the QQQ time spread was in the March 01 and February 23 expiration cycles. Wednesday (2/14/2024): On Wednesday, I made a lot of adjustments on the QQQ and SPY positions. First, since QQQ had dipped, the short calls were way out of the money and in profit and the long calls were not profiting. So, to tighten the spread, I closed out of the long $435 calls and bought the $432 calls. In case QQQ made a huge move upwards, then I could make a little extra profi

  Hi readers! This is currently my portfolio. Currently, I am learning how to trade options, and I am using an online trading simulator for options and stocks, called TradeStation. As shown in the picture, I have a call ratio spread on for SPDR, and a put ratio spread on for QQQ. Both of these spreads are set to expire on July 28th. As of right now, both spreads are Out of the Money (OTM). Both spreads are losing money right now. I am surprised, as one week after I made these spreads, both spreads were in the money and profiting. Right now, I have to do something to increase my deltas for both spreads, as both stocks went up. I am thinking of buying some call options to increase my deltas. I can also purchase short puts instead. Also, currently my portfolio has $2,030,512 in cash.  In the next post, I will be talking about that spread. Thanks!
