SPX 1 DTE Close

#spx1dte
$SPX BTC 12/30 @ .30. STO this morning @ $2.00.

SPX 1-dte

#SPX1dte Bought to close $SPX Dec 30th 3780/3760 put spreads for .30. Condors sold yesterday for 1.15. Stop touched barely right after open, but it bounced so decisively I put it on watch rather than exiting quickly.

Final 4-day week profit: +2.98

That completes 2022 for me. I found a pretty steady profit and learned a lot more about managing this strategy. I’m doing some analysis of the year to assess whether any changes should occur for 2023. I’ll place the first trade for Tuesday expiration this afternoon.
