Totally flat, only my 401k has some open ETF long positions. Feels weird, first time totally flat since 2004 but wife said NO TRADING on vacation…….I will miss it!!!

Going flat for 2 weeks as we will be in France on a well deserved vacation. I may trade once I get over there but at least wanted to be flat for the first part as anytime I cannot access the market (airplane, train, deep in the woods) the market does some stupid stuff. I try to learn something everyday but this was the hardest lesson.

Anyway, over the last few years I have been perfecting butterfly tactics with adjustments when needed and am currently working on asymmetric iron condors. If interested I will post them when I get back. Not as a “service style” but you are all skilled traders. I could just post a screenshot and you can trade it from there.

We charged 5k a year for the service and my official results are about 168% returns since October 2022 when we started it. Better returns in higher VIX but still works now. Just $500 profits on 10 SPX contracts instead of 1-3k when the VIX is over 20.

But I don’t want to overload posting so if no interest no hard feelings, I trade it myself anyway.

But I will say from the professional side it was a lot of work and not enough return and even if we gave them explicit instructions people would still screw it up. I know those here will not.

Have a great few weeks and will catch up when we are back in the USA!
