$1,431 realized profit in August 2026
Happy Sunday!
August brings the 4th year of this portfolio to a close.
I'm very proud to have delivered 48 months of consecutive profits to anyone in my private community following along.
Not only that but the oldest trade is trade #192 which was placed just a few weeks ago on August 3. All 191 trades prior to that have been closed for a profit.
When I started this newsletter 4 years ago, my goal was to show that selling options can be profitable and sustainable over a long period of time.
Here we are 4 years later and I think we're just getting started.
A reminder that all 195+ trades (including the bonus trades)are available for anyone in my community to read with full transparency.
You're welcome to look through the archives as well. I don't post each and every trade because I can't fit them all in, but the history is there.

If you're familiar with options and want to follow along the trade updates, you can join my private community which is priced at $59/month.
i.e. on average, each month you would pay $59 and potentially make $620, or 10.5x the subscription fee.
Every trade I share is from my real portfolio, which means if the trade isn't making money, I'm not making money either.
Do note none of these are recommendations - I'm just sharing trade updates within my own portfolio which may or may not be right for you.
Have a good weekend!
