With November done, here's the running total of realised profits since the course's inception:
Year One (Sep 2022 - Aug 2023) - $3,422
Sep 2023 - $462
Oct 2023 - $136
Nov 2023 - $337
This brings the total for the last 15 months to a realised profit of $4,357 or a running monthly average of $290.
I said last month that profits from option trades aren't linear, with October coming in with just $136. However that's sandwiched between 2 good months of September and October at $462 and $337 respectively, or about $311 per month for the last 3 months.

Closing words & useful links
The rally continued this week and the VIX continues to be super low at 12.63. I did try adding a few trades this week but I erred on the conservative side just because of how low volatility has been.
I will continue to take a patient approach - no point jumping into trades for the sake of it, and being stuck in positions when volatility inevitably comes back (like it did in September and October).
