Hello!

 

Just a reminder that the link to indicate your interest for my last options course of 2025 is still open, and you can sign up at the link below. 

 

It's going to be a hybrid course which means you get access to the recorded classes immediately so you can watch and digest the concepts at your own pace. 

 

On top of that, there's also 8 weeks of live training from 10 July to 28 August where I'll show you how I'm trading my real portfolio live. 

 

Here's a small sample of DMs I've received from people who have taken the course, you can also check out my FAQ page for more details.

This week:

  1. $315 profit in IWM

  2. $120 profit in Kimberly Clark (KMB)


$315 profit in IWM


A few weeks ago I shared an earlier trade in IWM which I had to roll. 

 

For a quick recap, I initially placed a $193 | $220/222 jade lizard expiring April 17 for $360 premium. 

 

I then rolled the trade to a $192 | $192/194 jade lizard expiring May 9. 

 

The total premium collected across all these moves was $517. 

 

The market of course rallied towards the end of April, and went all the way through the $192/194 call spread.

I then paid $2.02 to close the whole position, which means I walked away with $315 in realized profit (or 61% of max profit). 

 

Considering the trade was once showing a $2,000 unrealized loss, this outcome is not too shabby! 

 

The jade lizard is one of the strategies I teach in my course, and this was a good example to show its flexibility and profitability, even when it needs to be rolled. 

 

As always all the trades within this portfolio are updated in close to real-time to my private community, and you can find out more about my private community at the link below. 


$120 profit in KMB


KMB announced their earnings towards the end of April and dropped afterwards, setting up a good trade entry. 

 

I sold a cash-secured put at the $125 strike, expiring June 20 for an initial premium of $170.

Just a couple of weeks later the market started rallying and I decided to try to be a little more aggressive with my profit target. 

 

Eventually I paid $50 to close the trade, which means I locked in a realized profit of $120 or 71% of max profit.

Closing thoughts & useful links


Volatility is creeping back into the market with the VIX climbing to the highest level it's been in 2 weeks. 

 

I took the opportunity to initiate a new position in AAPL and look forward to sharing with you the results when it comes off for a profit. 


Have a good weekend!
