Happy Sunday!
Before the February update, a big thanks to everyone who signed up for April's option course. It sold out in just over 24 hours, making it the 7th consecutive course to sell out.
My last course of the year will tentatively be in July/August and I'll open registration roughly a month before that, so look out for the link in this newsletter in June.
For the update this week:
$530 realized profit across 5 trades in February

If you're familiar with options and want to follow along the trade updates, you can join my private community which is priced at $49/month.
i.e. on average, each month you would pay $49 and potentially make $566, or 11.5x 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.
Closing thoughts & useful links
It's only the first week of March, but the relative calm of January and February have already been forgotten, with geopolitics once again taking the stage.
To put things in perspective, I placed 4 trades in the whole of February whereas I've already entered 4 new trades in the last week alone.
How quickly things change!
Have a good weekend!
