Happy Sunday! 

 

March was a pretty good month for placing new trades, with 6 new trades in the portfolio. 

 

The elevated volatility during the month provided nice entry points for new trades, and when volatility did subside, it provided profit-taking opportunities as well, resulting in the highest profit numbers so far in 2026. 

 

For the update this week:


  1. $721 realized profit across 5 trades in March

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 $569, or 11.6x 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


The broad market showed a lot of relief this week, though it's anyone's guess as to whether anything will really last. 

 

Earnings season for the stocks on my watchlist kicks off next week and I'm looking forward to any opportunities to deploy more capital.

 

How quickly things change! 

 

Have a good weekend!
