Happy Sunday!
The VIX was under 19 for the entirety of May, which means volatility was low and not the best environment for opening new positions.
That's very apparent in the stats this month where I only opened 3 trades and was more focused in closing previously-opened trades for a profit.
For the update this week:
$800 realized profit across 5 trades in May

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 $584, or 11.8x 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.
Final note, I've kept the private community subscription flat at $49 since this launched in 2022. As the community enters its 5th year, I think the consistency and results speak for themselves and I will be raising the price to $59 come 1 September 2026.
I try to be as transparent as possible about my pricing, so I'm giving advance notice of this change before it goes into effect.

Have a good weekend!
