Happy weekend! 

 

April was a month of crazy volatility thanks to tariffs - and the heightened volatility brought about higher premiums and more profit. 

 

I looked back and pulled up the previous months' reports and you can see the very tangible impact that the April volatility brought to the average trade profit. 

 

Jan - 4 trades, $323 profit

 

Feb - 6 trades, $592 profit

 

Mar - 4 trades, $547 profit

 

Apr - 4 trades, $824 profit 

 

This also makes it 32 months of consecutive positive returns since this newsletter and portfolio went live in September 2022. 

 

For the update this week:

  1. $824 realized profit across 4 trades in April

With April done, here's the running total of realized profits since the course's inception:


  • Year One (Sep 2022 - Aug 2023) - $3,422

  • Year Two (Sep 2023 - Aug 2024) - $6,292

  • Sep 2024 - $1,373

  • Oct 2024 - $807

  • Nov 2024 - $793

  • Dec 2024 - $489

  • Jan 2025 - $373

  • Feb 2025 - $592

  • Mar 2025 - $547

  • Apr 2025 - $824


This brings the total for the last 32 months to a realized profit of $15,512 or a running monthly average of $484. 

 

If you're familiar with options and want to follow along the trade updates, you can sign up for my Bread Crumb subscription which is priced at $49/month.

 

i.e. on average, each month you would pay $49 and potentially make $484, or 9.8x 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. 



Closing thoughts & useful links


April was an interesting way to open the 2nd quarter of 2025, and May is shaping up to be a potentially profitable month as well. 

 

Even though volatility has subsided considerably since April, I feel like things can change at any moment. 

 

As always, picking the stocks that fit your risk profile and sticking to the strategy is half the battle won. 


Have a good weekend!
