Options Trading for Income Weekly Update

I entered the 30 day trades today, the RUT method 1 and method 15 as well as the 55 day March trade. Unfortunately, I entered them early in the day and it would have been better if I waited. The February 55 day trade is down slightly after today’s move but is still only 1/3 […]

The pullback in RUT on Friday put the trade up some money and allowed me sell the 570/610/650 put butterfly at a profit and roll it up to a 580/620/660 put butterfly. I did this because we are near 30 days till expiration (DTE) and wanted to be a little closer to the market. Currently, […]

The market was flat on Monday and no adjustments were made to any of our positions. The lack of movement was great for our trades. As for today, RUT was pushing down a little and considering we are really close to expiration and the 30 Day Method 15 was up over 10%, I decided to […]

Well sometimes the market will not cooperate. We had a target of of $1500 on the January 55 day trade and this could have easily been hit with a little pullback on RUT last Friday, but since by midday it looked like this was not going to happen and it was the Friday before expiration […]
