The market continued its climb this week but did so at a slow pace so my non-directional trades are still working well. Overall a calm week but there are always good things to learn when trading so take a look and tell me what you're doing as well!
On this short week of trading, I continue my slow build back after a couple of bad losses taken earlier in the month. But this was a good week for non-directional trades and that process is well underway. Even though we ended up at all-time highs this week, my non-directional trades fared quite well.
In this episode, I finish off the last of the ugly trades and start with a new trade that is doing well. Here's to sticking to my trading rules, winning consistently, and limiting losses.
Catching up as the new year rolls along. This was a mostly uneventful week in the market which is good for my style of trading. This week I start to dig out the mess of last week. But even in calm weeks there are good things to learn so come along and see how my trades went.
So this week was all about calendars even on my butterfly trade. We had a crazy start to the week with a giant whipsaw but I think it came out ok in the end. December is shaping up to be a good month as we move on from 2020. Let me know how your trading has been this year.
A shorter video this week. Only 2 trades as I’m trading a bit lighter this week due to various events. Still some good stuff as the market was a bit scatterbrained. Hope you enjoy it. As always, let me know what your thinking about options trading!
So I'm back in full swing with my narrow calendars as the market is acting normally again. I even went a bit wider with my longs this week as volatility has been low by 2020 standards. Some good trades this week. Come watch and learn with me and let me know what you think.
A relative short review this week as I did one trade, but what's important here is the reasons why I put on what I did. When the market goes crazy like it did last week, it's important to figure out when to get back in and then how to start trading again. That is the focus of this quick review. I hope you find it helpful.
While the week had many events that could make things crazy, there actually wasn't much to do this week and both of my trades closed profitably. But it's a good study in why I trade the way I do. I also do a quick review of July which went very well.
Another overall steady week with a little bumpiness in the middle of the week. Made a nice profit taking off 2 trades and have one going into next week. My narrow calendars are still working well so that's what I'm doing.

A quick video this week because the market behaved quite well. One trade came off in 1 day for a nice profit and the other did well during the week and will hopefully come off next week. It's nice to have weeks like this after what happened last week.
As we wrap up 2019, I show my last trades of the year and do a month-end summary. Volatility remained low so it's all calendars, all the time. I talk about how when the market is cooperating, that is the time to do more.
Thanks for everyone who has watched this year. I hope to do more of these in 2020!
In this week of Thanksgiving in the US, I am thankful for calendar spreads as they helped me go undefeated in November!
So this week continues the nice range-bound market so I am able to close a trade for a profit and I double down by opening 2 different trades this week.
Also check out my blog at https://midwaytrades.com. I have a new post up this week!
This video is "A Tale of 2 Calendars". One calendar that went bad and one that went very well. It's a good opportunity to talk about how I handled each one differently and how that affected each trade.

Theme this week: "What is it with Wednesday?" RUT hit me again on a Weds. But my other trades did ok. See how I got out of that long-term fly that's way out of the tent. Also see how I wrestle with a calendar that I probably should have taken off last week. But it's not all bad, I swear! :)
So in this episode I move on from vertical spreads and into time spreads. The first time spread covered here is the calendar spread. I discuss how they work, how they make money, how they are different from verticals, and how to use double calendars as an adjustment to a single using a real world example from a live trade.
