 Hey everyone March 2024 is in the books. So sharing my trade results for the month of March as always pause the video to read the full risk Disclosure investing and options trading does involve risk past performance may not be indicative of future performance So before I jump into mine Chad runs our day trading live stream a couple days a week So on his mighty 90 and runner strategies a pretty light month of trading on those as he was out for a week turkey hunting not too many setups and I think his focus has also shifted a little bit more to His zero DTE stuff. So on a zero DTE Am iron condors a little over 9,000 on 18 trades lunchtime 18 trades as well a little over 6,600 and Power hour 18 trades almost 14k so total 65 trades 42 winners 23 losers 29,645 so another nice month from Chad on his TLC zero DTE trades As far as my stuff goes Had a really good month one of my best months ever in my in my toss account, so This is my standard margin account What I've done here is as I mentioned last month is I've transitioned all of my strategies out of this account except for these four My Rick my one DTE and a couple of re-entries. All these are Automated and I'm compounding this account. So a nice return This is 44.22 percent for the month of March in this account with a very minimal drawdown of just over five percent So here's the P&L curve in this account so far now this challenge portfolio just started March 1st So this month, but what a start, right? I mean, that's I think that I think we call that a hockey stick So that account now is up 80 plus percent year to date you can see January was up about 10 percent that month February about 18 percent and then another 44 percent this month So that accounts just going crazy My portfolio margin account, this is the one that I've had well three drawdowns in now Just a another drawdown this month But clawed my way back to even again literally the third time this year The first couple weeks I had a drawdown and I clawed my way back the last couple weeks So hopefully I can stop that trend going forward But that that account is back in the green I must I do some zero DTE in this account some options selling portfolio margin trades a little bit of calendars I transitioned stuff from my other toss account into this one so I could leave that one just for the Just for the challenge portfolio. So it's kind of a mishmash of different strategies now But here's here's where I'm at and first two weeks of January drawdown Clawed my way back to even first two weeks of February drawdown got back in the green Drawdown first two weeks of this month clawed my way back to even so again, hopefully I can stop that trend So here's the breakdown by month small red Yeah, small red January small red February and then this is Where I'm at for March small green My tradier standard margin account This is primarily back test driven calendars and some other random trades if I don't have strikes available in my thicker swim accounts A nice return this month 8.91% with a small peaked valley drawdown of 2.46 This one's still in the red. This really hasn't been in the green all month But coming back from a from a drawdown that we saw in in February and March And here's the breakdown here. Yeah, really February was the big down little little red January big red February about nine point something percent and then nice bounce back this month And then in my trade of eight futures trading account. This is all directional discretionary futures trading Along with my market on close and balance trades a little bit green for the month with a pretty sizable drawdown, but You can see I you know had a really good month almost 65 percent in January and then February and March It's kind of chopped around had a good little run there and then pulled back, but Still very green 55 ish percent higher for the year But it's been kind of back and forth since really since January And then there's the breakdown. You can see the big January a little bit red last month a little bit green this month All right, so that's that was my breakdown by Account that I trade now. Let's go to by strategy So let's start with zero DTE So all zero DTE trades a little over 97,000 for the month so really nice really nice month in zero DTE's if I break these down By the different strategies will go a AM my AM trades All winners nine trades all winners almost 31,000 on those my Challenge portfolio, which includes these trades here a little over 57,000 on those So that's my Rick my one DTE and my two re-entries 74% win rate there. So that's been awesome performing really well The next category of zero DTE my my end of day my magic Mahomes trades plus 4,600 for the month One little loser a couple sizable losers and the rest winners 12 trades there So that's been cool to do when it went when it sets up at the end of the day Let's see next FOMC so we did have Jerome taking the stand This month three trades a little over $7,800 on FOMC day for those three trades I've got a One DTE hedge. I'll be introducing this in my trade plan for next month, but that was that was profitable It's it's going into Going on my trade plan coming up in April JSP's so I had three discretionary trades that put me in the red here In a pretty sizable fashion for the strategy I can see that one for minus 6,500 that one for minus 6,000 that one for minus 3,000 My normal JSP's would have been green, but on the discretionary side Got some got some red in there to the tune of $14,000 Let's see my NDX pretty flat for the month Yeah, minus 164 on 21 trades and then power hour Was red for the month Get all these clicked Yeah, minus 8,600 for power hour trades. You can see March 4th 5th 7th and 8th were all red Had some green in there, but overall not so not so hot minus 8,600 in power hour and then my PM trades Basically my afternoon zero DTE ears Pretty much scratch plus 246 on 17 trades My price action. I was a little surprised by this. They were actually a little bit red on the month By a couple thousand yeah minus 2250 and really it's because earlier in the month Had some red, you know March 8th was pretty red March 12th was a little bit red Actually, they started doing really well in the latter part of the month, but down 2200 for the month on those My quiet midday tranches did really well plus 9100 on those Had a red day on March 8th But otherwise pretty at March 19th was red. Otherwise pretty green And then the and then these are my ricks that were not in my Challenge portfolio because they were done on a discretionary basis only one loser So plus 3000 on those on seven trades And then my o2 call calendar a little bit green three trades one loser plus So that is it for zero DTE Let's go to the next category Which is directional futures a Little bit green plus 3500 And this includes there's one. Yeah, this one right here minus 3400 complete gamble Just a complete revenge trade one of those that you look at yourself in the mirror after it's done And you're like, what are you doing? You know one of those Very frustrating that that still happens from time to time You know, I still have that little guy inside me that I got it that I got it just shoved smash back Into non-existence, but everyone's why he rears his ugly head and that was that was one of those trades So minus 3400 on that one and then the other big loss was an moc trade the only moc trade I've gotten stopped out on that was my minus 5000 but still still positive for the month Plus 3500 on all my directional futures trades I'm doing a directional day trading futures class for our community actually later today on Friday. I'm recording this So for that'll be in the members area If for members that can't attend live So looking forward to that Next category Iron ducks Just one duck plus 280 I am duckless. I have no ducks on right now I have not had an opportunities to enter any more ducks Next category dynamic butterflies Just one loser one winner small red as far as clothes trades go get some open trades currently dynamic calendars Plus 9852 nice nice month for calendars. I mentioned in my weekly update I shouldn't even I should not have traded this week with the shortened holiday week I know better. I did I did reduce my position size super small But still ended up down 900 for the week so that I should have added another thousand dollars to this for the month But did not listen to my rules on that on that piece All right, so that's calendars and then options selling plus 1500 Actually, actually the closed is a little bit less than that because a couple of these were rolls that are still open But let's see one close two three four five six closes Six closes one one of those was a loser and then lastly portfolio margin Plus 5400 that's actually that's actually when it settles out that won't be correct. It'll be more like 1400. I have this Golden shark here that's showing 5000 because the rest of it hasn't expired or settled yet So that'll end up being about a $1,200 winner as opposed to 5,000 But some other winners in here a couple vertigo winners Humpty golden shark. There's a time fly loss Humpty loss Humpty win And then a couple small small losers there. So a little bit green for the month on portfolio margin, but awesome month overall Hoping and this is in an environment where implied volatility is low. So I'll take it I will take that every month of the year All right, I'll see you next month. Have a great trading April talk to you soon
