 Hey everyone January is in the book So wanted to share my trade results for the month of January and actually before I jump into mine I want to share Chad's with you real quick so Chad is Chad runs our day trading live stream a couple days a week and so I always report his stuff too so as far as his Traditional day trading goes kind of a pretty normal month mighty 90 strategy. He booked 1650 on 13 trades volume runners he on seven trades did a little over 2,000 continuation runners eight trades a little over 990 for a total of 4,648 so that's kind of a typical month for Chad on his day trading stuff The other thing I want to share with you is so back in October of last year. So just a few months ago Chad had never ever even traded zero DTE I started talking to him about it a little bit He took one of my zero DTE courses and decided to start paper trading and he was extremely diligent paper traded non-stop for two months didn't trade any real money just paper traded for two months and And then finally started trading real money I think in December and then January was his first full month of actually kind of really tracking and Honing in on exactly how he was trading at the exact same way every time and check out these results. So this is just for January Chad made over a hundred thousand dollars just in January only two red days at a 21 days Trading zero DTE in January. So awesome stuff. Congrats to Chad. What a what a just incredible start to to trading zero DTE By the way, he's going to be sharing all the details of exactly what he's doing on February 8th Thursday February 8th after the market closes. So I've posted the zoom link in our community So you can check that out just mark your calendars for February 8th. All right So onto my stuff not as good as Chad. I'll tell you that right now. Not as good as Chad So first thing I'll do is I'll go over my results by account. So let's start there All right. So in my portfolio margin account, I had a Pretty sizable drawdown over 24% drawdown. So talk about just getting slapped in the face right out of the gate in 2024, I mean, you know, you go in you're excited Great new year can't wait to get started and just got absolutely punched in the face The first couple weeks. I was down over 24% fight Fought and clawed my way back and ended up down a quarter of a percent at the end of the month So basically flat. So all of that work for nothing basically and that was mostly due to zero DTE in this account I trade primarily zero DTE and And in my portfolio margin strategies, all right So that's that overview and then here's just the graph of it You can see, you know, first couple days popped up doing well and then from there Just boom boom boom just not not a great feeling But you can see I kind of clawed my way back to almost even in that account Here's just a monthly chart comparing to SPY and QQQ and Then here is my toss standard margin account and the strategies I trade in here are my option selling short premium hedgehogs ducks Time flies a little bit of zero DTE And and some calendars and so a lot better in this count plus 10% With a very low max drawdown only a drawdown of 1.32% So this is more in line with what I like to see So that was so that's good. So here's kind of the the P&L graph for January I'm nice and lower left to upper right and then there's the bar chart a little over 10% Compared to SPY and QQQ My trade ear standard margin account, this is primarily but my back test driven calendar strategies A little bit red for the month down ended up down 2.3% had an intramunth drawdown of 7.39 So there you can see kind of my actually kind of bounced back to I was you know I was down like said over over 7% at one point Bounced back ended still a little bit red on the month. You can see the bar chart there compare the SPY and QQQ and Then the other account that I'll start sharing here and this is the reason I I don't I didn't share before is it's mostly discretionary type directional trading in futures So in this in this account, I'm doing my market on clothes in balance trades where I have a I Have a little mini course in the community about how I trade that and then the other part is just directional futures trading It's discretionary. It's price action driven. I'm actually putting together some details about kind of exactly what I'm looking at So I haven't I haven't really put that out yet So but the account did really well in January over 65% return now keep in mind This is my smallest account too. So, you know 65% is great, but it's on a much smaller number than my other ones And I had a max drawdown of 12.18. So there's my P&L curve There's the monthly bar chart For my trade of eight account. All right, so that's just kind of a high-level overview of the different accounts that I trade Let's go to Trader sync and we'll kind of break it down by strategy. All right, so here's zero DTE So for the month ended up about 12,000 bucks higher for zero DTE After digging myself a hole If I kind of break these down a little bit more started doing an overnight iron condor Few of those trades a little bit positive plus 675 I don't think three any three two. No, that's oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, that's right I was doing some of those. All right, so minus 7,000 on my three two reentries. I Don't think I had any let's do all AM ratios here just to kind of put those together All right, so on my AM trades So I got to refresh this every time plus 8,705 so AM trades have been did well throughout the month My DK s had one monster loser. Come on trader sync Let's see. Yeah, I Had one one big loser on DK s for minus 5,800 all the rest were winners So plus 10,000 on DK s trades Those continue to do well. So at the time of this recording, this is FOMC day So I took a couple of FOMC trades today One of which was my FOMC iron condor. So actually those need to be combined. That was actually a scratch and then and then my long strangle that I took plus 3800 on my FOMC trades JSP's Had five of those four of which were winners for a total profit of 16,875 and Then power hour so power hour did not do so hot. I think that's right. Yeah minus 20,000 on my power hour trades So that was my big My big headwind was power hour PM iron condors did not do well either So basically I just should have stuck with before lunch is what what the stats are telling me You can see I only had two winners here One two three six losers minus 16,000 on those and then quiet lunch Kind of midday trades Those did about a little bit red minus minus 1,600 on those 60% win rate on the 11 trades Rick my buddy Rick is not really setting up these days as far as from a mechanical perspective But I did do a couple of discretionary and there was a couple that did so plus 7400 on my reverse iron condors I Started trading an O2 call calendar Doing really that this is really still kind of in test mode Although I'll be doing it with a little bit bigger size next month. So two losers on seven trades 925 total profit on those and Then my one DTE iron condor This is not obviously a zero DTE, but I I trade it like a zero DTE trade So I just keep it with the zero DTE category That continues to do well even though I had a few losers still plus 9,000 on my one DTE trades Time flies dynamic butterflies I had a couple losers and A few winners, but still a little bit red about a minus 1,100 on those Dynamic calendars Got a bunch of these so let me get all of these clicked Little bit red on calendars minus 2,200 and that next category would be My MOC so I had a couple MOC trades. This doesn't happen very often So you can see I had I took four of these this month for plus 4,600 and then options selling Had a winner in gold on a short strangle Those are just rolls. So that one's still open natty gas for plus 430 on a short strangle couple of small losses on a ES hedgehog that was still open books and profits on some short premium in the euro and volatility on VXX plus 926 on that one so plus 3,700 on the options selling trades and Then my portfolio margin strategies Came out green on those plus about 8,700 so pretty consistent there had a few losers PM time fly for minus 3,000 Just pointing out some of the bigger ones a Humpty for plus 2,500 Yeah, there's kind of plus or minus less than a thousand golden shark for 1,400 So that's portfolio margin the only other the only other strategy that I traded this month would be my Directional let's see a lot of these I don't trade anymore Where's my directional let's see directional Where is it? Where is it? Directional trader. Where's my directional? Sorry. Sorry. Give me a second. Give me a second What do I have this one under? Sorry my friends There it is right there Right under D directional futures So my directional future strategies a little over 9,800 So this is really the only strategy that I don't that I haven't specifically taught all the details yet all the others are trade alerts and call that during the live stream and all that good stuff so That is it my friends. Hopefully February is even better Hopefully, I don't have to dig myself out of a hole I will be posting kind of my updated zero DTE trade plan in the community here the next week or so and I'm gonna be making a lot of changes To how I'm gonna be doing it and so I'll keep you posted with the details on that As always, we are not financial advisors Options trading does involve risk you can pause the video and read the rest of this disclosure.
