 What's up navigation traders? I want to take a few minutes to go over our trades for the month of October It was a wild and crazy month with a lot of volatility in fact before I jump in To reviewing our trades. I want to go to the platform to point out a couple things first off this is a chart of the S&P 500 and This red line represents where we started January 1st of this year so on the first trading day and So what you'll see as the the market was up about 10% or so and then it came crashing down in the month of October We're slightly above that now But think about this if you were invested in an S&P 500 index fund You're basically flat for the year. Let's look at bonds because a lot of people have this, you know advisors put them in a Traditional stock and bond portfolio. Maybe you have 70% stocks 30% bonds that kind of thing Well, look at where bonds are I have to scroll all the way up here to even get the line Here's where we started in the 30-year bonds at the beginning of the year And you can see that bonds are actually down where a lot of people who in traditional investing Think that bonds are safe And a lot of times didn't realize that they could actually go down They're seeing their bond portfolio down significantly for the year So if you have a mix of stocks and bonds, there's a good chance that your portfolio is negative on the year But if you're a navigation trader that is not the case Our portfolio is up almost 40% Year-to-date and we've you know, obviously still got a couple months to go But let's jump through October and give you an idea of kind of what we did this month We had 12 closed trades 11 of which were winners. So we just had one loser total profit over $6,200 which that makes this the largest most profitable month that we've had To date since we started posting our alerts. So awesome stuff just continues to get better with volatility There's no better time to be trading the strategies that we teach than right now. We love love love Volatility we had five different strategies that we traded here short strangles iron condors We did a long put vertical had a couple of earnings related trades with a pre earnings long call and a post earnings iron Condor so let's jump over to the performance page navigation trading comm ford slash Performance and take a look at where we're at year-to-date. So so far in 2018. We've closed 130 trades our average profit per trade is $272 with a win rate of over 91 percent 91 and a half percent That's better than nine out of ten trades are winners And you can come here and scroll down and see every month We go all the way back until June of last year as well. We first started posting these trades We haven't had a losing month on our closed trades in any of those months And let's take a look at what we've done in October.

So we start with the beginning of the month right here First trade that we closed was an EWZ short strangle We had this on for about 11 days and booked a profit of a hundred and forty dollars Our next trade that we closed out on 10-4 was the Costco pre earnings long call This one just did not work out for us We were in this trade for almost three weeks lost five hundred and thirty four dollars on that trade And that was our one loser for the month In 6e which is the euro we did a short strangle there We're in this trade for about a couple weeks made right at three hundred dollars on that trade in EWZ We traded a short strangle. We were in this for just a couple weeks made two hundred and eight dollars on that one Costco came back and got some of our money back We were in this for less than two weeks booked a profit of a hundred and fifty six dollars on this post earnings trade And then an EWW, which is the Mexican ETF We did a short strangle there booked a profit of a hundred and forty eight dollars And then our biggest winner was three thousand four hundred sixty dollars And that was an oil and this was a short strangle and we actually entered this trade Back at the end of May. So we had this on for several months We never had more than two contracts on at any given time But price would move and we'd add another one on and price would move back and we'd book a profit on the other one And it just prices kept bouncing around and we kept adding and taking off adding and taking off But again, we never had more than two contracts on at any given time Which equates to you know less than four thousand dollars of buying power and just by staying mechanical We booked an unbelievable profit $3,460 on that trade next trade was XRT short strangle made a hundred and four dollars Rh which is restoration hardware. We did a long put vertical here booked a profit of 323 Another big winner over sixteen hundred dollars on this trade and this was in the S&P 500 This was the ES iron condor previously. We weren't posting the dates on this page We always post them in our alerts when you get them live But from the very beginning we weren't posting the dates and then we started you see here at the end of August So that's why the dates just start there, but we've been in this trade for over six months I'll have to look back to see when the exact date was that we started but kind of same story as the Oil one where we'd never on this we never had more than four contracts on at any given time You see we started out with one then added another piece with two and then took off added took off added and Continue to roll. We got a nice move down in October Which helped out our position and we ended up booking a profit of over sixteen hundred dollars on that iron condor And again, it's just our mechanical Strategy and the way that we adjust and and staying mechanical with our adjustments You can you can really accumulate these credits and and book a really nice profit two more trades for the month one was another iron condor and TLT booked a profit of 156 dollars and Lastly an EWZ. We did a short strangle and booked another profit of a hundred and forty four dollars So just another phenomenal month for our pro members We are open to new members right now if you want to check it out Just go to our site navigation trading calm You'll see this big orange button in the upper right hand corner says pro membership trial You can click on that and you can check it out to do a two week trial for just a dollar to see if It's something that you're interested in going for like I said with implied volatility Extremely high right now.
