 Hey everyone, I hope your trading is going great I wanted to take a couple minutes to give you an update on our trades for September Another great month of trading. We had 10 closed trades 10 winners zero losers total profit of $3158 and 50 cents We we traded four different strategies this month. We had short strangles short put verticals Short call verticals and an iron condor We didn't trade quite as many strategies this month in part because Really the meat of earnings season was over so we didn't have any earnings related trades But the key takeaway from the strategies that we traded was that we had short strangles Which is a Delta neutral strategy. We had iron condors, which is a Delta neutral strategy We had short call vertical, which is a bearish strategy and we had short put vertical Which is a bullish strategy.
