 Hey everyone, welcome to this week's video update for Friday, September 1st I hope everybody had a good week of trading I'm gonna skip over the market overview and jump right into the trades heading into a four-day Weekend and I wanted to get this out, but short on time. So let's roll all right, so zero DTE nice week to end the The last week of August and start the first day of September plus 29,000 on all the zero DTE strategies 73% win rate across the board on 31 trades. So let's break these down. Let's go buy AM ratios first Let's go down in order Three trades all three of which were winners Tuesday small winner Wednesday was a nice winner and Thursday was a nice winner So all-in-all for AM ratios plus 4,025 The dick case special has been on fire plus four for four on the DKS Plus 4,000 for the week Zero DTE ducks just had one of those for plus 1,300 JSP just sell puts So the one that was a winner plus 1,500 that was that actually met my criteria This one as you can see as I flagged myself was discretionary This one was frustrating for a couple of reasons number one Because it was profitable up until the last 10 minutes before the bell and then the market just dropped and So I took a loss Number two because of that drop not only did I take this loss But I also lost a bet to dick K and had to ship him Barbecue from Kansas City, so kind of a double whammy on that one Um, and then let's go to power hour All right, so green week for power hour plus 2,800 Monday All three were losers Tuesday all three were winners Wednesday Had tronche one as the winner tronche three small winner tronche two small loser So about 3,000 on that day and then Thursday Tronche two was eleven twelve hundred dollar winner tronche one forty two hundred and tronche three just a small $150 loser and then today was basically a scratch little scratch on tronche one minus seven sixties tronche two plus eight fifty Tronche three could have been a really good day But again one of those days were the last few minutes it made a move kind of out of our range So unfortunately did not book as much as I had hoped on that one going into the close But still green for the week for power hour PM ratios and quiet lunches. Let's just put all these together So I had five trades Three of which were quiet lunches so plus thirty four thirty on this quiet lunch plus seventy two hundred on this one and Plus thirty five hundred on that one a couple p.m. Ratios plus five thousand and plus sixteen twenty five so nice Nice week on the afternoon trades over almost twenty one thousand just on those five trades alone And then our buddy Rick the only Rick I took this week Unfortunately was a loser. It was the only loser of the month minus fourteen hundred Would have taken one today on Friday, but I have a little bit new criteria for entering and It would have been a winner, but I didn't take it based on my new criteria. So Just the one for the week and that's it for zero DTE dynamic butterflies So couple time flies have been on fire except we until we took a couple a couple decent losses this week So down three thousand on those for the week Dynamic calendars rough week for the old calendars Get all these quick to make sure we get all of them covered So down Was the total yeah eighty four hundred for calendars $6,000 loss on a TGIF this one was real for the real Frustrator was the six seven. We're up almost twenty percent. I actually had an order in to close out a portion of that one And then that one market just ripped out a range on that one ended up taking a three thousand dollar loss Had it also had a two four for loss I wanted to go into this week a little bit lighter on calendars and ended up not really being as light as I Should have or wanted to especially in hindsight Because you know going into a holiday weekends. We see that a lot We see, you know some one directional moves. We see a massive volatility contraction just like we did this week. So Unfortunately did not Did not do well on the calendars which I'm gonna See Dark Avenger in our community had a request that I show a little bit more detail on on kind of year-to-date How my calendars have done I'm not going to do it here just to Because I don't have time with and I wanted I don't want to make it part of this video But I'm gonna do I'll do a separate video just kind of breaking that down. So look for that in the calendar Calendar channel in discord here shortly. All right, so that's calendars and then Iron ducks had three small duck winners Total of 513 in profits book to an SPX and one in rut No NTT's and then so lastly options selling and hedgehogs refresh this All right, so Opened a new hedgehog in ES Booked a volatility can to volatility contraction plays in VXX one for seven eighty eight one for four sixty eight Booked a short strangle in oil for five twenty booked a short strangle in soybeans for eight sixty eight and These are part of rolls that was still open. So let's go to the platform and And Show you open positions So we've got a short strangle open in 6e Close to booking 30% of profit in less than a week on that one, but it ended up kind of pumping some volatility into those Shockingly with everything else volatility contracting. So I didn't get filled on that. So hopefully next week in oil we've got a hedgehog That is a little bit profitable prices up here In ES I've got a hedgehog that was down to seven DTE But I figured I'd just keep it on over the weekend not much risk to holding that if we push up We'll scratch a little profit out if for some reason we have a massive down move. We've got a nice profit hump building to the downside GC we've got a nice reverse hedgehog going. It's up nicely about 800 MES rolled up some puts today. We also had rolled down calls so we are After adjustments, we are profitable, but not quite to our profit target NQ I've got a hedgehog that's up a few hundred bucks QQ Q we've got an iron duck this actually will expire today. So we'll book that hundred and seventy four dollars in profit In SP X we've got a time fly on so with volatility as low as it was I didn't want to just start with the butterfly. So I put on the entire structure here. So we'll give that over the weekend and Look, see if we can book a quick profit early next week on that Going back to show some other open positions. We've got a Flathead woodpecker condor in rut. We've already taken off three of five booked profits on that So just kind of trying to squeeze out some more profits on our remaining piece on the calendar front, we've got in SP X we've got a Tgif That's up looks like about 400 ish We've got a double calendar in NDX that started off as a single adjusted into a double that one's up about 800 ish And then we've also got a six seven DTE That we just put on that's actually in a different account. So I can't show you the graph here So that is it my friends. Hope everybody has a safe fun Labor Day weekend We'll be back at it on Tuesday when the markets open back up. Have a good weekend. Talk to you soon
