Semana 47 / Week 47 ( Jan, 26 exp date )

Muy buena semana para empezar el año, no hemos operado las dos primeras semanas del año tras las fuertes perdidas de Enero del año pasado, Abrimos la posición el jueves con una caida del mercado y un incremento de la volatilidad, y a pesar de la investidura de Trump no hubo un gran movimiento; lo que nos favoreció para cerrar la operación en las primera hora del martes. Próximo trade subimos a 3 contratos por money management.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We faced a very good week to start the year, in fact we have not traded over the first two weeks of the year after the strong losses of January last year. We opened the position on Thursday taking advantage of a  market drop and a volatility peak. Despite the investiture of Trump the market did not make a big move; which favored us to close the trade in the first hour of Tuesday. Next Trade we will add a third contract considering our money management strategy.

Semana 46 / Week 46 ( Dec, 23 exp date )

Al final lo intenté y salió bien. La primera ingresada el jueves ( > 7$ ) era demasiada

buena como para dejarla escapar. Eso si no esperé a cerrarla el Martes, que hablaba Yellen; 

y ayer Lunes la cerré nada mas abrir el mercado. La prima perdió valor muy deprisa, lo

que favoreció nuestros intereses.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I finally gave it a chance and It turned out ok. The premium cashed on Thursday ( > 7$) was too good to ignore it. But this time I did not wait for Tuesday to close the trade ( Yellen´s speech ), and yesterday (Monday), I close the trade once the market was opened, as we had a 70% of the maximum possible income in our pocket. Premium eroded very quickly this week.

Semana 45 / Week 45 ( Dec, 16 exp date)

La paciencia es una virtud imprescindible para el trader. He preferido esperar 5 semanas al siguiente trade y evitar el incremento de volatilidad que podia originar las elecciones americanas y el referendum en Italia. El mercado está alcista y podria lateralizarse un tiempo ahora, ya veremos.... Esta semana el precio no se ha movido, y eso es justo lo que queremos.

Seguiremos seleccionanado las semanas, esta hay triple vencimiento de derivados el viernes, y posiblemente tampoco operare.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Patience is an essential virtue for a trader. I preferred to wait 5 weeks for the next trade and  avoid an increase of volatility that could originate the American elections and the referendum in Italy. The market is bullish and could lateralize some time now, We will see .... This week the price has not moved nor volatility, and that is just what we want.

We will keep on trading just certain weeks, avoiding volatility peaks. This week We face the triple witching hour on Friday, so we will be cautious.

Semana 44 / Week 44 ( Nov,4 exp date)

Nueva semana ganadora con muy buena prima ingresada el jueves. Cerramos ayer martes a la apertura del mercado, y no a media tarde ya que teniamos ingresado mas del 50% de la prima y el mercado está bajista a corto plazo. No haremos nada hasta las elecciones generales americanas.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New winning week with a nice premium cashed on Thursday. We closed the position yersterday ( Tuesday ) at market open, not midafternoon, considering we had more than 50% of the cashed premium in our pocket, and the market is bearish short term. We will not do anything until the American elections.
