Trading Update: December 22 - December 26, 2025
With VIX being so low and it being the week of Christmas, I chose to take it easy and only looked for opportunities to close existing open trades, and choosing not to open any new trades.
I closed a single trade during the week - a SOFI $27 1/16/2026 Put, realizing a $89 in profit (closed at ~43% of possible profit).
Portfolio Status
Not a whole lot of movement in my portfolio.
My last five weeks (latest first): W-W-L-L-W.
Year-to-date realized P/L: –$4,069.

Here is a breakdown of P/L by Buy v/s Sell strategies I have used so far.
Plan for Next Week
I have 2 trades open now, 1 in SOFI and 1 in NFLX.
1 of my SOFI and the open NFLX both reached their 21-DTE mark this week, I closed SOFI and left NFLX open, I might look to roll it next week - with IV being so low I am betting I can extract some more theta out of it before I manage the trade.
I am not looking to be very active next week, but I will have an end of year review for his I did in my first year of intentional options trading.
Thanks for following along. See you next week!
