Our total profit for the month of July came to $2,766. Our average profit per trade was $255. We had 12 closed trades, 10 of which were winners, giving us a winning percentage of 83.3%.

We just recently released our newest strategy course called Trading Options for Weekly Income, so that’s why you’ll see us incorporating those weekly options strategies more each month. We teach those strategies step-by-step in our weekly options course, which you can find in your Pro Member Member’s Area.

We also have an earnings course available in your Member’s Area called How to Trade Options on Earnings for Quick Profits, which will walk you through how to trade our earnings related strategies.

Individual Trades In-Depth

To view our closed trades for the month of July, click on the “Closed Trades” tab nested under the “NavigationALERTS” tab. We’ll dive a little bit deeper into each of the trades we closed this month.

Starting with McDonald’s, we did a Pre-Earnings Long Straddle and booked a profit of $366.

In /CL, which is the oil futures, we did a Short Strangle and booked a nice profit of $670.

Next, in Caterpillar, ticker CAT, we did a Pre-Earnings Long Call. We got some of that momentum leading up to the earnings announcement, making $267 on the trade.

Next, and one of our losers, was a SPX Weekly Iron Condor that we put on. This one just did not work in our favor and we ended up taking a loss of $440.

Our other loser was an Iron Condor in IWM, and you can see all of the adjustments that we had. We had been in this trade for quite a while, making adjustments. Price moved really far against us right out of the gate, so we were just managing and trying to get back some of the initial losses that we took here. We weren’t able to get back to profits.

We ended up just closing this out because implied volatility got super low. We were down quite a bit more than this, so we cut back on a lot of those losses, which is the key to these adjustments. We turned what was a pretty significant loss, into a, I don’t want to say small, but a loser of $532, as opposed to quite a bit more.

Our next trade was a Weekly Double Calendar in SPX, which booked a profit of $130.

Then we did an Iron Condor in FXI. We had to make several adjustments, but we got back to a small profit of $92.

In EBAY, we did a Short Strangle right after they announced earnings and made a profit of $144.

Then we went back to oil (/CL), and did a Short Strangle there. No adjustments were needed, and we took this off after just a couple of weeks, booking another profit of $450.

We did another weekly income trade in SPX, a Weekly Iron Condor. We were able to squeeze out a little profit on that trade, making $65.

In Starbucks, ticker SBUX, we did a Post-Earnings trade, booking a profit of $184. This was a quick trade, we were in and out in less than an hour. That’s a lot quicker than normal, but we were able to take a profit of $184.

And then lastly, our biggest winner of the week was another one of our SPX weekly income trades. In this case it was a Double Calendar and we booked a profit of over $1,300 on the trade.

Those are all the trades we closed in the month of July. Again, if you’re interested in getting our NavigationALERTS, you can sign up for our $1 14-day trial at https://navigationtrading.com/pro-trial!
