  Not sure why this got marked sensitive, but here is the latest post I did on my blog where I talk about 4 changes I made to my trading this year that has made me better. https://www.midwaytrades.com/4-changes-that-made-me-a-better-trader-in-2026 RT: https://www.midwaytrades.com/api/posts/i959zr14xn

  New calendar for the week. Have to put it on for Thurs/Mon due to the upcoming holiday. I think having a Friday holiday messed with the prices a bit so I put on a 6-lot but the risk is similar to my other calendars.

  To mitigate some weekend risk, especially with world events being what they are, I added 1 calendar to the upside at 7650P. This flattens my delta and gives me some upside room. Plenty of downside room.

  My latest trade review video is up on BitChute, Rumble, and PeerTube. I only put something on towards the end of the first week so I combined these 2 weeks. Overall a very good end to May. I do finally make an adjustment so there's an opportunity to talk about that. And I do a high level review of May. https://www.bitchute.com/video/b7zH5zwl7QVw https://rumble.com/v7ap4po-twmt-weeks-ending-may-22-and-may-29-2026-keep-on-rolling-along.html @midway

  Ok, I did a couple of trades today. First, I closed the calendar I put on a week go for about 6%. Just wanted to take advantage of the pullback. Then I put on a new calendar 29 days out, long 4 days later at 7510C. I usually don't go out this long, but the IV was better so I went out an extra week. Should be interesting.

  I put on a new calendar 24 days out, longs 4 days further about 30 points under the money (7250C).

  Due to the run up over the past 2 days and my work schedule today, I closed mu calendars for just above break even (made around $9). If I didn't have several in person meetings today I would have waited it out. But my intention is to re-enter this trade later today.

• Post #2784269

  Ok, so I probably didn't need to close that calendar since SPX came back down, but sometimes life gets in the way. I have re-entered the same trade but 60 points higher since we are still up decently since I put on the last trade Now I'm centered at 7310.

  My latest trade review video is up on BitChute, Rumble, and PeerTube. The real key this week is to show how I traded while on the road where I wasn't able to monitor things as closely as I usually can. Life is real and trading must fit those real life events. I was on the road, in meetings mid-week and it affected how I traded. It all turned out well but I hope it helps people see how to trade when life gets busy and not let things get out of control https://www.bitchute.com/video/QFTj...

  The calendars closed this morning for 8.5%

• Post #2784264

  I opened a new 4-lot calendar, 23 days out, longs 4 days later @ 7425C. Pretty standard trade for me, it’s worked pretty well so far

• Post #2784263

  Closed my calendars for just under 8% in 2 days. Perfect day for this trade.

  My latest trade review video is up on BitChute and Rumble. This was an interesting week as we continued to break all time high in the SPX. I did very well by positioning myself for a short-term pullback ... twice and it worked out well. In the short term, contrarian thinking can pay off. Take a look and let me know what you think. https://www.bitchute.com/video/hEKZdxyz1b6t/ https://rumble.com/v79zyme-twmt-week-ending-may-15-20

  Well, NVDA earnings didn't really move anything, but I did go ahead and open a new 22-day calendar, longs 4 days further, at 7410C.

  My latest trade review video is up on BitChute, Rumble, and PeerTube This video covers another 2 week stretch because the first week I didn't do much but the one trade I did do turned out well. I did make one unforced error, I put on a trade without remembering the news and that trade didn't work out because I put it on 1 day too early. Good lesson. Situational awareness matters but just as important is how I managed it and kept the loss reasonable which is the key to successful...

  With the move up I added one calendar on the upside at 7025C. Just trying to gain some upside room and cut my deltas. I can add more or roll some up if needed.

• Post #1406410

  With the market moving up more today, I'm liking this trade less so I closed 3 of the lower 4 calendars to make one double calendar at much lower risk. I may end up closing this as well, but this one will be easier to get out of as it's balanced.

• Post #1406409

  Ok, so I'm not bailing on it quite yet. But I did roll the lower side calendar to the upside calendar leaving a 2-lot 16-day calendar at 7025C. Not a bad trade. I'll likely put on a new one soon as well.

• Post #1406408

  And here's a new calendar a little further out (23 days / longs 4 days futher) at 6975C.

• Post #1406407

  I closed the calendars from 2 days ago for just above break-even (made $10). I'd rather reposition it than adjust it. I may do this later today. The other trade from last week is holding up well.

• Post #1406406

  I re-entered the calendars I closed earlier today 105 points higher.

• Post #1406405

  Ok, folks, this is a strange one...I had to recheck it 5 times to make sure it's real. But that calendar trade I put on today closed 14 minutes later for 31%. I have to rational explanation as it's trading now for close to what I bought. I guess the lesson here is *ALWAYS* have a close order in (mine was for 8%). I can't even show the graph due to limitations of my software but just to show something I'll show the transactions from my brokerage platform just t...
