Sharing my first live option trade testing the waters after seeing progressive results and upsizing on paper. This is on a MSFT short put vertical expiring next Friday. Noticed the momentum and rotation of the overall market. AAPL hitting all time highs breaking out from a daily range. MSFT has been ranging but has yet to follow through breaking its daily range and into 52 week highs.
Return on risk is about 20% over 6 trading days. Looking to mitigate risk if 182 breaks, market reverses sharply, or at 50% to 90% total premium profit depending on market and breakout momentum.
Trade earned ~60% profitability 2nd day into 11 day contract.
