EP 10 / Reaching $124: Lessons From the First Months of Crypto Options Trading

Historical research record — this edition retains the dated archive observation and adds market context and later methodological reflection. It is not a current performance statement, investment offer, or forecast.


The snapshot

The October 26, 2023 archive records the TerraMatris research account at $124.02, compared with $102.68 the prior week. The recorded increase was $21.34, or 20.78%. The source record calls the $21.34 options gains and lists the TerraM reference price as $0.86.


The stated percentage reconciles to the account values: $124.02 minus $102.68 equals $21.34, and $21.34 divided by $102.68 equals 20.78% rounded to two decimals. The reconciliation verifies the internal arithmetic, not the economic composition of the gain. The archive does not include the…

EP 9 / Options Income as Crypto Volatility Returned

Historical research record — this edition retains the dated archive observation and adds market context and later methodological reflection. It is not a current performance statement, investment offer, or forecast.


The snapshot

On October 19, 2023, the TerraMatris research account was recorded at $102.68, up from $92.86 a week earlier. The archived change was $9.82, or 10.58%. The source record labels the $9.82 as options income and lists a TerraM reference price of $0.86.


The arithmetic is straightforward: $102.68 minus $92.86 equals $9.82; $9.82 divided by $92.86 equals 10.58% when rounded to two decimals. That consistency is useful, but it is not a substitute for a complete account of the week. The archive does not provide strikes, expiries, contracts, entry or exit…

Reporting date: October 12, 2023 Archive snapshot: Portfolio value $92.86 | Reported options income $12.43 | Weekly change 15.45% | TerraM reference price $0.86


EP 8 records a further early-stage portfolio snapshot: $92.86 in value on October 12, 2023, a reported weekly change of 15.45%, and $12.43 in options income. The portfolio value increased by $12.43 from the preceding archived value of $80.43. That equality is a useful bookkeeping observation, not…

The September 28 account snapshot

The September 28, 2023 archive records the TerraMatris research account at $64.21. The prior reported value was $52.49. The record therefore shows a weekly increase of $11.72, or 22.33%, and lists $11.72 of options premium collected. It also lists a TerraM quoted price of $0.86. These historical figures are not restated, adjusted, or converted into a new performance claim.


This is a small-account observation. A change of $11.72 against $52.49 produces a 22.33% arithmetic change, but that ratio does not supply a forecast, a…

A small account, a useful data point

On September 21, 2023, the TerraMatris research account was recorded at $52.49, up from the prior archive value of $40.37. The historical record reports $12.12 in options premium collected and a 30.02% weekly increase. Those figures are preserved exactly as archived.


The percentage is easy to overread. With a starting account value of $40.37, a $12.12 change necessarily produces a large percentage move. The useful observation is not that 30.02% is a weekly target or a forecast. It is that, at this early scale, each recorded…

September 14, 2023 archive note — reconstructed with contemporaneous market context.


The record

On September 14, 2023, the TerraMatris archive recorded $40.37, compared with $35.89 a week earlier. The reported change was +$4.48, or +12.48%. The archive also listed TerraM at $0.86.


The calculation is accurate: $4.48 divided by $35.89 is approximately 12.48%. The interpretation requires restraint. A $4.48 difference can look large when expressed against a $35.89 base, but the episode remains a small historical research snapshot. It should not be read as a…

September 7, 2023 archive note — reconstructed with contemporaneous market context.


The record

This is an archival research note, not a performance claim. On September 7, 2023, the TerraMatris record showed $35.89, up from the preceding recorded value of $33.66. The reported weekly change was +$2.23, or +6.63%. The same record listed TerraM at $0.86.


The arithmetic is straightforward: $2.23 divided by $33.66 is approximately 6.63%. What is less straightforward—and more important—is interpretation. At this size, a small dollar movement can create a…
