On September 21, 2023, the portfolio closed the week at $52.49, up $12.12 from $40.37. The reported weekly change was 30.02%, and the increase came from options premium collected during the period.
That is a good result, but the account is still small enough that twelve dollars can make a big percentage difference. I am keeping the focus on the actual cash added to the portfolio and on whether the next setup is worth taking.
Market context
From September 14 to September 21, Bitcoin was broadly stable around $26,540–$26,570. Ethereum eased from roughly $1,627 to $1,584. The change in ETH was notable but below the threshold for a major weekly market move, and the recorded portfolio increase remained options premium.
The options approach is doing what I wanted it to do in these early weeks: give the portfolio a way to collect premium while I build capital gradually. It does not remove market risk, and it does not make every future week look like this one.
TerraM
The TerraM token remained at $0.86. Liquidity was still limited, so the token quote and the portfolio value stay separate in my notes.
I will keep the next update simple: report the numbers, explain what changed, and avoid getting carried away by a small-account percentage.
