On September 28, 2023, the portfolio reached $64.21. That is a 22.33% increase from last week's $52.49, with $11.72 in options premium collected.
The weekly result came from options premium. I am trying to build the account through repeated, controlled decisions rather than one oversized bet.
Market context
From September 21 to September 28, Bitcoin rose from roughly $26,570 to $27,020, while Ethereum recovered from around $1,584 to $1,653. Both moves were constructive but remained below the threshold for a major weekly market move.
It is tempting to look at a 22% week and call it proof that the process works. At this account size, that would be the wrong lesson. The useful part is that the balance grew and I stayed with the plan. The next week can look very different.
TerraM
TerraM held around $0.86. It is early and liquidity is still thin, so I am treating that as a reference rather than a mark on the portfolio. TerraM was the longer-term research context for this systematic options work. Ep 5 was another reminder of how quickly percentages change when the base is this small.
I will keep posting the weekly figures in the Performance journal and keep the actual focus on risk, premium, and the next trade.
