On October 5, 2023, the Terramatris fund reached a value of $80.43, marking another strong week of growth during the early development of the strategy.
The portfolio gained 25.26% week over week, supported by both the appreciation of the underlying positions and continued income from options trading.
Weekly Performance
- Fund value: $80.43
- Options income: $16.22
- Weekly growth: 25.26%
- TerraM token price: $0.86
Options income reached $16.22 during the week, representing a meaningful contribution relative to the size of the portfolio at the time.
The result demonstrated how options premium could help accelerate portfolio growth when combined with favorable market movements. However, returns of this size should not be viewed as typical or guaranteed, particularly during the early stages of a small portfolio, when relatively modest gains can produce large percentage changes.
TerraM Token Remains Stable
The TerraM token remained unchanged at $0.86.
While the fund continued to grow, the token price stayed flat, showing that short-term portfolio performance did not automatically translate into immediate token appreciation.
At this stage, TerraM was still in the early phase of its development, with limited liquidity and relatively little trading activity. Its price was therefore influenced not only by the performance of the underlying strategy, but also by liquidity conditions, demand, and broader participation in the ecosystem.
Building the Strategy
Episode 7 represented another step in documenting the Terramatris strategy in real time.
The objective was not simply to pursue rapid gains, but to build a repeatable system based on:
- disciplined options selling;
- active position management;
- reinvestment of collected premium;
- long-term portfolio growth; and
- transparent performance reporting.
The 25.26% weekly increase was encouraging, but risk management remained essential. Options income can improve returns, although it also introduces assignment risk, market exposure, and the possibility of losses when positions move sharply against the strategy.
Bottom Line
As of October 5, 2023, the Terramatris fund was valued at $80.43, following a 25.26% weekly gain.
The strategy generated $16.22 in options income, while the TerraM token remained stable at $0.86.
The week highlighted the potential of combining directional exposure with options income, while also reinforcing the importance of managing risk and evaluating performance over a longer period rather than focusing on a single strong week.
