Market Recap
Markets were weak and sold off most of the week, but rallied strongly on Friday into the close. It was a blend of fundamental/technical weakness and some news driven moves (tariffs). Not to be overlooked was the strength in Treasuries and the weakness is Gold.
The much anticipated earnings on NVDA proved to be a dud and a win for premium sellers

Our Overall Performance - Big Picture
Our Performance this Week
There were no trades that were closed for the week but we did open some positions Friday for next week's expiration. After the lull in volume for most of February that finally broke upwards on the 21st, there has been a definitive shift in the overall volatility (realized) regime. This should start to reflect in more trades in the coming weeks.

The Week Ahead/Outlook
New month as we start March trading on Monday. As mentioned above, it appears we have had a clear shift in market behavior and regardless of how one feels about the current administration and their actions, it generally bodes well for long volatility strategies. While I do expect far more trades in March versus February, it really only takes 1-2 solid trades a week to put up some good numbers for the month. If our data indicates to take more trades, we will. However, the goal is to produce profits in the most efficient manner possible, whether that being through more trades or fewer but with high R:R on a per trade basis.
