This post marks the official conclusion of the QQQ Weekly Trades strategy that I’ve been running for the past six months.

Last week, both options expired out of the money, and the final trade closed with 100% profit.

With that, I’m closing this strategy and sharing the full results and takeaways.

Strategy Origin

This strategy was inspired by the SMB Capital video:

In that video, Seth Freudberg, Director of the SMB Options Training Program, explains in detail:

• the base weekly Put Credit Spread approach,

• and the defensive phase using a Poor Man’s Covered Call when things go wrong.

Key Lessons Learned

1. Discipline actually works

When the rules are followed strictly — without improvisation or “optimization” — a probability-driven strategy does exactly what it’s supposed to do.

25 weeks → +$11,597 from a very simple structure.

2. This is a $25,000 capital strategy

This part is often underestimated.

In every single trade, you are:

• tying up ~$25,000, and

• truly risking that capital

Yes, the risk is theoretical.
Yes, the probability is low.
But the risk exists.

Why I’m Stopping

Over these six months, I’ve received the same question repeatedly:

“What will you do if QQQ crashes?”

While:

• SMB Capital clearly outlines management rules,

• and provides a framework for transitioning into a Poor Man’s Covered Call,

I never found a fully satisfying answer for myself.

The reality is simple:

• QQQ trends higher about 85% of the time — that’s a fact.

• But the remaining percentage includes:

  • panic days,

  • sharp selloffs,

  • and sudden Friday moves.

And one bad Friday:

• can wipe out all accumulated profits,

• or, in a worst-case scenario, the entire account.

There is no insurance.

On top of that — being honest — I got tired.
This strategy was traded on a paper account at IBKR, unlike my 10-delta strategies, which I trade with real capital.

What’s Next

🔹 I’m not leaving vertical spreads

I continue to actively trade:

• 10-delta Spreads, and

• other related options structures.

Since October 2025, all live trades are tracked on Collective2:
👉 https://collective2.com/details/153146907

🔹 Focus on a second vertical spread strategy

I’m also developing a second strategy within vertical spreads.
A textbook example is this trade:

Bear Call Spread – JNJ (Dec 15, 2025)
This approach:

• requires less capital per trade,

• while offering comparable expected returns,

• and may become a core strategy alongside — or even instead of — the 10-delta approach.

Everything going forward is about focus and clarity.

Final Notes

Thanks to everyone who:

• followed the QQQ Weekly Trades,

• asked thoughtful questions,

• and shared feedback along the way.

Week 25 was the final one.
This strategy is officially closed.

From here on, I’ll focus exclusively on strategies I’m willing to trade with real capital and full responsibility.

👉 View on OptionStrat

Why This Trade Works

As long as QQQ stays above the 598 short strike by expiration, the spread will expire worthless — and I keep the full $532 premium.

If QQQ trades below 598 during the week, I’ll monitor closely and manage accordingly — with a possible early exit or transition into the recovery phase (LEAPS + covered calls).

Management Plan

Above 598? → Do nothing. Let it expire.

Approaching or below 598? → Close and initiate fallback plan.

🚫 Week #17: No Trade This Week

For the first time since launching this strategy in mid-July, I’m skipping a weekly QQQ Bull Put Spread.

Why?

Friday’s expiration wasn’t clean. QQQ dropped sharply during the session — at one point, the unrealized loss exceeded $2,000. The spread ultimately expired out of the money, but the intraday pressure was a reminder that even high-probability setups carry risk when volatility spikes.

I screened for spreads that would deliver the usual ~$0.50–$0.55 credit per contract at a safe distance below current price. None met the criteria.

The premiums either required strikes too close to current levels, or the distance didn’t justify the reward. Given the technical backdrop — including Thursday’s sharp selloff and Friday’s volatility — there’s a reasonable chance QQQ continues lower into next week.

I could force a trade. But forcing trades breaks discipline.

So I’m choosing to wait.

The core principle of this strategy is mechanical repetition with consistent parameters — not chasing setups that don’t meet the standard. Skipping one week doesn’t break the rhythm. It protects the system.

🔁 What’s Next

Week #18 (Nov 15–Nov 22) will resume the normal Friday-to-Friday cycle, assuming a clean setup returns.

The 16-0 record stays intact. The strategy continues. Just with one intentional pause.

Why This Trade Works

As long as QQQ stays above the 602 short strike by expiration, the spread will expire worthless — and I keep the full $520 premium.

If QQQ trades below 602 during the week, I’ll monitor closely and manage accordingly — with a possible early exit or transition into the recovery phase (LEAPS + covered calls).

Management Plan

Above 602? → Do nothing. Let it expire.

Approaching or below 602? → Close and initiate fallback plan.
