Video summary

The speaker begins by sharing their trade results for August 2026, noting that despite a challenging start where the portfolio began in the red during the first week, they managed to slowly climb back up to barely achieve a green month. However, the overall performance was not sufficient to cover bills, marking it as a tough period. The transcript includes a standard risk disclosure stating that the creator is not a financial adviser and that option trading involves significant risks. The monthly results were heavily influenced by specific strategies, particularly zero DTE trades involving British Iron Condors, directional day trading, and various options selling positions across different assets like Time Fly, Transformers, DC Time Machines, and Mahomes. The first week was particularly difficult, characterized as a "red week" where the speaker took a substantial loss on time fly options selling, resulting in a net negative of roughly 5,100 when combined with losses from directional day trading and other positions. In contrast, the second week showed significant improvement, with British Iron Condors generating a profit of 10,000 despite one minor losing day, while options selling yielded mixed but generally positive results across different asset classes. The third week continued this upward trend with strong performance from British Iron Condors which added nearly 9,000 to the portfolio, alongside profits from an OPEX calendar spread, although there were still small losses in specific transformer trades that kept the momentum from being perfectly linear. The final stretch of the month saw some volatility, with the fourth week turning slightly red due to losses on Mahomes and DC Time Machines, though directional day trading managed to add 1,800. The very last day of August ended with a small loss of 2,800, which contributed to the overall struggle for the month. Looking ahead, the speaker plans to launch a new class next month focused on hedging iron condors and intends to discuss a new transformer spread strategy they have been developing. They conclude by hoping that September will be more successful than August and invite viewers to join them next month as they aim to return to profitability.

Uh, investing in option trading involves risk. Pre, please read the full disclosure on our website. Uh, all right. So, similar to July, um, started off in a hole. You can see just by the visual kind of the first week was a little rough and then I just kind of kept climbing, climbing, climbing and barely got out. Literally just eaked out a uh a green month. So not enough to pay the bills really. Uh so it's kind of a tough month, but let's go through these. I'll go through it uh each week at a time here. Starting with week one, the red week. Uh on zero DTE, that's made up of my British iron condors. Uh so you can see um a basically a scratch minus 251 the first week on those directional day trading minus 2400. Option selling I took a a bigger loss than I like to on a time fly. So one winner one loser but the loser was big. So - 5100 on that on those two. Uh and then transformers made up of 2100 on a 1D one on 1DTE minus 2300 on DC time machines and - 4640 on Momes. So that was week one. Week two was better. Uh British Iron Condors all green except for one little scratch red day. So plus 10K on those that week. Uh options selling one time fly for 1150. uh transformers that was made up of 840 on a couple 1DTE, 255 on a couple Mahomes, and minus 280 on three different DC time machines. Just a two small winners and a loser. Uh and then directional day trades, pretty flat that week. Uh week three, another good week. Uh British Iron Condors performed really well. All green plus 8,800 on those. uh had a uh OPEX calendar that was good for 5,144. Transformers a little bit red mome small green one DTE small green DC time machine uh just one trade for minus 1100. So that's week three. Week four, a little bit red. Uh directional day trading plus 1,800 option selling that was good for uh one time fly. Uh transformers, a little bit red one DTE green trade, a bullish VRR. Uh couple another couple little trades on DC Time Machines, small red and Mahomes, small red. And then today, last day of the month, um just one uh DC time machine closed for small profit, small scratch on directional day trades, and then the zero DTE, small green on British Iron Condor, and then my last day of the month, Rick minus 2,800. So, uh kind of a tough month, but is what it is. Um, I will be doing a new class uh next month on the hedge to iron condor. So, I will be reporting on that. Also got another transformer spread that I'm that I've been working on uh that I'll start talking about as well. So, that is my August. Hope everybody else had a better August than I. I guess green is better than red, but uh would like to see better. So, let's see if September can uh can pull it around and get back on the uh on the on the good side. All right, all that's it for now. Take care. Talk to you next month.
