Been quietly grinding this account plus 1 more for a month or so. Think it’s time for a payout @Topstep @dotjosh @MichaelPatak
Closed this for 47% gain.
Sold the $WMT Aug 28 102/108 put credit spread for $1.18. Yes, I know earnings are on Aug 20th.

Airlines carry cabin crew as fixed cost and then fly half-empty shoulder seasons paying for it.
We’ll contract flight attendants out.

Built for how I actually trade. Single long legs, 0DTE to 3DTE, SPY and QQQ.
