September is a seasonally down month and the US stock market had a sharp dip during this period. However, it turns out to be one of the most profitable months for this trading year.
May is the only month that is slightly more profitable than September.
So, what are the trades that went well?
On 9 Sep 26, I made about USD1.95k and the main bulk comes from the profits arising from the success options trade (SELL PUT) on AMD:
[9 Sep 26] +USD1.95k Profits, Sold SNDK, Micron & Close AMD PUT
On 24 Sep, I took small profits on some shares I own, to release more capital and to reduce my holdings as I switch to my new strategy of DCA into the tech index CNDX and selling PUT as my main options strategy:
[24 Sep] +USD120 Profits, Sold BLSH, AMD, QQQ
On 30 Sep, I made a profit of USD1.94k by closing my successful SELL CALL trade on Robinhood as well clearing my Palantir position (shares + options)
[30 Sep 26] +USD1,942 Profits, Closed Palantir & Robinhood SELL CALL, Sold PLTR Shares & Open New CSP on SPCX
Concluding Thoughts
Since the restart back to trading in April 25, I had made more than S$50k, using an average of S$100k capital and I am happy with the return so far.
I have also reduced my net loss in my investment portfolio to less than S$200k, after losing $1M in trading / investing previously:

I will continue to refine my investing/ trading strategies and hopefully be able to breakeven on my overall losses.
