Week 3 Scorecard · +5.5% · Oct 26–30, 2026
Week 3: +5.5% vs the 15% goal. Every #1 pick, wins and losses.
A green week in a red market. The account rose 5.5% while the S&P 500 fell 0.6%. The big winner was a Tesla call that hit its +100% target on Monday morning and closed at +159.6%. United Rentals reached its first target and we sold half for a 10.2% gain, with the rest still riding.
The losses were real too. Monday's opening gap blew through the stops on two calls: Circle (CRCL) at −78% and Apple (AAPL) at −73%. Both were recorded at the actual price, not the stop price. Honeywell shares hit their stop for −3.5%. Short-dated calls can lose most of their value in one gap, and this week showed it. We hit 37% of the 15% weekly goal.
