Pro Membership
Our Pro Membership is currently closed to new members, but we do have a waiting list. If you’re interested in following along with all of our trade alerts, you can join our wait list by going to navigationtrading.com/pro-member. We are actually letting a couple of people in per week, but we’re trying to control that influx of new members so we can focus on our current Pro Members.
Performance Page
Let’s jump on over to our Performance Page. So far, year to date in 2019, we have 41 closed trades, an average profit per trade of $116, with a winning percentage over 80%.
If you scroll down our Performance Page, we break down each month giving you the date that the trade was closed, the symbol, the number of contracts and the strategy traded, along with the profit made that month. These performance stats go all the way back to June of 2017, when we first started posting trades. You can see from our stats, we’ve done well and continue to do well.

In-Depth Look at Our Trades from April
Our first trade was a Short Strangle in Disney. We were in and out of this trade with no adjustments. It was a pretty quick trade for a profit of $186.
Our next trade was in EWZ, which was also a Short Strangle. Again, we were in and out pretty quickly for a profit of $144.
In /6B, which is the British Pound, we did have to make one adjustment, but by staying mechanical, we booked a nice profit of $543.75.
In WBA, we did an Iron Butterfly for a profit of $144.
Then, we went back to /6B, the British Pound, and we’re only in this trade for two days. We booked a quick profit of $331.25.
In J.P. Morgan, we did a Pre-Earnings Long Call. We got to the point where we had to get out of the trade, because we didn’t want to hold this through earnings. We were able to scratch out a little bit of a profit, making $20 on the trade.
In Johnson and Johnson, we did a Pre-Earnings Long Straddle and never got to the point of being able to get profits on this one. We ended up taking a loss of $207.
In Netflix, we did a Pre-Earnings Long Strangle. It was pretty much the same situation as JNJ. This one just never moved. Implied volatility actually declined going into earnings, which is not normal. So we ended up taking a loss of $767 on the trade.
And in /ZN, we did another Short Strangle. We had to do several adjustments, but by staying mechanical, we were able to book a nice profit of $484.38.
Lastly, in Wells Fargo, we did an Iron Condor and booked a profit of $268.
And that wraps up our closed trades for the month of April.
