On Fri May 5 2023 at 8:30 we get the April non-farm payroll report. These monthly reports often result in an increase in volatility and wider swings in the markets.

The goal for this trade is a return of at least 100% depending on whether the S&P climbs or falls. The trade is designed to profit no matter which direction the S&P moves.

This trade was only slightly more expensive than the prior month’s trade and still has the same goal of 100% return.

At some point there will be losses in this strategy. Remember if you have never traded this type of strategy, paper trade until results are consistently profitable.

The monthly payroll numbers have been among the most tumultuous of events on a consistent basis, which for the past 17 years has driven this portfolio to exceptional gains annually.
