The Parker Strategy LetterWeekly Trade Recap | July 6 to July 10, 2026
Three trades, three wins. A short-dated put on a AI-adjacent satellite name captured full premium same day, and two mid-week positions closed early with the majority of premium already in hand. One position carries into next week. Here is how it played out.
Leveraged ETF put sold at the start of the week. METU held above the strike through midweek chop, and the position was closed early once the bulk of the premium had decayed out.
Closed early at 93% capture | $213.90 net | Win
Mid-week put on an optical components name. AAOI stayed comfortably above the strike, and with the vast majority of premium already decayed, the position was closed out ahead of expiration.
Closed early at 97% capture | $489.85 net | Win
Same-day expiration put on a satellite connectivity name trading near its recent IPO price. ASTS held above the strike into the close and full premium collected.
Full premium collected | $488 retained | Win
A weekly-expiration put on the semiconductor ETF, sold to carry through the following week. The position remains open with premium already collected and no action needed unless the strike is challenged.
Still working | $1,060 premium at risk | Update next week
Discipline and Consistency
What Repeatable Income Looks Like Over TimeThree trades, three wins, roughly 1% of deployed capital captured on the week. Small, repeatable numbers like this are the whole point of the strategy. Here is what that same weekly return looks like stretched across a full year. Illustrative Example | Based on a 1% Weekly Return on Deployed Capital
52.0% Annualized (Straight-Line)
A 1% weekly return multiplied across 52 weeks. 67.8% Annualized With Reinvestment (Compounded)
The same weekly return, reinvested every week. Hypothetical example for illustration only. Actual weekly performance will vary and is not guaranteed.
Weekly Summary
Three trades, three wins, no exceptions to the process. SOXX carries into next week with premium already banked. We will close out the full picture once it settles.
