Collected $8, Closed at $0.50 – That’s a 93.75% Holiday Win
Ahoy there, Trader! ⚓️
It’s Phil…
Righty then folks, this one’s deliciously simple.
I touched down in sunny Costa Blanca last Sunday with one goal: chillax. Now I didn’t intend to trade – just keep half an eye on the markets to ensure nothing went pear-shaped (unless there were rum cherries and a pineapple involved, of course).
There are trades you grind for – and trades that just drip theta while you nap.

So here’s what went down while I was horizontal:
On arrival, one of my existing swing trades closed profitably, and with the bullish bias intact, I made a no-fuss decision to reload the swing. Then, another closed Tuesday – also profitably – both for 98%+ return, and neither needed more than a single glance from me.
The final trade? Collected $8 in premium, bought it back for $0.50, banking a no-stress $7.50 win or 93.75% return. The kicker? I barely managed it. Just let it do its thing over the week.
Total?
✅ 3 trades
✅ 3 wins
✅ 0 stress
✅ 1 crispy tan
This wasn’t luck. It was system simplicity meeting market structure. Theta did the work – I just showed up with a plan.

Common Trading Mistake: Overtrading while on holiday or during low focus periods
How to Avoid It:
Set and forget using pre-structured swing setups and definitive trigger rules. Don’t chase trades while distracted. Let the structure do the lifting.
Rumour Has It…
Local Spanish bartender now offers a drink called “The AntiVestor” – ingredients unknown, but it’s said to work best if you don’t touch it for five days and check the balance later.
This is entirely made-up satire. Probably!
