USD/CAD spiked to 1.4795 now back to 1.4320 due to a pause of tariffs. For 2025 it’s ranged from 1.43 to 1.45 with the exception of the spike Sunday night. Twice in the last decade I’ve seen it spike to 1.46 excluding the other night. Once in 2016 and again in 2020, both times when oil was low. 1.46 is a solid ceiling for it. Don’t trade forex but have watched that currency pair and oil for a couple decades.

One of my best weeks. Off to a good start for this month. Key trade of the week: Feb 4 sell 1 PLTR 125 call March 7 contract 31 DTE. 2.5 .1121 commish. $238.79 NC. Stock trading at 104.68. If called away will be $12500 sale from a $1655 investment. My last 100 shares. Also a case of FOMO in that I had 700 shares at one point in the margin acct and sold them 18 months ago at a slight loss for house down payment.
Dumped one of the laggards for a loss and it felt liberating. Already put some of the proceeds to work. It was GOOS, ran out of patience for it to turn around. Avg price was 14, sold for 10. Have better use for the capital then waiting/hoping for rebound. The stock was break even for this year at least, now down to 9.60 the day after.
First 2 listens to EOG ST1 (3 min each) resulted in an emotional release each time that evening (morning loop).
Yesterday played 4 min. Was tired and had the most refreshing dream filled sleep. Held some resentment towards an ex sister in law that I’ve had trouble forgiving. Had a dream that we embraced with emphasis on heart to heart embracing and told her I loved her like a sister. Seems like the air is finally cleared between us.
A rather unconventional result from EOG ST1. Haven’t felt shitty regarding my money situation yet just other stuff coming up.

Key trade of the week TFSA: OKLO 30 call contract called away. Purchase price 1950.35 on Dec 18 2024. Sold for $2956.91 feb 11. Sold 2 $30 call contracts for 103.79 and 140.79. Profit on shares of 52%. Profit including contracts of 64%.
Have a 45 call expiring on Feb 21 on shares purchased for 26 and change. Currently around 52. Hoping it sells off next week so I can keep the shares. If it’s in the upper 40’s will try to roll it another month.
OKLO is a small nuclear reactor company and a board member just got confirmed as the secretary of energy. There was a lot of luck involved in a trade like this and I like to think intuition played a part.
Just ordered name embedded KB4 and Synergy:Energetic Transcendence in ZPQ. Should be here in time for next cycle starting Feb 25 and to integrate a bit prior to vakay beginning March 10.
Long term plan is to run a couple of customs. A wealth custom of ASBR/HOM and possibly a KB4/EmpD. Subject to change. Will test out the KB/S:ET name embed for awhile. Also want to work through the stages of EOG. Have tip toed into EOG ST1 this cycle. Don’t consider it a full cycle until I’ve done 12 loops, have 4 in so far, will end this cycle at 5. First 2 loops were rough, after that it’s been smoother.
Have swapped out ASBR for KB4 the past couple listening days. Felt the difference while doing magnetic QiGong.
Testing out new name embe KB4/Synergy:Energetic Transcendence today IMG_3223|828x882
So far my Qigong practice felt more intense. Ran it with LOTS and HOM for last day of cycle.

Going to change things up for next couple of cycles. With vacation coming up I don’t want to be in too heavy of recon from running EOG ST1 and ROW simultaneously. Vacay starts March 10. Today is last day of cycle. Going to do 3 day washout instead of 5 then 2 mini cycles.
Next mini cycle 6 listening days:
KB4 S:EnTr name embed
LOTS
EOGST1
Second mini cycle for vacay yet to be determined:
KB4 S:EnTr name embed
LOTS or WB
PR and or DivD
My best lifts this week have been
LB Squat 330x6
Bench press(board press using 2 2x4’s for less shoulder stress) 225x8.
Tempted to order a name embedded ASBR with Synergy:Tale of the dragon.
Also want to try Synergy:Primordial Aura with something. Maybe WB?
Should wait till payday to make another purchase. Should also go through the stages of EOG first. Other name embeds will most likely side track my run of EOG.
Been reading The Hypomanic Edge. Read 100 pages yesterday. The KB/S:EnTr seems to have unlocked enhanced focus.
This is the first draft of a finance custom.
ASBR core
HOM core
Synergy: divine dominion
Synergy: the golden one
Synergy: tale of the dragon
Synergy: Primordial Aura
Deep sleep

Finished reading The Hypomanic Edge in 2.5 days. Favourite chapters were about Alexander Hamilton and Andrew Carnegie.
Started the next book called The Hidden Power of the 5 Hearts. A book about heart/brain coherence. It’s a smaller book and may take longer to go through as there are exercises in it.
On deck is The Alabaster Girl and The Folly of Fools. Both are 300+ pages of compact writing.
I’m 30 min into a 3.5 hr video on AI by Karpathy. It’s both dry and interesting at the same time. Normally my default speed is 1.25x for YouTube. It’s a bit fast for this one.

New cycle started 2 days early post 3 day washout.
KB4-S:EnTr/LOTS 15 min each.
7 min EOG ST1
Workout LB Squat 335x6. Been a few years since I got that kind of weight/rep combo. Pushing for a 6 rep max. Will up it to 340 next week and go for 5. It’s a work week so will be more sleep deprived and may only get 3. Right around new years I did 315x10 with a lot of extra breaths between reps 5-10 and was sore for days. The following week I did 320x6. Been pushing for higher weights for 6’s since then. Usually I up it by 5 then go for 5. This week I decided to go straight to 6 after 330x6 last week. Todays last rep was quite the grinder.
In the middle of 10 days off. The holiday before the holiday. Work another 7 then off for 21, 14 of which will be in Mexico. Also they canceled night shift for next set so I get another 12 week break from them which is perfect

Listening day 2.
KB4-S:EnTr 10 min
LOTS/EOG ST1 7 min each.
I find I have a low tolerance for sugary foods with this stack. Too much crap and it’s instant diarrhea. Makes it easier to stick to clean eating. Normally I’m pretty disciplined with my diet during my work week as I prep food 4 days out. On my week off I tend to get into the ice cream and licorice, especially the pull n peel kind. The few times I’ve slipped up this days off I’ve paid the price.
Main motivation for adding LOTS this cycle is to get beach body ready in a couple weeks. Will see how this stack work by the weekend when I’m into my work week. Will probably cut back the loop length.

Margin: $421.40 from 3 option contract sales with total risk capital of $6500 from 28-49 days to expiration.
Month of February totals

It was a good month for cash flow. Was a volatile week and some of my positions took a hit so wasn’t a great month for total market value returns. Had a MARA 17 PUT exercised last week which was my margin cash flow. In other words I ended up with 100 shares of MARA for free basically, it’s currently just under 14. Confident it will rebound in the coming weeks.

Had a dream I was up at the site I applied at. Today I got a voicemail of them wanting to set up an interview. When I applied I gave myself a 5% chance of getting an interview.
The company I work at has a branch at this site. The site operator normally steals guys from our on site branch since they are already known to them. Even to transfer to our branch up there would be a 30%+ increase in pay and to work for the actual site operator is an additional 10-15% above that.
Of course there’s a trade off if I do get this job but I figure it’s worth is as I can set myself up very well financially if I were to put in 5 years up there.

Prior to my interview today ran micro loops of G:H&J and ASBR.
Interview went well. It’s exactly the kind of job I’m looking for and a considerable pay increase as well. I golf with some retirees and one of them is the father of the operations manager. Haven’t met his son but reached out to his dad to see if he would put in a word for me to the 2 field supervisor’s that were in on the interview.
Interview went well. They didn’t drill me with a bunch of difficult questions which I take as a good sign. They didn’t even ask why should we hire you but in closing I provided my answer anyways.
And just as I’m typing this the ops manager’s dad replied back saying I will forward it to my son. To which I replied Thank you good sir. I will buy you a round of golf next time we are paired up whether I get the job or not.

Key trade of the week. MSFT 385-375 BPS credit spread expiry mar 7. Made 100 bucks off it on jan 30. It was in trouble this week. If it were to have expired below 385 it would have been a loss. Below 375 max loss of $1000 or loss of -$900 including the 100 I made initially.
Set a limit order for it to close if MSFT hit 386. Just before it got there I changed it to 385.10. It hit 385.54 today. When it was at 386 it would have been 150 to close so a -$50 loss. Figured since the main indexes were right around the 200 day moving avg that there was a good chance of recovery by end of day. It paid off this time. In hindsight I should have closed it Wednesday for around 20 when I had the chance just so I wouldn’t have to worry about it. It gave me a couple of scares since then. Ended up closing it with 40 min to go for 20 cents so -$2.72 including commissions, made out ok this time.
The 200 day moving avg is a critical support level and I give it a 60/40 chance of rebounding next week. If not I have a couple other credit spreads that will have to be closed for a loss in the coming weeks. My portfolio total values are just below break even for the year. Still making cash but the stock positions are down and some of them are quite volatile and fluctuate quite a bit.
