Bringing the oddball last rung of my ladder in and adding it to my upside hedge crew. Shortens the ladder to 4 days but really helps with upside risk. As long as these are stuck in the money all is good since I’m keeping them at the same strike or higher as my LEAPs.

#FuzzyLEAPS Wonderful to be back ATM again, but the old frustrations wasted no time in cropping up: whether to wait when selling. Opened the day below both strikes but the blow out rally quickly got us above both strikes. This led to the age-old error of selling the high strike too early and the low strike too late.
Rolled $XSP Aug 4th 770 puts to Aug 5th 770 puts, .50 credit (now around 1.15)
Missed .90+ on the 765 puts, now going for under .50. Gonna see if any pullback comes.
SPX
Been walking this up all day. Got filled slightly better than normal. Last roll the mid was way too high so I ignored it and got a normal fill. This time the mid was way too low. Just have to ignore all that and plan on a fill anywhere from 25 to 28 debit.
Rolled Dec 2030 7600 to 7700 @ 26.50 debit.

Selling put spreads against my call spread hedges setting up iron flies. Got a shot at pinning but also reducing max loss on the positions. They’ve served me well on my short puts. 🙂 🙂

This might be more fun and effective. Selling two aggressively for upside help. Bringing the monthly into a daily sale.

Sold SPX Aug 4 2026 7625.0 Put @ 34.00
SPX
I currently have one short put that’s at the same strike as my long LEAPs and I roll it out a month at a time just to help with upside risk. As long as I have to keep rolling it the market is “capped” and everything else is free money since LEAPs aren’t needing rolled up. Adding another position but selling against it aggressively every day. I’ll call it the “floating cap” to really help with upside risk. The delta on it will be much higher than the longer term cap.
I’m sure there will come a time where I have to roll it more than a day but will try to keep it as close in time as possible.
Long story short: The goal is to have upside help so I can sell the big part of my positions slightly more conservatively day to day.
Great fill on the LEAP today BTW.

#FuzzyLEAPs Well, it is becoming my curse that when we have sharp down moves, I miss them, and when I try to move strikes down I get stuck in a sharp up move. In a Downside Warning it’s much easier to catch down moves but at this time it’s way more difficult. My accounts have not gone up meaningfully in months. I don’t know if this strategy is tenable in the long run for XSP, as it’s too difficult to roll strikes downward during a correction.
I caught the swings easily for one trade, but because I was holding out for lowering my strike on the second, I got screwed and moved to a higher strike instead. Skipped to Monday as I cannot trade tomorrow.
