This is a test. Thanks,…
This is a test. Thanks, Jeff.
SPX call spread close
#SPXcampaign one minute after the close: Bought to close $SPX Nov 13th 2110/2135 call spreads for .20. Sold for 1.20 on Oct 22nd. Was planning to let this expire Friday, but I hadn’t taken off my GTC order yet. It filled right after the bell, so now I can forget about it.
SPX Dec 11th put spread
#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX Dec 11th 1920/1895 put spreads for 1.25, with SPX at 2075. This is the second and final put spread I’m selling for Dec 11th expiry. I also sold a call spread yesterday, so I need one more call spread to complete the Dec 11th campaign.
KOLD call
#ContangoETFs Sold to Open $KOLD Nov 20th 136 call for 5.60.
I’m underwater on a handful of short calls in this one, so pressing it a bit here, but this strike is at its recent high, and this is juicy premium for only 8 days until expiration. Also selling puts against the calls, waiting for the eventual fall.
Test Post 1
Jeff, thanks for inviting me.
TDG earnings play
#Earnings Sold to Open $TDG Nov 20th 200 puts for 1.40. Never traded this before, but it is not much of a mover on earnings. Over last 12 quarters:
Biggest UP move: 4.2% Biggest DOWN move: -4.4% Average move: 2.3%
These expire NEXT week, and are 9.5% out-of-the-money. IV should drop by at least 10% tomorrow.
If selling naked options, be sure to use an appropriate position size for your account.
Closed TZA calls
#ContangoETFs Bought to close $TZA Nov 20th 50 calls for .12. Sold for 1.50 on Oct 21st.
NXPI covered call
#Earnings #CoveredCalls Sold to Open $NXPI Nov 20th 85 call for .95. This is against the stock I was assigned at 86 on an earnings trade.
SPX bottom picking
#SPXcampaign Working on selling my second put spread for Dec 11 expiry… trying to pick the bottom; now looking at 1910/1885 for at least 1.25
ZSL Dec calls
Sold the highest strike in December. $ZSL 155 calls @ 1.40.
SPX pre-market put spread close
#SPXcampaign In pre-market, bought to close Nov 19th 1925/1900 put spreads for .20. Sold for 1.25 on Oct 27th.
