Options Expiration 3/11/15

#OptionsExpiration What started out okay turned out to be a crappy end.

— Expiring with max profit —
NUGT 40, 48, and 50 puts
NUGT 70 calls

— Expiring with losses —
SPX 2015/2040 call spreads
SPX 2020/2045 call spreads
SPX 1650/1625 LONG put spreads… small position bought awhile ago…. hmmm, not quite.

SPX call spreads hammered

#SPXcampaign Two spreads I had thought would expire hammered me at day’s end. Allowing the 2015 and 2020 calls expire ITM and taking the loss based on settlement. It should be a more favorable price than trying to work the bid/ask spread (especially since IB does not charge for execution).

Will add to my list of rolls for next week.

RTN Trade; Amazing!

That was an amazing trade; bought the options at the high and sold them right at the lows of the day…A quick $200 loss. Now If I could learn to do it in reverse, everything will be fine….:-P

UVXY roll

#VXXGame #Rolling BTC UVXY April 1st 29 put for 3.85. Sold for 1.50 on Feb 25th.

BTO Apr 15 RTN 125 Calls at $2.19

SVXY covered call

#VXXGame

SPX roll calls

#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX April 8th 2050/2075 call spreads for 8.10. Yes, I am still fighting the cup trend… this is a roll from previously stopped call spreads. Stop will be 2030. Will try to exit when price of spread drops below 4.00.

MCD Open Interest

MCD OI on the Apr 22nd 116 Call is 24,898 the next higher OI is 82…go figure.

SPX puts closed

#SPXcampaign Bought to close $SPX March 17th 1880/1855 put spreads for .15. Sold last week for 1.01.

MCD Diagonal

MCD is on a squeeze and moving higher, so I added a Dia
BTO Apr 22 MCD 117 Call at $5.98 and STO Apr 1 MCD 123 Call at $1.10
As there are 41 to earnings the Apr 22nd has 42 DTE, so it should increase in IV while the Apr 1st won’t.

GOOGL BuPS

STO Apr 15 680/670 BuPS for 1.20.
Will look to complete iron condor if able and will also look to take profits early.
POP is at 84%
