Filled on a July 15th 30 Put, sold to open @ .90 after market.
#OptionsExpiration Nail-biter of a close with short 2040’s, will sell a roll next week. With more VIX Indicator signals firing today, further drops in the market are very likely.

Wow…didn’t know I could hold my breath for an hour! Probably shouldn’t have and should have rolled those SPX 2040’s.
Looks like 2040 was breached and will have to take my lumps. Anyway, won’t have to worry about next week since I didn’t roll them. Will be able to sleep no matter what is in store next week.

Closed out my (2) $SVXY $52 puts @ $7.00 to avoid assignment. Since market didn’t bounce today, looks like probably more to come on Monday so chose to wait and roll them on monday. #OptionsExpiration

I’ve been burned by this thing on huge Friday afternoon moves before so booking these just in case. A few weeks ago had a chance to close puts for a nickel but waited. They ended up in the money and trading for over 2 bucks a few hours later. Not this time!

Had a meeting with my Boss right as the market opened so didn’t always get great fills. I’m planning to be done for the day unless there is some ugliness at the close that provides some opportunities. Sold all of these this morning. Premiums really didn’t jump as high as I was expecting and dropped off pretty quick.

Whew, just got into this today. What a day for my work to be intense and no time to really look at things. Took off any stops before the open. Closed two call spreads today at great profits and freed up margin and buying power.
Also, closed the put side of our IB for today and got out for 9.50 instead of the full 10.00 that would have happened at expiration later today.

Rolled 105 call to next week 115 for even when mid price was 1.00 debit…
🙂 🙂
If you have no put spreads expiring today, the 2025/2000 is still going for over 2.00. If you believe we won’t be dropping 90 points today, sell it!
Seems to be down
As I suspected, we will be opening well off the overnight lows, and right on the edge of my $SPX 2040/2015 put spreads. 2025/2000 spreads look to be in better shape. I removed all close orders for call spreads last night, otherwise they likely would have all closed in pre-market. I wanted to keep them open to offset margin stress on put spreads, and also to save money as many will now likely expire worthless. I will look to sell some deeper put spreads this morning. And some UVXY calls.
SPX IBF closed in pre-market for LESS than max loss
#IronButterfly For my $SPX 2085/2100/2115 iron butterfly, I knew overnight volatility would create some wild swings, so i put in an order to close the 2100/2085 put spread for 14.00 and it filled at 3:38am ET. That’s a dollar less than I would have loss with cash settlement, so mission accomplished; $100 loss rather than $200. I recommend trying something like this for the market open when prices will be going wild.
my covered call expiring today looks good: Jun 24 $100 C sold $5 stock basis $108. I didn’t capture most of this outcome but I entered a week ago expecting to be called out last Friday. All in all a profitable outcome.
how do we manage the trade, SPX iron b’fly? Needs some advice from anyone.
