There is no doubt I made a mistake on Friday and Monday by using #ReverseRoll and #CondorRoll strategies with stopped put spreads. I expected the down move to be at last a few days, not only two, followed by a 100-point rally by Thursday. The #SPXcampaign rules say to roll further out in the same direction, with only some consideration given to reverse or condor rolls. Had I rolled everything into puts, I’d be golden now. As it is, all of my put spreads have been closed and I am very pressured on the call side. Now, at this ridiculously extended level, I have no choice but to sell puts or condors as my margin will not allow more call spreads of sufficient size. There is little sense to be made of this market; all you can do is “roll” with it.
