TWLO PMCC
BTC TWLO 16sep16 65 call @0.10 (STO for 0.84 last week), STO TWLO 23sep16 62.5 call @0.90. Sold this against my TWLO 20jan17 55 call.
SPY BeCS
Bought to Close SPY NOV 18 2016 226.0/230.0 Bear call spreads @ .38 (sold for .60)
Just missed getting filled on the put side on Friday. Since that didn’t happen I’m taking off the call side for a decent profit.
Closing Sept VIX calls
Since these long calls expire next week, I’m dumping now with small profit rather than watch them drain to nothing. I’ve started an October VIX position at the same strike, so I will add to that as price drops.
STC $VIX Sept 20th 14 calls for 2.00. Bought for 1.75 (avg price) over the last month.
SVXY
STO January 40 puts @2.60 I my IRA account.
NVAX diagonal spread (PMCC)
BTO NVAX Jan20’17 7 call @3.00, STO NVAX Oct21’16 9 call @1.69. Earnings on Nov 8.
SPX roll sold
#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX Oct 5th 2215/2240 call spreads for 1.70. This is a #ReverseRoll from the Sept 23rd 2050/2025 put spreads stopped on Friday for 2.55. I used extra contracts to give me a credit on the roll.
If this morning was the bottom, I still believe it will be unlikely to get up above 2200 by early October.

TDA trouble?
Anyone else having trouble with TDA today? Able to log in but it won’t show my balances. Dough platform loads, and actually able to trade, but can’t see my portfolio and balances and get error messages. Went on TDA itself and the same thing happening. Could see my transactions, but not my balances and positions. What’s up?

#Market Looks like future are…
Looks like future are steadily improving and not going to see a gap lower at the open. $UVXY looking like it is now flat to Friday’s close even though $VIX is higher (19 at this moment, but dropping from 20.5) . Will be looking to open a number of #VXXGame trades at the open since I didn’t put on any trades late in the day on Friday sort of expecting more downside follow through today. I put in a bunch of orders, we’ll see how many actually get filled.
