VxxGamePlan

Since this volatility event looks to be going to hang around for a bit (not just a 1 or 2 day thing), I’m not to worried about missing opportunities. Put money to work on Friday and Monday. I didn’t do anything yesterday, and don’t plan to do anything today. I’m planning to wait until Friday morning. I have a lot of contracts set to expire this week, and on Friday morning I’ll have a pretty good idea of where I will be at, will I need to roll anything, etc… Then I will look to open more new positions. Still have a lot of dry powder, just not in a hurry to put it to all to work. Seems likely that we’ll get more chances. I sort of like that the market is choppy vs just going straight down, feels more like a pull back than a deep correction as there is buying coming into the market.

SPY bought a call at…

SPY
bought a call at the end of the day for 1.26, set a stop at 1.00 in case of a downdraft, stop was hit, I’m out and missing the bounce grrrr

NFLX strangle

Low margin and good liquidity. This is another one I’d like to have a position in all the time for the theta. Figure a good place to start is at the expected move for October.

Sold NFLX OCT 21 2016 85.0/110.0 Strangles @ 3.30

Sold to open $SPX Oct 14th 2220/2245 call spreads for 1.60, with SPX at 2128.
