NUGT I got called away…
NUGT I got called away on a naked $17 call last Friday in an IRA. So I have a day or so to buy to cover. Anything below $19.40 is profitable. Keeping my eye on the pullbacks today.
SVXY early this morning bought…
SVXY early this morning bought at 67.62 protection for a Sept 23 BeCS 65/85. We’ll see the reaction to the Fed. I expect a rally taking my stock.
If not I sold a Dec 70/105 BeCS for $3.60 that I can use the stock to cover.
SPX puts closed
#SPXcampaign Earlier, bought to close $SPX Sept 23rd 2040/2015 put spreads for .20. Sold for 1.40 on Aug 26th.
SRPT
Wow!
VXX bearish double vertical
Slow day but did get a fill this morning.
Sold to close Sep 23 41/42 BeCS and 38/37 BePS @ .51 (originally sold for .04 Friday)
Technically it was a “buy to open” and a “sell to close” except the buy side was done for a .04 credit. (total gain of .55)
NUGT
BTC NUGT Sep23’16 25 CALLS @ 0.15, sold for 1.20 on 9/2/16. These were covered, gonna sell calls again after the big announcement hits on Wednesday.
LULU I was assigned 100…
LULU
I was assigned 100 shares of LULU over the weekend, my cost basis is 68.87, sold an Oct 21, 70 call for .81 and bought some yoga pants that I think look pretty good on me.
Also, somebody exercised a Sept 23 109 SPY call I had so I’m short SPY-thanks a lot.
Credit Spread on HLF
STO Oct 21 HLF 59/54 BuPS at $0.86
HLF is on a weekly and Daily squeeze but it would need to close above the 50 SMA on the daily chart to really become bullish and explode. In the mean time I’ll get some time decay.
Stop at 58.999 in case I’m wrong.
Closed UVXY at 60% profit.
BTC Sep 30 UVXY 30 Calls at $0.40 sold it for $1.50 on Thursday.
SPX IC closed for profit
BTC Oct 7 2260/2250/2010/2000 IC for 0.55.
This was a preset, discipline trade at 60% max profit. Had opened this about 2 weeks ago.
Will continue to exercise discipline on these iron condors and set sell orders at 60% max profit. It is working.
SPX IC
STO Oct 28 2250/2240/1980/1970 IC for 1.35
SVXY
STO November 18, 45 puts @1.50, Scaling into some put positions.
SPX trades
#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX Oct 14 2220/2245 call spreads @ 1.45 – SPX @ 2152, completes SPX iron condor with 1940/1915 put spreads @ 1.35 opened on Sep 13.
Bought to Close $SPX Sept 19 2160/2165 call spreads @ .25, opened on Friday @ .35 , penetrated my 20 point comfort cushion.
SVXY
BTC September 23, 50 puts @0.05 cents. I cannot make much more on this one and it frees up a lot of margin plus, I don’t know what will happen on Wednesday.
SPX calls sold
#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX Oct 20th 2225/2250 call spreads for 1.55, with SPX at 2148.
