$SVXY #ShortPuts #VXXGame – Sold SVXY Oct 21 2016 40.0 Puts @ 0.20 with the stock at 67.83
SPX put roll closed
#SPXcampaign Bought to close $SPX Oct 14th 2100/2075 put spreads for 3.35. Sold for 2.10 last Thursday. This one hit my 4.00 stop on Monday and again today, and you don’t have to tell me twice… okay, maybe you do, but you don’t have to tell me three times to get out when stops are hit.
Closing some NUGT calls
Took profit on these at almost minimum value, reducing some short call exposure.
Bought to close $NUGT Oct 14 (weekly) 35 calls @ .05. Sold for 1.20 on 9/6.
IBB…whew!
Happy I closed those Dec short puts a few days ago. Triple top sure held…looking to reload if we can beat this thing down to the 200ma.
SPX condor corrupted
#SPXcampaign Bought to close Sept 30th 2050/2030 put spreads for 4.30. Sold a couple hours ago with a call spread for 1.50. Quick loss, but that’s the risk of these short-term trades. Will look to roll.
VIX call spreads
Just for something a little different…
Sold VIX NOV 16 2016 20.0/25.0 Bear call spreads @ .70

NKE
Closed the NKE earnings trade many of us took, lost 43.27, could have been out for a profit yesterday morning but the G-word got the best of me. Have had much worse earnings trade-see LULU, looks like I’ll own that for a while.
SPX recovery mode
After the sure thing iron condor for expiration tomorrow, that is no longer a sure thing. Bought back the put spread at a loss, but thinking this could get worse. Sold another call spread for expiration tomorrow. Sold 2175/2180 for 0.50. Also sold next Friday, Oct 7 2195/2205 for 0.90.
Thought about another put spread, but a bit nervous with the downside now.

Downside Signal Fired
#Market #VIXIndicator Things suddenly look dark… DB and all banks continue dropping. After last Thursday’s Downside Warning cancelation, we have a new signal this Thursday. It takes two signals for a Warning. Next level today is 16.53.
I’m looking to exit the put side of the condor I entered earlier… immediate loss on that one!

Sold to open, November 18, 50 puts @1.50

CMG adjustment
Made money all the way down on the inverted roll now stepping it back up a little at a time for even…
Rolled CMG Sep 30th 415.0 call out and up to Oct 14th 422.5 call @ even.
Still inverted against a monthly 435.0 put. Inverted by 12.50 but premium received so far of 23.85. I’ll get one more chance to roll it into the same week as the put then earnings are the week after that. Plenty of time and opportunity for very profitable rolling on a low margin low risk position.
