#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Sep30 – If the market had stayed weak for one more day it would have been more profitable, but the $DB news panic only lasted 24 hours. The VIX collapsed on Friday (again).
No assignments this week as I rolled the few #ITM positions up and out.

#OptionsExpiration
GS
My only expiration is the 167.5 covered call. Have a nice weekend to everyone. I am off to the gym.
Closing CMG
Taking these positions off at a profit, reducing some downside risk.
Bought to close $CMG Oct 14 385 put @ .50. Sold for 3.00 on 9/15.
Bought to close $CMG Nov 18 350 put @ 2.29 Sold for 5.30 on 9/20.

$SVXY #ShortCalls #Rollup – Extended my holding period on the stock a week to get two more points on the assignment.
Bought to Close SVXY Sep 30 2016 72.0 Calls / Sold SVXY Oct 7 2016 74.0 Calls @ 0.25 Credit
Originally sold the Sep 30 72 Calls @ 6.69 and covered them at 2.00
/ES Eminis keeping the hedge on
Replacing the one expiring today…selling against short Dec futures.
SOLD /ES OCT 16 (Wk1) 2165 PUT @ 12.00
$TWLO
Sold Oct21st 55 Put @ 1.30. Set a day prder and went off to get things done. Filled when TWLO was at 65.51 this is just a single contract spec trade. Assignment would give me a basis near the 50dma.
$SVXY #ShortCalls #Rollup – tough…
$SVXY #ShortCalls #Rollup – tough to catch a break on a Friday with SVXY. It always seems to rally.
At least the calls I bought back were at nice gains. And more cash was added to the account.
Bought to Close SVXY Sep 30 2016 69.0 Calls / Sold SVXY Nov 4 2016 75.0 Calls @ 0.20 Credit
Bought to Close SVXY Sep 30 2016 68.0 Calls / Sold SVXY Nov 11 2016 75.0 Calls @ 0.28 Credit

#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX Oct 7th 2190/2215 call spreads for 3.50. Expire next Friday (or will be rolled if rally continues).
GS roll
Had this week’s 162.5 calls that were an aggressive roll down for a total of 1.85 credit for the week. Rolling them out and up to next week’s 165’s @ .50 credit. Short term sales against a long term 2018 position…
Should’ve closed those 162.5’s for 4 cents earlier this morning…grrr. Got greedy and cost myself at least 30 cents trying to make 4 cents.
COST
should have listened, bought a 2 point put spread, small loss
NUGT…again
Rolled 18.5 short calls out another week for .75 credit. Still inverted against monthly 26 puts and still selling at a 3 call per 2 put ratio. I hope NUGT stays right here forever!
$UVXY
STO Oct 21 $30 calls @ $0.54
STO Oct 14 $26 calls @ $0.40
SPX overnighter closed
Buy to Close $SPX Sep 30 2130/2125 put spread @ .10. STO @ .25 yesterday. Short strike now above 8 ema as support but pressure from Deutsche bank, US banks plus pharma no guarantee of worthless expiration …taking risk off when I can, not when I have to! Did cover commission plus an hour at a parking meter.
GS
STO October 7, 165 call @0.32, these are off set by my long position of the 2018 130 calls.
SPX call spread sold
#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX Oct 19th 2210/2235 call spreads for 2.10. Doing the #ReverseRoll of put spreads stopped yesterday. Unless and until yesterday’s VIX Indicator signal is canceled I am fading the rallies.
$SVXY #ShortCalls – my first…
$SVXY #ShortCalls – my first roll today. After yesterday’s plunge I was hoping for a better fill. Still it does increase the strike price 2 points and put a little more cash in the account.
