#OptionsExpiration #ShortStrangles #ContangoETFs #SPXcampaign
— Expiring w/Max Profit —
DUST 84 call
REGN 350/405 strangle

SPX long call spread, 2300/2325, bought for 1.45. Didn’t get the bull run I was expecting. But the flat market is perfect for the #SPXcampaign
#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Jan13 – not…
#OptionsExpiration #Weeklys #Jan13 – not an ideal expiration cycle, with SVXY too high and DUST and UVXY too low during the week. Still, mostly profitable.

STO UVXY Feb 3rd 40 calls for 1.45
STO UVXY Jan 20th 37 calls for .39
Okay, now I’m somebody.

WYNN roll
#CoveredCalls – Gradually working these up hoping they will eventually expire before earnings so I can then sell some nice juicy ones. 2 more rolls after this one for Feb 9th earnings…
Rolled this week’s 89.5 calls to next week’s 90’s @ .34 credit
SMM TGO decisions
Took the SMM one month free trial and now in my second month. When did it become such a day trading forum? Not getting much out of it so probably bailing out after this month…
Top Gun Options is kinda pricey and I think I’ve seen all of Whiz’s types of trades. Sort of the same stuff over and over. He makes good money but I think by watching his freebie update each day I can pick up on what he’s doing. I’ll bail on it also or possibly cut back to just a partial subscription with just one of his portfolios.
REGN trimming some risk
#ShortPuts #IRA – I’m feeling a little heavy in this ticker so taking one off that wasn’t looking too good just a couple days ago.

All tiny starter positions in the #IRA. Hoping for a chance to add on some spikes…
