Bought to close $SPX March 6th 2315/2340 call spreads for 23.40. Sold for 21.40 last Tuesday.
Sold to Open $SPX March 3rd 2325/2350 put spreads for 2.50 about 40 minutes before bell.
Sold to Open $SPX March 13th 2325/2350 call spreads for 20.55 about 10 minutes after the bell.
Was able to move up 10 points again, but wasn’t able to time the swings, so I have a .20 debit on this roll. That’s fine, since I have had credits on all previous rolls on this trade. Also I sold the put spread for this Friday so it won’t be in the way if we start a multi-week decline.
Sold the following on the spike:
$DUST Apr 21 53 calls @ 1.38
$DUST Mar 31 41 calls @ 2.24
$DUST Mar 17 41 calls @ 1.20
STO September 50 puts @1.75
STO January 50 puts @ 3.40 in the IRA.
$GDX – what’s up with the GOLD Miners. The metal is within a few ticks of a 3 month high?
In an account that I manage.
STO January 60/250 strangle @9.90
STO January 55 puts @4.31 in same IRA. I am still waiting for the big correction.
STO June 55 puts @1.25 in my IRA> I am sitting on a lot of cash in that account.
STO June 60 puts @1.70 in my IRA.
$SVXY #ShortPuts Sold March 17th 110 Puts @ 1.66. when $SVXY was at 128.06. Where upon TOS promptly crashed. Must have shocked the system. I now see that I was a bit early.
$DUST #ShortPuts #ShortCalls – some slight adjustments in my DUST exposure with DUST over 30.

Sold DUST Mar 24 2017 41.0 Calls @ 0.90
Sold DUST Mar 31 2017 41.0 Calls @ 1.25

#earnings
AZO followed Jeff with an IC March 17 670/680/780/790 for 1.35
#earnings
LNG LNG barely moves, a couple 3% moves, everything else is minimal
Sold March 3 iron fly 47/49/49/50.5 for 1.24, risking 176. Profitable between 47.75 and 50.24.
$CVS #ShortPuts – Bought to close CVS Mar 10 2017 72.0 Puts @ 0.01. They won’t trade any lower.
Since this is an IRA account, this is a big cash release that can be used on other trades.
Originally sold at 0.69 in late January.
#SPXcampaign These trades in the first hour:
Bought to close $SPX Feb 27th 2375/2400 call spreads for .20. Sold as part of a #CondorRoll on Feb 15th for 2.85.
Sold to Open $SPX March 31st 2250/2225 put spreads for 1.35, when SPX was at 2363.
Clinging on to Feb 28th 2365/2390 call spread.. Hoping for expiry worthless or at least cheaply.
#Earnings The two high fliers on the same day… going for AZO March 17th 680/780 strangle, for around 4.00 (no fill yet).
PCLN not as sure… heavy margin required and this one can move a lot more than AZO. Ideas, anyone?
#earnings
WDAY-pretty good premium, pretty volatile after earnings, down 12% last December, up 18% a year ago, a minus 11, plus 7, all in the last 7 reports. No position-yet
$UVXY #ShortCalls Sold March 10th 30 Calls @ 0.35 when $UVXY was at 21.44 earlier this morning.
I rolled my diagonal march 3, call from 850 out to the March 17, 860 call for a pick up of 1.50 plus 10 points in the strike. These are against the long position of the 600 call in 2019.
STO June 55 calls @2.03
$UVXY #ShortCalls – Sold UVXY Mar 3 2017 27.0 Calls @ 0.22 with the stock at 21.71. These expire on Friday
