REGN put side roll up

#Earnings #ShortStrangles Taking a cue from @fuzzballl and rolling up the good side,
BTC REGN March 17th 330 put for 1.50. Sold in the 330/400 strangle for 6.10 last Friday.
STO REGN March 17th 350 put for 3.80, so 2.30 credit on the roll.

Looking like the 400 call may have to be rolled UP. All biotech surging.

SPX trades

#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX March 16th (monthlys) 2405/2430 call spreads for 1.40, w/SPX at 2335. (standard weekly position)

#ITMrolling Dealing with three of these now, so I am rolling each one week before expiration.
Bought to close $SPX Feb 21st 2300/2325 call spreads for 18.50. Sold for 5.40 on Feb 1st.
Rolled one week further, 5 points higher: Sold to Open Feb 28th 2305/2330 call spreads for 16.50, w/SPX at 2327.

I sold that roll after we started recovering from this morning’s whipsaw. I intended to sell some puts to make up the 2.00 debit, but we kept going higher. Since I’m fairly heavy on aggressive put spreads, I felt better adding calls, believe it or not. So I added an extra call spread on the same expiry. I intend this one to expire while the one above will likely roll again:

Sold to Open $SPX Feb 28th 2365/2390 call spreads for 2.05, w/SPX at 2335.

PEP earnings

#SPXcampaign Taking another shot at an #IronButterfly. PEP rarely moves much on earnings. With stock at 106.30 this is slightly bullish placement… the chart is in a small uptrend; plus if it does drop or stay flat after the report it will have until Friday to rise back into range. Risking .67 to make 1.33.

Sold to Open $PEP Feb 17th 105/107/109 iron butterfly for 1.33.
Over last 12 reports, FIVE day moves: Biggest UP move: 3.8%, Biggest DOWN move: -4.2%, Average move: 2.0%. Breakevens on Friday are 105.67 and 108.33. -0.6% and +1.9% OTM.

sunday Open Trade YM

#futures

5pm Mkt opened reasonably flat…along the Vwap average line..
7:45 YM enters a squeeze, Wave moves above zero. Enter long YM at 20240, stop at 20220
8:00 YM squeeze trigger to the upside, Launch power strong above 50, ym starts to move up
8:30 YM moves above 20260, stop moved to BE
8:55 YM hits the 20280 level and stalls, wave and squeeze are declining, Trade closed, for 40 points
gain @ 40 points

Gives me a head start for the week coming..
also if the YM holds at 20260 or higher, we will open with a 30 or 40 point gap-up at 8:30 open..might be an opportunity for a open gap fade trade..

cheers, FW
