SPX trades

#SPXcampaign
Bought to close $SPX March 31st 2465/2490 call spreads for .20. Sold as part of a #CondorRoll for 4.60 on March 1st.

#ITMroll Bought to close SPX March 15th 2325/2350 call spreads for 21.50. Sold on March 1st for 22.00.
Sold to Open SPX March 22nd 2345/2370 for 15.50, with 1.5x position size. I’m margin-weighted toward the short put side, so selling extra calls helps. So I increased size on this one which allowed me to move up 20 points. I also added:

Sold to Open $SPX March 16th (monthly) 2390/2415 call spreads for 2.50.

My positions have come closer in to the point that my portfolio resembles one giant iron butterfly on the market. If we can consolidate here for two weeks, it would be brilliant. More likelyI will have to adjust one way or the other.

SPX strangle

Yesterday I sold the April 3, 2200/2500 strangle for 2.05 and these trades eat up a lot of margin.
