#SPXcampaign Whew! What a day. Playing the SPX campaign means you’ll have rough days like this. My only disappointment today was the May 17th 2380/2355 spread I should have closed yesterday. That’s the only stopped spread that i have not yet rolled. Will add on some rolls in the coming days. All other trades pretty much as the [lan goes on such a sharp down day; despite the drawdown in the accounts today, positioning to gain it all back and then some in coming weeks.
I have been prepping a revised webinar on the strategy and have seen that when a Downside Warning or Upside Warning first hits, selling reverse rolls around and above recent extremes is a safer bet than rolling further out in the same direction. So today, I rolled most back into call spreads, since the odds are we will not be returning to 2400 area for at least a couple weeks.
Here are my trades since 2p ET, when things started to really crater:
