#LongCallDiagonals – Long term diagonal (Whiz style trade) is pretty much dead money now so booking it. With the near vertical rise in this thing the short term call got away from me. So far ITM now that profit is basically capped on the LEAP call. After rolling the LEAP call up a couple times to reduce risk, I’m closing the whole thing except the Jan 2019 500/400 BuPS which I’ll close if I ever need the buying power. Ideally we get a pullback to start all over again.

Bought to Close GOOGL DEC 15 2017 900.0 Call @ 110.65
Sold to Close GOOGL JAN 18 2019 850.0 Call @ 194.70

After roll ups of LEAP call basis was down to 31.00 and front month sales brought in another 13.9 points.

When it’s all said and done a net gain of 66.95. Worked pretty good but having that front month call in the way really hurt. Next time I’ll be more aggressive getting out of the way. Of course, who could’ve seen a 250 point six month run coming…wow!
