BBY adding
Adding just a bit here. Sold a small position of the $BBY Oct 20 52.50 puts earlier today. With the further down move I just sold Oct 20 50.00 puts for 1.00.
SPX reversal?
#SPXcampaign The huge reversal in SPX and big drop in VIX (looking to end down on the day) could signal a sort-term bottom is in. I am looking to close some call spreads with profits; if there is a follow-through rally tomorrow, I will be facing a serious drawdown if I don’t close some today.

Does anyone see BBY as a falling knife? It’s down 7.60, 12% after earnings.

$SVXY #SportPuts Sold Sept 22nd 60 Puts @ 1.25 when $SVXY was at 76.45. I was adjusting down my price from this morning which wasn’t filled and got too close to the mid. Should have walked down instead of leaping.

SPX calls sold
#SPXcampaign Another downside signal fired in premarket with VIX high of 14.34. I’ve profited greatly from call spreads in August, and I’m banking there’s more time left before the next rally to new highs.
Sold to Open $SPX Sep 14th 2460/2485 call spreads for 6.00.
Sold to Open $SPX Sep 22nd 2475/2500 call spreads for 4.50.
Also trying to sell put spreads since the open. I’ve been waiting for a stronger spike down, but it’s not coming. Always a possibility that this morning’s open was the low.
