#ShortPuts Rolled Sept 29th 65…
#ShortPuts Rolled Sept 29th 65 Put out and up to Oct 20th 75 Put for 2.35 credit. This is a single contract in my Roth and the highest strike in my Oct ladder so I’m comfortable with raising the strike.
Upside Warning
#VIXIndicator We are heading into an upside warning with a third consecutive close below 9.96. This signal rarely is false.; while recent Downside warnings have often been head fakes, the Upsides have been good for at least a small rally before stopping, which in this case would mean 10-30 points higher on SPX next week. Hard to believe that will happen with the recent range-bound, dull movement. And weekend news could derail it as well.
Option expirations
SVXY: 40 puts, 50 puts, 55 puts.
That is it for today and I am going to the gym. Have a nice weekend.

VXX rolling
#VXXGame #LongPutDiagonals #Rolling #StrangleRoll
As $VXX and $UVXY continue to bleed out, I’m rolling my last ITM puts into strangles.

Sold VXX Oct 20th 43/46.5 strangle for 5.45
