A Nice move in ES Today finally…
SVXY #Shortputs Bought to close Oct 27th 75 Put @ .04. Filled after the close.
$VIX /VX – the VIX index and the VIX futures gave it ALL back by day’s end. VIX up 0.07 and futures up only 0.10
Expect SVXY to rise tomorrow and UVXY to revisit it’s old low soon.
$WHR #ShortPuts #FallingKnife – adding on
Sold 1 WHR APR 20 2018 125.0 Put @ 2.05
Sold 1 WHR JUN 15 2018 125.0 Put @ 2.84
$SVXY #ShortPuts – Sold SVXY Nov 03 2017 79.0 Puts @ 1.17
$SVXY #CoveredCalls – Sold 1 SVXY Nov 10 2017 111.0 Call @ 1.09.
It seemed like a good idea after all the SVXY Puts and UVXY Calls I sold today.
It has been great today and let us hope for more volatility this week. I am off to the gym and tread mill.
#Earnings #ShortStrangles – Out of AVGO earlier so now there’s room to take a shot at this one…
Sold FFIV OCT 27 2017 115.0/130.0 Strangles @ 2.40
Skewed slighly bullish with an expected move of 7.01 with stock at 118.90
Been deep in the money for a while but I’m able to continue rolling this at the same strike, collecting a credit.
Rolled $M Nov 17 27 puts out to Dec 15 27 puts for .35 credit. Total premium taken in so far is 2.25 so my cost basis is down to 24.75.
$SVXY #ShortPuts – Sold SVXY NOV 3 2017 74.0 Puts @ 0.85
$DUST #CoveredCalls – using a little bit of strength in DUST to roll my covered calls up for a credit.
Bought to close DUST Oct 27 2017 27.5 Calls/Sold DUST Nov 3 2017 28.0 Calls @ 0.25 Credit.
I made a little on this weeks’s calls and bumped my exit price by 0.75.
$SVXY #ShortPuts #IRA – Keeping my timeframe short
Sold SVXY Nov 3 2017 69.0 Puts @ 0.41
Sold SVXY Nov 3 2017 68.0 Puts @ 0.41
Sold SVXY Nov 10 2017 60.0 Puts @ 0.51
$DUST #ShortPuts #IRA – Bought to close 1 DUST Dec 15 2017 14.0 Put @ 0.05. It won’t trade any lower.
Originally sold on 09/07/17 at 1.10.
STO December 1, 55 puts @.95
$PRGO #ShortPuts – Bought to close PRGO Jan 19 2018 50.0 Puts @ 0.05. They won’t trade any lower and don’t expire until next year.
Sold in August at 1.15 and again at 1.50.
STO December 1, 60 puts @1.20
#ContangoETFs #ShortCalls I found these $NUGT positions all sitting in the corner of my portfolio, neglected and ignored. Margin freed up!
BTC NUGT Nov 17th 60 call for .03. Sold for 2.10 on Sep 7th.
BTC NUGT Dec 15th 51 calls for .15. Sold for 2.18 and 3.85 in August.
BTC NUGT 58 call for .07. Sold for 2.28 on Aug 31st.
BTC NUGT Jan 19th 58 call for .28. Sold for 5.80 on June 6th.
BTC NUGT Mar 16th 60 call for .77. Sold for 5.50 on Sept 5th.
$SVXY #ShortPuts – Keeping my timeframe very, very short
Sold SVXY Nov 3 2017 73/72/71/70 Puts all @ 0.52
If she can get down to 120 or so (116 would be even better) it will be my next Whiz style #SyntheticStock position…FWIW 🙂
Tried to get a fill on a Nov 3 $100/$95 BuPS. Started @ @2.60 and kept dropping $.05 every couple of minutes. Killed the order when I got down to $2.30. Bid/Ask spread on those puts are huge, wanted to see if I could get a fill. The $100 put was almost ATM so any amount of calmness would have these expiring worthless.
$UVXY #ShortCalls – some random speculative trades
Sold 1 UVXY Mar 16 2018 91.0 Call @ 2.56 – highest strike
Sold UVXY Jan 19 2018 91.0 Calls @ 1.40 – highest strike
Sold UVXY Dec 15 2017 91.0 Calls @ 0.75 – highest strike
Sold UVXY Nov 17 2017 45.0 Calls @ 0.57
Sold UVXY Nov 10 2017 35.0 Calls @ 0.56
Sold UVXY Nov 3 2017 27.50 Calls @ 0.55
Sold UVXY Oct 27 2017 22.5 Calls @ 0.31
#VXXGame #LongPutDiagonals In chronological order:
Sold $VXX Dec 15th 30 call for 7.50, adding to my position… switching the failed covered puts to calls, which have much better chance of surviving.
Closed $SVXY Jan 2018 97.5 call for 13.10. Sold for 3.125 (effective price) in January.
#Rolling the above to March 104 call for 13.35. Likely have to be rolled again, but at least I got it higher.
Closed $VXX Oct 27th 44 put for 6.75. Sold for 5.85 on Sept 29th as a roll.
Sold $UVXY Dec 15th 91 calls for .70 and .75
SVXY #Shortputs Sold Nov 17th 70 Put at 1.45 with SVXY at 95.75
STO Nov 17 $SPY $249/235 put spreads @ $0.83
Going really slowly here.
Sold $SVXY Dec 1 60 put @ 1.30.
#SyntheticStock #LongCallDiagonals – Booking and selling. Earnings next week so great premium. Selling above the 50ma…
Bought to Close AAPL OCT 27 2017 160.0 Calls @ .09 (sold for .80)
Sold AAPL NOV 3 2017 160.0 Calls @ 1.80
If there’s a bounce to be, it has begun
#SPXcampaign #VIXIndicator The VIX topped out (thus far) at 13.20, which is .47 shy of canceling the Upside Warning. If the bullish trend is to continue, the bounce may have started now.
Closed $SPX Nov 3rd 2520/2545 call spreads for 19.45. Sold Friday for 22.70. This will be another #ITMroll, but I’m going to roll it late today or tomorrow, provided we continue higher.
Stopped Oct 31st 2560/2535 put spreads for 9.60. Sold for 3.15 on Friday. This was stopped on the way back up from the lows. Can’t risk a gap down with expiration date so near. I’m going to consider how to roll tomorrow.
STO: Nothing like a little volatility to make me feel better and put a smile on my face.
November 11, 60 puts @ .45
November 17, 60 puts @ .73
November 24, 60 puts @ 1.05
November 17, 65 puts @ 1.10

More fun to come, I’m sure!

Bought to Close AVGO NOV 10 2017 240.0/260.0 Strangle @ 3.50 (sold for 6.48)
#Earnings Took the loss at a discount,
closed $CMG Oct 27th 290/300/350/360 #IronCondor for 9.65. Saved .35 from letting it expire… it could recover into Friday, but I’m doubting it. This also releases some margin.
STO $SVXY Nov 17 $55 puts @ $.50

Synthetic short stock with a protective call. 45.00 debit with max loss of 50.00:
Sold SPX JAN 19 2018 2570.0 Call @ 41.50
Bought SPX JAN 19 2018 2570.0 Put @ 48.00
Bought SPX JAN 19 2018 2575.0 Call @ 38.50
Need to collect 4.15 per week to cover the max loss so:
Sold SPX NOV 3 2017 2530.0 Put @ 5.90
This gives 40 to 50 points of downside protection for minimal (or no) cost…
