IWM $145.5/$140 put spreads
Also shortly before the close BTC Nov 13 SPX $2570/$2565 put spreads @ $0.50, sold for $0.85. It was always my plan to exit these before the weekend, but really did expect a bigger profit. Yesterday’s action and today’s choppiness kept a bid in these puts and they just didn’t decay as fast as I had wanted. Still have 2 other open put spreads.
Have a great weekend everyone.

DIS earnings
#Earnings – Took a shot and the dealer pulled a 6 card “21” on me. Closed the ITM sides paying an extra penny to avoid exercise fees.
Bought to Close call portion of DIS 102/103/104 iron flies @ 1.01 (sold for .90). Puts should expire…
SPX puts stopped
#SPXcampaign I didn’t get the continuation of yesterday’s rally at the open so I’ve been watching for direction…. now that we’ve made a new high it looks more promising. Closed one put spread when it looked like it might fail a third time. Now I’m looking to sell the call spreads as rolls from yesterday, and then I will consider how to roll this stopped spread:
Stopped $SPX Nov 20th 2565/2540 put spreads for 4.00. Sold for 2.10 on Wednesday.
AAOI
#ShortStrangles – She’s actually perking up a little bit. Gonna let out the leash and give it some room…selling against DITM puts so treating it like a covered call.
Rolled AAOI NOV 10 2017 44.0 Calls to NOV 24 2017 46.5 Calls @ .25 credit
Current position is an “inverted calendar”…short Dec 80.0 puts and short Nov 17 44.0 calls.
These are 36 points inverted with 19.90 premium received. To get back to even I need to squeeze the inversion in to narrower than the premium received. Stock gets in between and the entire thing goes away…still some work to do but getting there.
STMP
#CoveredCalls – Replacing this week’s…selling aggressively while she (hopefully) consolidates for awhile.
Sold STMP NOV 17 2017 175.0 Call @ 3.50
STO 12/22 EOG 98 puts at 1.05.
2 days down in a row. Is that a record?!
SPX hedge
#RocketManHedge – Synthetic short out in January. Gradually covering the cost (and a little more) while carrying a little downside protection. Going out to next Wed here since the Friday monthlies only trade until Thur at the close.
This week’s 2560 looks safe so:
Sold SPX NOV 15 2017 2565.0 Put @ 5.70
