#optionsexpiration #pietrades and #supercharger

Mostly adjustments and rolling. Only problem with #pietrades is when 1 goes ITM, they all go ITM. A lot of red on paper this week and will take some 2-8 weeks to break even or profit but can be done. The only one I can’t seem to repair at the moment is the SOXL #supercharger. Not because I don’t know how, don’t have enough cash in the account to do it.

SOXL #supercharger for those that have a few dollars left here is what I want to/would do if I had enough cash left. Sell the long 140 calls and roll to Sept. for about 11.20 debit. Then roll the July 145 down to 140 for 2.6 credit. Creates a calendar that can then be adjusted 1 more time and a profit at current levels at expiration if it does not move too much. New breakeven range of 132-150. I have 7 contracts and would add about $770 to the trade but recovers it for a while. Here is the graph. Since I don’t have enough cash I have to use the Aug. expiration which only gives me 1 shot at recovery so personally I am taking a $1470 loss and will roll it into something else. The account is very small, smaller now and need to preserve what’s left to be able to trade again. Likely a #fuzzy as it will be the most efficient over the long term but may ratio to prevent losses on the upside.

MU taking assignment tomorrow at 58.44 cost basis and sell CC on Monday. A rebound would be nice 🙂 but momentum has definitely shifted across the market.

FAS taking assignment at cost basis of 64.82 and will CC on Monday.

AMAT 49 CC rolled down to 47 at 22 DTE for 0.71 credit. Cost basis now 50.83 so will take some time to recover this one. Especially since had to roll out 3 weeks.

TQQQ taking assignment at 59.95 and will cc on Monday.

AMAT 49 cc rolled down to 47 22 DTE for 0.75 credit. Cost basis now 47.67 so this one is getting close to scratching.

#pietrades are awesome but when some of your names move 10+ points in a week there will be paper losses until you can work it back to even. On the triples can get about $1-2 a week in ATM premium, but be ready to roll up quickly on a whipsaw. Stocks under 100 take longer because you can only get about 0.5-1 per week on those. Stick with it though and you will eventually turn a profit. On thing OIB teaches it think like an investor (long term) but trade like a trader. Only do #pietrades on names you don’t mind holding for a while and weeks like this show you why. I will be in MU and AMAT for several more weeks.

Hope everyone else is having a good week and expiration. Will update the call sales and adjustments on Monday (hopefully will have time to trade at lunch the office has been crazy busy so may not get the chance).
