Overnight trades

I leave you crazy kids for one day and the Market goes haywire?

I’ve never traded blind before, but it’s working out okay so far. Set up some covered call management before bed. Was woken up by heavy rain (typhoon coming) about 2am (11am Portland time) and made a couple of adjustments.

Sold $FB Aug 17th 190 #CoveredCalls for 2.06 and 192.5 calls for 1.70
Sold $MU Aug 3rd 55 covered call for .80
Rolled $AMAT July 27th 46.5 covered call to Aug 3rd 46.5, .33 credit
Sold $PYPL Aug 17th 91.5 #SyntheticCoveredCall for 1.50. Missed the fill on more.
BTC $GUSH Aug 17th 50 call for .25. Sold for 2.15 awhile back.

#OptionsExpiration
— Expiring —
FB 227.5 & 230 calls
— Assignment —
FB 197.5 and 200 puts

Have a great weekend y’all!

#LongPuts #LongCalls #LongLEAPStraddles – It’s gonna be another crazy trip on Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride next week with earnings. I rolled these calls down a couple times this week collecting more premium but they didn’t quite get taken out. I’m rolling straight out for next week to give my ITM short puts some protection.

Rolled TSLA JUL 27 2018 290.0 Calls to AUG 3 2018 290.0 Calls @ 10.10 credit (32.10 total now)

Adjustments going into the weekend

I’m not bearish but I’ve been flying high and long for a few weeks and ready to reduce exposure.

Flipped my pre-ER long calls to call debit spreads or closed for small loss/profit.
Sold my post-ER long puts for profit.
Closed the synthetic portion of half my fuzzies but kept the protective puts.
Hedged all fuzzies and diagonals.
Bought VXX ATM calls in Aug 3, 10, and 17 expirations.

I’ve been planning to be flattish to short for the rest of the summer after next week but decided to get started today with the elevated VIX. If VIX is at the high near the close, will add more hedges.

#earnings One good, EXPE up…

#earnings

One good, EXPE up 10.40 so the 115 puts crushed to .025 and since I don’t have any other trades lined up at the moment will let it expire.

One bad, WDC down 5.61 now. I am short the 75 puts for next week. About $300 left in time value so will let that erode a little more and roll it next week.

Everything else looks like it will expire or call out as I posted yesterday.

Biotechs down today, LABU down big so it may be a potential trade for Monday. Also looking at SMH 21 DTE #pietrade and a few others but too busy to look more than that today. Will find some over the weekend.

Have a great weekend!

Doing a bit of damage control, adjustments.
Rolled MU 58 Put out to Aug 03rd 58 P for .20 credit
Early assigned 100 MU at 58. Sold Aug 17th 58 Call @ .85
Bought to close Roku 46 Call yesterday @ 3.20. Man was that a stupid move. Trying to cover it up. No takers
I’m thinking my FAS will be called away @ 71 unless…. Assigned a 67 on 6/30.
Small position in TWTR covered with 7/27 47 Calls. Painful none the less. Will be selling calls to get back to even.
Hope your day is going well.

EA

The EA trade was bonehead yesterday. The long vol crush was 23%, it killed the trade. Lost $644, but I made $380 scalping 10 AMZN shares after hours last night, and took $350 profit from the BA trade this morning. On EA, the risk graph was just not showing the danger, but the vega level was the warning. In the future I will split the time frames for analysis and apply better vol crush to each one.

The backtester shows an almost 100% success rate on BA (5 year test) with this trade: 1. 45DTE 2. sell 10 delta put x 10 3. buy 30/20 delta put debit spread x 2 4. close/reset at 50% profit. So I will be placing this trade this morning on a rolling basis. I will probably do 5/1 on qty. Excuse the “mouse writing” on the pic.

$fuzzballl
Is there a secret to getting back on track when a short call gets run over?
ERX as an example. It appears that every time I sell or roll a call against my 2020 Leaps the market takes off, glad these are ratio’s although the negative numbers keep adding up.
