GOOGL supercharger rolled
#SuperCharger Sold $GOOGL Sep 28th 1155/1165 bull call spreads for 6.50. Bought for 6.99 last Monday.
#Rolling Bought GOOGL Oct 5th 1140/1150 call spreads for 6.85.
I’m getting leery, however, of staying long anything.
AMZN
STO September 28, 1680/1700 bull put spread @.95 cents. My next level will
be 1630/1650
Gartman
I understand that he is constructive on US stocks again. I should have known there was a reason for the market to be down.
LABU
#ShortPuts #IRA – Adding to a Dec ladder. Looked at Jan but lowest strike is still 75.
Sold LABU DEC 21 2018 60.0 Put @ 2.50

#SPXcampaign Morning all from the…
#SPXcampaign Morning all from the soggy Antfarm compound. We survived. No damage to the house or barn. Lots of debris to be cleaned up. Dog is having a blast wailing all the sticks into submission.
Got a late start here but Sold NUGT Sept 21st 13.50 Calls at 0.14 when NUGT hit 12.62. Basis is being whittled away at a splinter’s pace. Now 23.53 from an assignment of 26.58 in mid May
Sold SPX Sept 28th 2950/2970 BeCS @ .90 when SPX was at 2897.78. Waiting for a fill on the put side.
A TRADE:
ROKU BTC 9/21/18 78.0 CALLS @.10 STO @.50
AMZN SC closed
#Supercharger Sold to Close $AMZN Sep 28th 1890/1900 bull call spread for 6.50. Bought for 7.35 on Sept 6th.
As an experiment, I had also sold a 1-lot in the 1900/1890 put spread for 2.70. I entered the order to close for 3.55, which is the same .85 loss as the call spread. This put spread closed when AMZN hit 1923, and the call spread closed when it hit 1924. So as for stop loss, the experiment shows these spreads work about the same. I’ll try this again to see how the winners turn out.
AMAT
#LongCalls #LEAPS – Added one to reduce basis. 60 percent size now…
Bought AMAT JAN 17 2020 50.0 Call @ 2.55
BABA
#LongCalls #LEAPS – Looking a little weak here. Early in the trade so can stay aggressive. Rolling weeklies down but not out.
Rolled BABA SEP 21 2018 165.0 Calls to SEP 21 2018 160.0 Calls @ 1.77 credit
#shortputs #closing #fallingknife HAL Sept….
#shortputs #closing #fallingknife HAL
Sept. 5, sold Jan. 35 put for 1.31, bought today for .78.
Closed AZO
#SuperCharger Sold to close $AZO Sept 21st 725/735 bull call spread for 6.50. Bought for 7.35 on Aug 30th.
The expiration on this spread is AFTER earnings, which is not ideal as you won’t get enough theta decay to take the desired profit unless you wait past earnings. I didn’t want to risk the full 7.35 on that coin toss.
