STC #supercharger Sept 28 1147.5/1150 Calls 2.40 cost 1.90
#ContangoETFs STO $GUSH March 55 call for 4.20. Looks like I was filled at today’s top.
#spxcampaign Paired my Oct 08th BECS with Oct 08th 2840 / 2820 BuPS for 1.20 when SPX was at 2916.34. Profit stop is .30 with a Stop Loss of 4.60. I am still trying to find the best stop loss value on these. Sheridan teaches essentially 3X the profit target. I am considering a modification using Jeff’s method of a tag of the short call while maintaining the stop loss on the Put side. Why? The Oct 03rd and Sept 28th Call spreads were stopped out on the gap up for a loss but didn’t tag the short call. Critiques are welcomed.
Sold $CLF Nov 16 14 calls @ .54. Another long term hold I wouldn’t mind being taken out of.
Sold $RIG Jan 18 2019 16.00 calls @ .62. Been long for a couple of years. Wouldn’t mind getting taken out at 16.
CML recommended a different way of playing GOOGL pre-earnings.
