SPX 1-dte
#SPX1dte Volatility is low in this rally, so again going 10-wide, double-size. I wanted to sell earlier but felt it could go another leg higher, and it did.
Sold $SPX July 29th 2985/2995-3050/3060 condors for .40. IV 5.63%, SPX 3026.
Expiring by the skin of my teeth: July 26th 2960/2970-3030/3040, sold for .45 yesterday.
SWK roll
#Earnings #Rolling My earnings condor is a bust, with the 148/150 call side set to expire ITM, which will be a 2.00 debit, against the .80- credit for selling it on Tuesday. So I’m trying a one-week move to breakeven.
Sold $SWK Aug 2 148/150-152.5/155 condors for 1.30. If we can hold tight enough to expire I should come out flat after accounting for commissions.

#BearCallSpreads – I’ve gotta take a shot at this thing. Going defined risk out to Nov and slightly in the money. Possibly leg into an iron condor on a pullback.

SBUX closed
#Earnings Sold to close $SBUX Jul26/Aug02 90p/91c #DoubleCalendar for .26. Bought yesterday for .38. Move was too high so I got out early while puts still have value. I don’t have any hope for a big drop today.
