SPX 7-dte
#SPX1dte Sold $SPX Aug 21st 2725/2700 put spreads for 2.70. I’m delaying the call side until we get a bounce.

#fallingknife #shortputs M Sold Sept….
Sold Sept. 20, 17 put for 1.08. Macy’s is down 2.25, about 11% after earnings.
NVDA earnings (sort of)
#JadeLizards – Playing this like an #Earnings trade but going out further for more safety. No upside risk and would get the stock at a 129 basis if it implodes…
Sold NVDA SEP 20 2019 135.0/150.0/155.0 Jade Lizard @ 6.00
SQ 8/23 5 puts closed…
SQ 8/23 65 puts closed for 3.95 or 2.72 loss per contract. I was going to convert to a #jadelizard but do not have time and also took the loss to avoid margin issues so I can stay in my other trades.
First losing trade on SQ this year.
Lots of other trades/puts are ITM but they still have good theta decay so will adjust those tomorrow.
Had a few extra minutes for lunch so:
LNG 67.5/67.5 #fuzzy rolled down to 60 for 1.55 debit and cb of 9.30.
EOG 87.5/87.5 #fuzzy expiring this week rolled down to 75/75 for next week for 3.16 debit. Cb now 18.34

Anyone know where this is down to today?

DRIP up

NVCR
STO September 20, 80 puts at 2.50 with stock trading at 86.50, after seeing the CEO on Jim Cramer last night.Small spec play for me on a cancer treatment.
VXX long game
#VXXGame Bought to Open $UVXY Jan 2020 20 puts for 1.95. First purchase of this symbol for the long put play.
Also, adding to my position on $VXX:
Bought $VXX Jan 2020 20 puts for 1.25 back on Aug 5th,
Bought more for 1.20 today.
Avg price on my whole batch is now 1.40.
SPX puts closed
#SPX1dte BTC $SPX May 16th 2775/2750 put spreads for 2.40. This was a thoroughly annoying one. Not only could I have closed it yesterday for probably .20, but I tried to close at the open for under 1.00. Missing my fill, I ended up chasing it down, trying to fill on each bounce, until finally I just had to pull the cord. At least I got the 1.00 profit. I’ll let the calls expire, even through that side traded as high as 8.00 yesterday.
Condors sold Monday for 3.45.

That dead cat bounce did not stay in the air long. I will be adjusting trades to neutral to bearish stance or at least to trades that won’t get killed with whipsaws.
Have a lot of trades ITM that expire this week and next week.

SPX 1-dte stopped
#SPX1dte My stop was hit at the open so my order to close put side filled on the little spike up we just had.
BTC $SPX Aug 14th 2865/2845 put spreads for 3.00. Condors sold yesterday for 1.05.
Also, working to close the Aug 16th 2775/2750 put spreads which were sold Monday in a condor. Should have closed yesterday except for deer-in-headlights syndrome.
