SPY
#ShortPuts – Taking the weekend risk off…
Bought to Close SPY APR 27 2020 273.0 Puts @ .12 (sold for 2.15)
HPE rollout
Almost forgot this one
Bought to close 1 HPE 04/24/2020 9.50 Covered Call / Sold 1 HPE 05/01/2020 9.50 Covered Call @ 0.18 Credit
SMH iron condor
Sold $SMH 6/19 100/110/150/160 iron condor @ 2.49. Short put/call strikes at 16 and 19 delta.
SPX 1-dte
#SPX1dte Sold $SPX Apr 27th 2710/2730-2935/2955 condors for 1.05, IV 20.4%, SPX 2840, deltas -.04,+.04
Expiring: 2675/2695-2880/2900 condors, sold yesterday for 1.00.
ADS Rollup
Bought to close ADS 04/24/2020 40.0 Call / Sold 05/01/2020 41.0 Calls @ 0.79 Credit + 1.00 better strike.
Done for today.
Letting all the rest of my ITM covered calls get assigned as the rolls are not that generous on the strikes I’m short now.
SPX 7-dte long
#SPX7dteLong. Bought to open $SPX May 1st 2810/2830-2840/2860 condors for 18.05.
Earlier, sold to close Apr 24th 2840/2820 put spreads for 15.20, and 2850/2870 calls spreads for .30. Bought last week for 18.30. Second loss on this strategy… still learning a bit as I go, but could have waited a bit later in the morning and gotten 17.00+ for put side.
The SPX has been consolidating around 2800 for over a week, making this strategy less palatable.
