TSLA

I am out of my TSLA strangle for a small loss of .30 cents, it was using too much margin. I should have done an iron condor.

On an other trade, I sold a strangle on Silver for October 16, 21/29 for 1.01

Another BABA adjustment

Rolled $BABA 9/18 270/260 bull put spread up to 280/270 for 1.21 credit. Position is now an iron butterfly (270/280/290) with the stock around 288. Total premium taken in 7.16. Nothing more to do with this. I will either take it off for a profit if the stock comes back toward 280 or will accept the max loss of 2.84.

Credit generation campaign

Short term straddle/strangle trades for cost reduction purposes on the corresponding long dated long strangles:

0.5 x EWZ Aug 28: $30 short straddle @ $1.20

0.5 x EWZ Aug 28: $29.5 / 30.5 short strangle @ $0.77 (is the $0.43 cushion versus the straddle sale any comfort?).

XLF Sep 04 $24.5 short straddle @ $0.90 – giving myself more time to adjust.

Market makers playing hard to fill for the MDLZ strangle so I am closing that out and replacing with an IBB LEAP strangle.

SPX Risk Reversal

a la RandomWalk (but not sure whether the name fits this type of trade!)

Combine a close to the money Broken Wing Put Butterfly (debit trade) with an OTM unbalanced 1 x 3 x 2 Call Butterfly (credit trade) adjusting the strikes of the two trades to place it for as close to zero cost as possible.

Sept 21 weeklies: 3420 / 3400 / 3385 Put Butterfly @ $2.55 debit

Sept 21 weeklies: 3500 / 3510 / 3520 unbalanced Call Butterfly (1 x 3 x 2) @ $2.39 credit

Only risk to the downside is the debit paid ($0.16). Upside breakeven is around 3514. Two profit peaks (bigger one @ $3400, smaller one close to $3500.

But it makes more sense looking at the risk profile:

Covered Calls 8/21 and Actions

All the positions below are part of covered call strategies across three accounts. Assigned on a couple I wasn’t planning on. Just couldn’t get all the trades done. Internet at the cottage in Canada is functional….but not ideal.

XLK

#DiagonalButterfly

XLK @ $118.18

BTC $XLK Aug 21: $110 short straddle @$7.65 (originally sold @ $6.70)

Scaled into additional LEAP strangles earlier in the month, so layered on additional short terms straddle sales

BTC $XLK Aug 21: $115 straddle @$2.65 (originally sold for $4.41).

This turned the Aug 21 set of straddle sales into a profit.

STO $XLK Aug 28: $117.5 straddle @$2.94

Cover is the Jan 22: $90 call / $125 put long strangle @ $50

#DiagonalButterfly

MDLZ @ $57.47

BTC MDLZ Aug 21 $56.0 short straddle @ $1.70 (originally sold for $1.03)

Assess on Monday, but planning to move to strangle rather than straddles sales and 14 DTE.

Cover is the Jan 2022 long $40 put / $65 call strangle.

XLF vs. FAS

XLF @ $24.36

BTC XLF Aug 21 $25 short straddle @ $0.68 (originally sold for $1.02)

Cover is the Jan 2022 15 PUT / 30 CALL long strangle @ $ 1.56

New set of straddles for XLF to be sold on Monday.

FAS @ $36.38

BTC FAS Aug 21 $40 short straddle @ $3.70 (originally sold for $3.34)

STO FAS Sep 04 $36 short straddle @ $3.29

Cover is the FAS Jan 2022 20 PUT / 70 CALL long strangle @ $ 10.28

It’s early days but I’m expecting FAS volatility to be too high for this strategy. I’ve already moved to selling 14DTE for FAS, the next modification will be selling strangles rather than straddles.

EWZ

#DiagonalButterfly

BTC EWZ Aug 21 $31.5 straddle @ $1.96 (sold for $1.48)

With last Monday’s sharp decline on EWZ I used the opportunity to add to my long LEAP strangles and then made a corresponding weekly straddle sale at the lower ATM strike ($30) – this turned the combined set of weekly sales into a profit:

BTC EWZ Aug 21 $30 straddle for $0.49 @ (sold for $1.29)

Cover is EWZ Jan 2022 long strangle $27 call / $37 put.

Gut feeling told me to hold off from selling the new set of weekly straddles until I see how the market unfolds on Monday.
