SPX 1-dte
#SPX1dte Sold to Open $SPX Aug 23rd 4360/4380-4480/4500 condors for .95, SPX at 4442, IV 8.2%, deltas -.08 +.06. Actually a little more afraid of upside than downside, even though we are in a Downside Warning.
Expiring: Aug 20th 4290/4310-4460/4480 condors, sold yesterday for 1.15.
TLRY Put Roll
Last trade today
Rolled TLRY 08/20/2021 13.0 Puts to TLRY 08/27/2021 12.50 Puts at $0.08 Credit but lowered the strike 0.50 to below the current stock price.
At least my short 12.50 puts for this week will expire.
TQQQ Call Roll
Never thought I would have to roll this after TQQQ started out at 127 yesterday morning.
Bought to close 1 TQQQ 08/20/2021 135.0 Diagonal Call at $0.58. Sold this on Wednesday at $1.12
Replaced it with TQQQ Aug 27 2021 140.0 Call at $1.07
Paired with the 119.0 Put I rolled to this morning that gives me a 119/140 Strangle premium of $1.81 for 1 week.
TNA Call
Sold 1 TNA 08/27/2021 85.0 Diagonal Call at $0.91.
Paired with the 75.0 Put I rolled to this morning that gives me a 75/85 Strangle premium of $3.76 for 1 week.
I also have a short 85 call expiring today
VXX Calls
Sold to Open VXX Sep 10 2021 32.5 Covered Calls at $1.13.
The strike is right at the VXX high for the last month.
AMC Calls
Bought to close 1 AMC Aug 20 2021 38 Call at $0.02. Sold last Friday at $1.12.
Bought to close 1 AMC Aug 20 2021 39 Call at $0.01. Sold Tuesday at $1.94.
Replaced them with 1 AMC Aug 27 2021 40.0 Call at $0.56 and 1 AMC Aug 27 2021 41.0 Call at $0.54
I also have short $40 and $42 calls expiring today
VXX Call Rollup
The only short VXX call position I was actually concerned about:
Bought to close VXX Aug 20 2021 28.5 Calls at $0.16. Sold on Monday and Tuesday at $0.53 and $0.65.
Replaced it with VXX Aug 27 2021 31.0 Calls at $0.48.
As 31.14 was the high for VXX this week, this seems like the correct strike.
My expiring 29, 29.5, 30, 30.5 and 31 short calls look safe now
COUP PINS SPOT TDOC
#CoveredCalls – Misc. covered sales.

TQQQ
Bought to close TQQQ Aug 20 2021 120.0 Put Net at $0.02 (partial position). Sold Monday at $0.40

LABU Rolldowns
Rolled this week’s 52.0 Put to next week’s 50.0 Put for $0.15 Credit
Rolled this week’s 53.0 Put to next week’s 51.0 Put for $0.40 Credit.
I guess I pulled the trigger too soon on the strike 50’s earlier and probably on these too 😦
Also the TNA roll was early too.
TNA LABU Rolldowns
I said these would be easy to roll:
Bought to Close 1 TNA Aug 20 2021 79.0 Put / Sold to Open 1 TNA Aug 27 2021 75.0 Put at $0.05 Credit
Bought to Close 1 LABU Aug 20 2021 50.0 Put / Sold to Open 1 LABU Sep 03 2021 45.0 Put at $0.15 Credit.
(Why are there no strike prices available in LABU below 50 except for the strike 45?? What about a 49 or 48?)
TQQQ,
BTC August 20, 99 put at .01, sold at 1.03, nice to free up margin.
