#OnlySpreads
SPX trades
#SPX Sold to close $SPX Mar 2nd 4400/4420 call spreads for 1.95. Bought yesterday for 2.20. This did not work out the way I wanted, as we went lower rather than higher into yesterday’s close. I fortunately got the opening bounce I was looking for, but from the lower level it’s not enough, so I’m closing now to keep the loss small. Theta is a stone-cold killer on options expiring today. I’m not waiting for the small (but possible) chance of a huge spike up based on what Powell says. I’ll save the chips for another day.
