SPX 1-dte
#SPX1dte Sold to Open $SPX Jun 22nd 4330/4310 put spreads for .50, delta -.07.
In my usual horrendous method of legging in, I sold this before the afternoon low, expecting a rally into close. Looking to sell call side if that rally materializes.

SPX risk off
#SPX1dte Bought to close $SPX Jun 21st 4345/4325 put spreads for .30. Condors sold yesterday for 1.15
Am I sick of stops being hit nearly every day? Yes. But into this upside warning it feels like 1st Quarter of this year, where we’d swing in the morning but relax after first hour. With $VIX hitting new lows this morning, I held out. I would like to see the 120-170 point width we saw in 1Q return, but deltas remain frustratingly narrow.
