$ROKU 84 call I sold this morning for .49. Stock went up $10 more after the covering. I almost feel naked, or undressed at the least!

I covered all my shorts in the SPY for a nice profit and STO TQQQ, 42 puts for September 8 at 1.80
#CoveredCalls – Keeping plenty of downside protection in place.
Rolled TSLA Jul 28 2023 245.0 Call to Aug 04 2023 240.0 Call @ 5.65 credit (27.90 total now)
STO September 384 puts at 8.60 in my IRA. Since the start of this year the S&P 500 is up 20% but the QQQ is up 45% so far. If I get assigned I will just keep the ETF.
#SPX1dte Bought to close $SPX July 28 4600/4620 call spreads for 1.60. Condors sold this morning for 1.00.
Horrible week due to my major error yesterday. I had ruminated in the past that when I hit midweek with profit target already met, I need to be overly careful on Thursday and Friday. I forgot that, and when I should have closed put spread to remove risk, I instead sold a next-day condor. That error sucked 10.00 out of my accounts when market took a mid-day dive.
If today turns out to be a super rally I will take profits on the long Aug 2nd calls I entered this morning.

#SPX1dte #RiskReversal I can’t see a strong reason for yesterday’s dip, and with $VIX resuming its downward trend this morning, it’s possible the Upside Warning is still strong.
