SPX removing risk

#SPX1dte BTC $SPX Aug 8th 4435/4415 put spreads for .30. This is from condors sold yesterday. Stop has not been hit, but removing the double downside risk, leaving today’s 4440/4420 spreads in place.

Missed the Upside Warning cancelation

#VIXindicator In updating my charts today, I see that I missed the cancelation of the Upside Warning last Thursday, August 3rd, when the $VIX spiked over 25% than the 2-day closing low. I have updated the information on the sidebar to the right.

SPX same day

#SPX1dte Sold to Open $SPX Aug 8th 4420/4440-4535/4555 condors for .95, deltas -.05 +.07, IV 22%

I still have 4415/4435 put spreads, so double risk on downside. Call spreads were more threatened at the close so I closed them, but then market dropped overnight, and IV is higher.
