“Sorry, we have run into a small problem.
Don’t worry, it’s nothing you did, just a minor system error on our end. We’re working on it and hope to have it resolved soon.”
#SPX1dte Sokd to Open $SPX 4515/4535-4610/4630 condors for .65, deltas -.06 +.05, IV 20.2%
Waited until Powell finished remarks and for Q&A to begin. Went with less aggressive deltas, so I have less chance of stepping in sh*t on a Friday.
#ShortPuts – Taking off the bottom of the big Dec ladder for decent gains before JP starts yakking today. Hopefully a JP dip to reload.
