SPY Expiration
I’m certain of these at least
1 SPY 470/480 Bull Put Spread
1 SPY 469/479 Bull Put Spread
1 SPY 491 Diagonal Put
SPY Late Fills
Sold SPY 02/22/2024 499.0 Diagonal Calls at $0.26 and $0.28
Buyers anticipating an NVDA blowout as these are almost 2 points out of the money with 5 minutes until the close.
Also Sold 1 SPY 02/22/2024 505/500.0 Bear Call Spread at $0.13 Credit (one minute before the close)
SPX 0-dte study
#SPX0dte I did a mini-study today to back test WAITING UNTIL EXPIRATION . I went from April 5, 2021, which was the first day we breached SPX 4000, to 2/13/24. I tested the IB with 30-pt wings. Premium taken in of $16 each day.
Total trading days:721
Total wins: 276, $2,370
Total losses: 445, -$5,147
So, definitely not looking beneficial over long term to wait until the close. I suspected this, but wanted to make sure. If we increased premium to $17 or $18 we’d get closer to even but I still think it would be a loss.
