It’s been a couple months since I’ve done one of these. With SPX sitting where it was in late October and being near my highest short strikes it seemed like a good time. I’ll post actual numbers from both of my accounts. As I mentioned in my last update I felt 2025 was about as bad as it can get fighting an up market. If 2026 continues like it has so far just wide range sideways chop and high ((ish)) VIX it’s going to be a banner year!!

Initial post on Feb 5th for an earnings play:
Sold AMZN FEB 20 2026 230.0/225.0 Bull Put Spreads @ 2.80
Stock tanked on the announcement and weak market.
Feb 13th early assigned on the 230 short puts. But left the 225 longs in place in case we continued down planning to close them at some point and apply the credit to the cost basis.
Feb 13th rolled 225 longs down to 215 to lock in gains.
Feb 17th rolled 215 longs down to 200 feeling this might be a bottom and with gamma increasing on the 200s near expiration still some decent downside protection…

Been running 5 contracts of Dec 2027 660/660/700 and one roll up to 680/680/720 since Nov 21st.
Booking everything for a gain of 90 points total. Reloading to Dec 2028 and only buying puts. The call spreads in a smaller account take up a lot of valuable buying power so leaving those out and buying just 10 puts. Selling 5 daily and laddering the rest starting about a week out.
EDIT: for full disclosure I had a 30 point loss initially in this account due to multiple early assignments on SPY. XSP has made that all back plus another 60 points just since Nov 21st. Fills have been fine with no issues.
After some rolls officially booking the gains today.
