This was from my latest experiment. Buying a DITM LEAP put and selling daily against it. With the short put getting rolled out to Oct not worth holding that long. Closed the whole thing and may look to reset.

Hey Mr. Market come and get ’em! Iron Flies have a chance if these take some heat Friday.

Sold SPY May 16 2025 570.0 Puts @ 1.67

Watching for Friday. Had originally sold a few 5700/5705 call spreads and told Mr. Market to come get ’em. LOL He listened. Sometime last week when they started taking some real heat I added the put spread side setting up an iron fly. Still an outside shot at gains but minimizing loss.

Now:

No problem taking this loss with all the gains the rally has made. Mr. Market listened to me (for once)!
