#ShortStrangles and possibly #PerpetualRollingStrangles – Haven’t been in this one in awhile. Finally showing some two sided action…
Sold EWZ DEC 15 2017 40.0/44.0 Strangles @ 1.55

KMB
#FallingKnife #IRA #Dividends – Maybe a decent place to buy it if she keeps falling…
Sold KMB APR 20 2018 105.0 Put @ 3.00
NVDA
#Earnings – Trying something a little different. Instead of waiting until the day of the announcement I’m selling a starter position in case this thing breaks higher. I’ll add if it drops and then decide later if I’m gonna sell the call side.
Selling the 50 ma the week of earnings…
Sold NVDA NOV 10 2017 180.0 Put @ 2.30

#ShortStrangles – Taking a little off and looking out to #Earnings week for a new position…
Bought to Close NVDA NOV 3 2017 180.0/215.0 Strangles @ .63 (sold for 5.11)
WYNN
#Earnings ?? – As usual the date changed over the weekend. TOS estimating the 26th now but IV still reflects their original date of Nov 1st. Who knows? Nothing on the WYNN website yet…

SVXY
#ShortCalls – Here’s how I’m handling my short calls that get in trouble. Well before they get in the money (usually as they reach about 3 times more than they sold for) I roll them out to put spreads.
Rolled SVXY JAN 19 2018 117.5 Calls to JUN 15 2018 120.0/105.0 Bull Put Spreads @ .10 credit
So now what?
1. We continue up and life is good (except for the next batch I have to roll)
2. We tank and I own SVXY. By using spreads it really doesn’t matter how low it goes. In fact, the lower the better. Wherever it ends up I’ll be getting the stock at a basis 12.25 above wherever it’s trading at the time. (sold the original call for 2.75 and the spread is 15 wide)
ATHN earnings
#Earnings #ShortStrangles – Finally out of the entire position. Great earnings day in this and ISRG…decks are clear for next week now.
Bought to Close ATHN OCT 20 2017 106.0/129.0 Strangles @ .25 (sold for 2.35)
WYNN
#ShortStrangles – Rolling these again. Sold against Nov monthly 130 calls…
Rolled WYNN OCT 20 2017 152.5 Puts to NOV 3 2017 152.5 Puts @ 1.46 credit
ATHN earnings
#Earnings #ShortStrangles – Pushing the limits on the call side so still watching. I’ll switch to puts and roll it out if it stays strong. Closing the puts while waiting…
Bought to Close ATHN OCT 20 2017 106.0 Puts @ .05
CELG
#ShortPuts #IRA – Thanks @jsd501 !

#Earnings #ShortStrangles – Closing this while I’ve got a chance. Last time I did an earnings trade on this one I pushed my luck on the call side and had to fight it for 6 months…
Bought to Close ISRG OCT 20 2017 340.0/375.0 Strangles @ .85 (sold for 3.55)
ATHN earnings
#Earnings #ShortStrangles – First time ever in this ticker. Expected move of 9.75 but seems to exceed the move a lot of the time. Staying small…
Sold ATHN OCT 20 2017 106.0/129.0 Strangles @ 2.35
ISRG earnings
#Earnings #ShortStrangles – Got out of this a couple weeks ago. Had so much fun I’m heading back in…
Sold ISRG OCT 20 2017 340.0/375.0 Strangles @ 3.55 (expected move of 14.05)
Earnings…
ATHN – Big IV
ISRG – Probably selling some puts…it’s a lot more reasonable after the 3 for 1 split.
PYPL – Watching but not sure…very extended like many others
SKX – Cheap with bigIV so maybe worth a shot…love the shoes. Golf shoes, regular tennis shoes, and work shoes all SKX. 🙂 🙂
VZ – Yuck…no premium
WYNN
#ShortStrangles – WYNN does this nearly every quarter with the earnings date. I’ve got puts I need to roll and TOS estimates earnings on Nov 1st. Last quarter I rolled based on that and then they moved it up a week and I was instantly losing on the roll as the IV popped. Looks to me based on the last few dates it will be next week and TOS will be wrong again. Would be nice if it changes before I’m forced to roll…
TEVA
#CoveredCalls – Sold TEVA NOV 3 2017 15.5 Calls @ .32

GWW
#ShortPuts #IRA – Following @Iceman …. just a couple strikes higher.
Sold 1 GWW APR 20 2018 160.0 Put @ 3.80
ISRG fat finger
#CoveredCalls – Was long stock covered by next week’s 301.67 calls. Was entering an order to close the entire position at 301.50…willing to give up 17 cents to free up the cash a week early and to not have to hold over earnings. Forgot to adjust the darn price and was filled at 300.88. Ended up costing myself 62 cents but with a basis of 299.13 it’s still a winner.
Had this position on for a long time since a previous earnings play where the call side got demolished on a gap and run. Happy to be out and satisfied with the long grinding comeback!
AAPL
#LongCallDiagonals – Watching this week’s 157.5’s to hopefully expire. Selling new batch a couple weeks out and before earnings…
Sold AAPL OCT 27 2017 160.0 Calls @ .80
SVXY
#CoveredCalls – Keeping a little stock for at least a couple more weeks…
Rolled SVXY OCT 13 2017 93.0 Calls to OCT 27 2017 94.0 Calls @ .59 credit

AAOI

Bought to Close AAOI OCT 20 2017 60.0 Calls @ .05 (rolling this profit into my stock basis)
Sold AAOI OCT 20 2017 48.0 Calls @ 1.20
Selling these a little under my basis but should be able to roll up into earnings if needed…
NVDA
#ShortStrangles – Rolling up the put side for some extra premium. Looks like she wants to break out to new highs…. Thanks @geewhiz112 for the reminder!
Rolled NVDA NOV 3 2017 165.0 Puts to NOV 3 2017 180.0 Puts @ 1.60 credit.
New position is NOV 3rd 180.0/215.0 Strangles @ 5.11 credit (this is still the week before earnings)

VXX adjustment
#LongPutDiagonals – Here’s the latest…adjusting the front month put sales that have (or will be) capping gains.
1. Closed one third of the position using the cash brought in from front month sales. This will open up that part of the 2019 position to continue lower towards zero.
Bought to Close VXX JAN 19 2018 38.0 Puts @ 6.68
2. Rolled the other two thirds of the put positions out and down to 2019.
Rolled VXX JAN 19 2018 38.0 Puts to VXX JAN 18 2019 28.0 Puts @ .31 credit
I made this adjustment after this conversation with TDA this morning:
——————————————————-
10:24 fuzzball: Quick question…any idea when the VXX 2020 LEAPS will be coming out?
10:30 SeanF_TOS: Hello, at the latest I would anticipate them to be issued once the Jan 2018 options expire
10:30 SeanF_TOS: usually they expire the 2018 ones then list the next set the following monday
10:31 fuzzball: Makes sense. I noticed the AAPL 2020’s were already trading. I’m sure it varies from ticker to ticker.
10:34 SeanF_TOS: Yeah they could potentially list them earlier based on trading demand. Exactly there isn’t an exact science to it, we’re usually good at keeping up and putting them on the platform the same day they get listed, but if you ever see them on cboe’s website as available to quote and we don’t have them let us know and we’ll get them listed by the next business day.
10:35 fuzzball: Thanks!
10:35 SeanF_TOS: You’re welcome! Have a great day!
——————————————————–
So…as soon as the 2020’s come out I’ll be rolling the puts again out and down and probably setting up another batch of synthetic short positions above them. Those (the 2020’s) will be capped to the downside again but the much larger 2019 position will be free to run all the way down.
T
#FallingKnife #IRA – Could be a long term hold. Dividend over 5 percent now with the selloff.
Sold T APR 20 2018 35.0 Puts @ 1.47
AVGO adjustment
#ShortStrangles – Rolling up the put side for additional credit. Original sale was just below the 200 ma. Rolling up to just below the 50 ma.
Rolled AVGO NOV 10 2017 225.0 Put to NOV 10 2017 240.0 Put @ 2.03 credit
New position is Nov 10 240.0/260.0 @ 6.48 credit
AMZN
#LongCallDiagonals – Taking advantage of high IV in earnings week and rolling my front month as high as I can for even. Weekly squeeze and looking like it’s ready to run…
Rolled AMZN OCT 20 2017 975.0 Call to AMZN OCT 27 2017 1000.0 Call @ .13 credit
Almost right back where the whole thing started but…front month premium received of 44.50 during the dip.
SBH and ULTA
#FallingKnife – I’d say SBH is there and ULTA may not be far behind. More AMZN victims?
TLT
#ShortStrangles – Got a little wiggle in TLT on the Fed minutes and my standing order filled. Increasing position size slightly on this #PerpetualRollingStrangles position.
Sold TLT DEC 15 2017 121.0/129.0 Strangles @ 1.55
HIMX lottery ticket
#SyntheticStock #IRA -For lack of anything better to do I’m putting on a cheap long shot that a buddy of mine has been talking about for awhile. It caught a downgrade this morning so pulling back enough for an entry.
Going synthetic long stock with the 2019 LEAPS and buying protection slightly below that. With the skew the initial position was only a .06 debit. Selling front month calls also a couple weeks out.
Bought to Open HIMX JAN 18 2019 10.0 Calls @ 2.49
Sold to Open HIMX JAN 18 2019 10.0 Puts @ 2.99
Bought to Open HIMX JAN 18 2019 5.0 Puts @ .56
That’s .06 out of pocket but still a 5 dollar downside risk if this thing goes to zero….(you never know)
Then:
Sold to Open HIMX OCT 27 2017 10.0 Calls @ .25
Capping my upside slightly but even if HIMX goes nowhere and the front months average .10 it’s still a nice winner by the end of the run…
UVXY
DGX
#FallingKnife – Sold 1 DGX May 18 2018 80.0 Put @ 2.20
From FINVIZ….oversold
There were a few more but they were less than 5 bucks so not interested. DGX seemed to have the most potential here.
$DGX (looks interesting)

GIS
#ShortPuts #IRA – Using @Iceman ‘s idea on K but using GIS since I’m a Cheerios fan. 🙂 🙂 This would be a long term hold if I get the stock…
Sold 2 GIS Apr 20 2018 47.5 Puts @ 1.62
AZO
#ShortPuts #IRA -Looks like she might be rolling over after a nice run. Held this all the way through the dip so finally booking it and freeing up a ton of margin…
Bought to Close AZO DEC 15 2017 500.0 Put @ 4.40 (sold for 10.00)
AAPL
#LongCallDiagonals – Looks like a 155 pin today. Not gonna quite get it all so selling slightly higher next week…

Sold AAPL OCT 13 2017 157.5 Calls @ .40

Sold UVXY JUN 15 2018 25.0/35.0 Bear Call Spreads @ 1.21
EFX
#ShortPuts #IRA – Played the bounce on this thing in a couple different accounts. Pretty happy capturing over half of max in all cases. Going flat now and will be looking for an earnings trade on it.
Bought to Close 1 EFX Apr 20 2018 55.0 Put @ .75 (sold for 2.25)
Bought to Close 1 EFX Apr 20 2018 60.0 Put @ .91 (sold for 2.20)
SPY hedge
#RocketManHedge – Been thinking about this for awhile. Having a great year with account at all time highs. Don’t really want anything crazy to mess up a good year so I’ve been looking at some hedges out towards end of year. Looked at SPX, /ES, VIX, and SPY.
Finally decided on SPY with a synthetic short with defined risk to the upside and protection all the way to zero. It was then just a matter of how much insurance to get. I’m already hedged on a lot of my stuff but there is still some risk there if Rocket Man pulls anything crazy.
Here’s the details:
Sell to Open 2 SPY DEC 15 2017 253.0 Calls @ 4.28
Buy to Open 2 SPY DEC 15 2017 253.0 Puts @ 4.24
Then to cap upside risk:
Buy to Open SPY DEC 15 2017 254.0 Calls @ 3.65
Cost of trade $722 with max loss of $922
Max gain of $49,878 (protection to zero)
Breakeven of SPY 249.39
Questions, comments, criticisms always welcome!
AVGO
#ShortStrangles – Haven’t been in this one in awhile…selling well before earnings.
Sold AVGO NOV 10 2017 225.0/260.0 Strangle @ 4.45
TSLA
#ShortStrangles – Some “expert” gave it a $500 price target this morning so it’s breaking above the 50ma. Rolling my entire strangle up to slightly in the money.
Rolled Oct 20th 345/355 Short Strangle to Oct 20th 360/365 Strangle @ 1.50 credit.
Total premium received is now 15.90 so new breakeven is 344.1 – 380.9
Interesting volatility site…

VXX
#LongPutDiagonals #SyntheticShortStock – Rolling the whole position for now. On this one looking at maybe later on rolling half to 2019 ITM call spreads @ even (possibly around a 20/30 BeCS) and just regular rolling the other half.
Rolled VXX OCT 20 2017 42.0 Puts to JAN 19 2018 38.0 Puts @ .80 credit
UVXY
The #LongPutDiagonals may be slightly disappointing with their performance but these sure aren’t!
Bought to Close UVXY OCT 20 2017 50.0/65.0 Bear Call Spreads @ .08 (sold for 1.20)
UVXY
#LongPutDiagonals #SyntheticShortStock – Taking my medicine on this one…tired of looking at it. Spending some of the front month premium received to roll way out and down.
Rolled UVXY JAN 19 2018 20.0 Puts to JAN 18 2019 10.0 Puts @ 1.47 debit.
Weekly puts had brought in 2.87 so leaving 1.40 in credit on these which caps my gains to the downside at 8.60.
So…synthetic short at 30.00 with max gain capped at 21.40 points with UVXY below 8.60 on the downside.
21.40 max gain minus the cost of the trade of 16.30 leaving a gain of 5.10 per spread. Ok but not great. It was done in a big enough size to definitely make it worthwhile. I think @vxxkelly has the right idea on this one…set it and look at it again in a year without messing with any front month positions.
Hey…what can I say?…LOL It was an experiment that hopefully everyone that tried it makes a little with almost zero stress in the trade!

AAPL
#LongCallDiagonals #SyntheticStock -Yesterday…been waiting for some sort of a pullback to get in this long term Whiz style. With the 2020 Leaps now available and the stock dropping a little I put on a starter position at one third size. Hoping to get some chances to add…possibly closer to the 200ma.
Bought to Open AAPL JAN 17 2020 155.0 strike #SyntheticStock (buy the calls and sell the puts)
Bought to Open AAPL JAN 17 2020 145.0 Put for disasters (I would take put profits and add to the long position)
Net debit of 19.20 for the Jan 2020 position.
Sold AAPL OCT 6 2017 155.0 Calls @ .95
With 120 weeks to run only need to sell .16 per week to cover the cost. Any more than that goes to the bottom line even if AAPL goes nowhere. Worse case scenario would be they discover iPhones cause cancer and the stock goes to zero. Max loss at that point would be 29.20. To offset that scenario a weekly sale of .24 will be needed.
Edited for clarity of synthetic stock…

October Surprise
#SyntheticShort – Just throwing this out there…
Whiz, FWIW, is really getting concerned about the market going into October. I understand he’s always trying to act like a big shot know it all guy but supposedly his connections he still has in the Navy from his Top Gun days are getting worried. He says…”something is coming” and it’s gonna be bad. Obviously he says he may be wrong but who knows.
He’s throwing around all sorts of hedge ideas but most have about 5k risk for limited protection (unless outright buying of puts). I threw this idea out there to him and waiting for a response. How’s this look for a hedge that will work all the way to zero for limited risk? It’s similar to just buying the puts but with little to nothing out of pocket up front.
How about synthetic short Nov SPX at 2500 (sell call and buy put). Then buy a protective call at 2550 in case we get a rip your face off rally. Net cost out of pocket of about a buck. This hedge should make money all the way to SPX zero with max loss capped at 2550 to the upside. What am I missing? Still risking the usual 5 grand but with unlimited protection to the downside. Sort of a reverse long call diagonal but on a much shorter time frame…

Currently sitting at Oct 20th 345/365 @ 9.05…
This is still in the week before earnings. Saving earnings week in case a roll into high IV is needed.

UVXY
#LongPutDiagonals – She’s tanking and I’m rolling. The next one will be to 2019 if needed.
Rolled UVXY OCT 20 2017 26.0 Puts to JAN 19 2018 20.0 Puts @ .13 credit
Also:
With these short puts providing some upside protection for a possible volatility spike (yea right… 🙂 ) I’m rolling up the 2019 disaster calls for a credit. Slightly increases max loss if UVXY spikes to 60 and stays there until 2019 🙂
Rolled UVXY JAN 18 2019 40.0 Calls to JAN 18 2019 55.0 Calls @ 1.15 credit. This in effect lowers the cost of the initial trade entry.
So what’s the big picture? I eventually will have to roll these front month short puts to 2019…probably around a 10 strike. They’ve brought in a total of 3.00 so far…
Synthetically short at 30 so using 10 as a target that’s 20 points of gains. Trade entry was 16.30 debit so max gain is looking like 20.00 – 16.30 + 3.00 + residual value of disaster calls when I decide to close the trade. So possibly a 10 point winner if I’m lucky. Not what I had hoped but still a position that had a low enough risk that it allowed me in at a decent size. I think Jeff is right…just buy the puts and wait with the occasional scalp of a front month…or just synthetic short with a very loose disaster call (based on account size and appetite for risk) and not even sell any front month.
Overall it’ll be a good trade. Happy with the experiment. It’s just hard to fight the never ending lack of volatility.
