TQQQ Bought to close 8/03 63 Put @ .05. I have an order to open 8/10 @ 1.00. See how the day goes.
Morning all
#shortputs
$P Closed my Aug 8 Puts at .05 for a small .10 profit. A nice lunch with a beer.
$IQ That didn’t work out so well. Bought to close my 32.50 Puts @ 2.80. A 2.30 loss. Just a wrong move on so many levels. May have to go on a diet and skip that lunch.
#ShortPuts Afternoon all. I didn’t…
#ShortPuts Afternoon all. I didn’t get to post these yesterday as the current spate of storms kept knocking the power out. With more on the way I decided I had better remedy my deficiency.
Yesterday I sold Aug 03 8 Puts on P @ 0.15. It looks like Pandora might make for a decent PIE trade on a weekly basis. So I’m giving it a whorl.
Sold Aug 03 32.50 Puts on IQ @ 0.50. Crappy timing. I will roll this out.
I was assigned the second MU Aug 03rd 58 Put. Now if it can crawl out of the gutter life would be grand.
#Coveredcalls. Out for the morning….
#Coveredcalls. Out for the morning. Came back to more selling. Closed NUGT 8/03 24 C @ .04, ROKU 8/03 49 C @ 0.13, DBX 8/03 33 C @ .03. All for small profits which off set the DOCU puts below.
#ShortPut Bought to close DOCU 8/17 50 Put @ 2.02. for a 0.87 loss. Violated my Alert on the Puts at 2.00.
DOCU All righty I’m a…
DOCU All righty I’m a sucker. Try again here. Sold DOCU 8/18 50 Puts @ 1.15 when DOCU was at 53.70.
FAS Now this is startling….
FAS Now this is startling. Bought to close my 7/27 71 Calls @ .05. Sold long stock @ 70.60. A rare success for the week. Big sigh.
Morning all
Doing a bit of damage control, adjustments.
Rolled MU 58 Put out to Aug 03rd 58 P for .20 credit
Early assigned 100 MU at 58. Sold Aug 17th 58 Call @ .85
Bought to close Roku 46 Call yesterday @ 3.20. Man was that a stupid move. Trying to cover it up. No takers
I’m thinking my FAS will be called away @ 71 unless…. Assigned a 67 on 6/30.
Small position in TWTR covered with 7/27 47 Calls. Painful none the less. Will be selling calls to get back to even.
Hope your day is going well.

ROKU #Coveredcalls With ROKU down…
ROKU #Coveredcalls With ROKU down at the 20dma and possibly poised to go lower I bought to close my 7/27 50 calls @ .15, originally sold for 1.15 and sold the 7/27 46 calls @ 1.18. My original entry on the stock was 46 back on 6/30 from an assignment. I will probably take assignment here if it happens and look to sell Puts lower down on the food chain.

$SQ Sold my long Aug 3rd Calls at 2.66. I had raised my stop/alert to 2.80 after the bounce last Friday. Maybe too tight on the stop.
$NVDA Closed my #Supercharger @ 6.35 with NVDA @ 243.57 . Hit my alert at 6.50. Entered at 7.50. I may reenter nearer the end of the day. See how things go.

DOCU Closed my 1 short 7/20 55 Put for 3.20. Taking that 1.00 loss to avoid deeper risk. Miss managed this earlier when it was 40% profitable. Hadn’t hit the 50% target so I waited……That didn’t turn out so well.

Morning Scanning through SMM growth…
Morning Scanning through SMM growth list and took a look at $GRUB. Earnings are 7/25 Before according to ToS. There is no press release on the web site. They have weeklies and ATM premiums are about 5% or better for all of August and higher beyond. Once earnings are passed this might make a good PIE trade or other approaches. Something to look at and consider. The options are thin.

TQQQ #ShortPut bought to close July 20th 60 Put @ .40 when TQQQ hit 64.80. Sold 7/11 for 1.00. I’m debating the wisdom of selling the 7/20 62 or 63 with TQQQ at the top of the channel and NDX at ATH. Best to wait or find something else.

#supercharger Morning all. I started to put together a document of the various trades strategies being used here to help out my aging brain. Sort of a Cliff Notes of Option Bistro. I thank you in advance for your replies and taking the time from your busy days.
In the #Supercharger strategy it was mentioned that the long call should have minimal time value left. Would such an option, say 21 days to OpEx be around a 90 delta? What would be recommended methods to manage the position when things go south. And lastly is there a preferred timeframe. That looks to be 20 to 45 DTE and is obviously trader specific. Thank you again
