Morning all. The quest for the holy tile grail was a success. Not so much that risk off SPX call spread I closed before I headed out. Win some loose some.
$SVXY #ShortPuts Bought to close my Oct 27th 65 Puts at .03 and used the freed up capital in my Roth to sell to open Nov 17th 85 Puts for 1.80. I have an order to close the 75 Puts at .05 to do a similar deal. I hate giving money to ToS if I can avoid it.

Morning all $SPX #spxcampaign STO Oct 31st 2485/2460 BuPS for 1.05 when SPX was at 2552.88. 19 days to OpEx. Stop if Mark hits 2.00. Profit target 80% or mark at 0.20. Lets hope this doesn’t turn into a Halloween Horror. I have been trying 5 Delta short Puts per the class I took but just can’t get filled. I suspect there just are not many buyers/sellers at this level in the chain. So I elected to move the Delta up, -13 and was filled immediately which is in itself not so good either. Anyway I have a plan, my inner demons have been tamed a bit. And to quote the Late Great Paul Harvey ….. “That is the rest of the story.”

Sold to open Oct 27th 2585/2565/2320/2300 Iron Condor for 1.15 when SPX was at 2507.18. This is a class styled trade that I am studying. I put the order on this morning but wasn’t filled until the afternoon spike.
$AAOI Bought to close my…
$AAOI Bought to close my Sept 29th 55Puts for 0.05. Originally sold for 1.70. One member at SMM has been commenting that Schwab ahs been pressing to borrow his shares and keeps upping the offer. I don’t know how that works. Never been in that position but it gives me a pause. Why the premiums are so juicy and what is coming down the pike. Earnings are estimated to be beginning of Nov. I may sell an Oct 06th 60 or 55 Put. Any opinions out there?

Filled shortly before the bell after making a small price adjustment down from 2.60. The very short term class was very interesting but I think I’m am not set up for that intensity.

$MOMO
Different verse. Same as the first. Bought to close Aug 11th 42 Put @ 0.70. Originally sold @ 1.15. I may be early but the weakness is a concern and I don’t want to see a small profit turn into another Tums Ticker.

#ShortPuts Sold to open Aug 25th 75 Puts @ 1.25 with $SVXY @ 90.36 I’m giving this a bit more time than usual for me as I will be away for a good chunk of August.
$AMZN
Sold Aug 11th 1050/1040 BeCS @ 0.80 when $AMZN was at 999.22. Dan had suggested that $AMZN would have a difficult time working back up after the earnings miss. So I’m using this short term trade as part of my class practice.
$AAOI
BTC Aug 11th 65 Puts @ .50. Originally sold @ 2.55 Earnings 8/3 After market. I may re-enter depending on the earnins results. I like the Sept Puts that were sold yesterday. Maybe I will get in today. I will let it dwell a bit.
