#SPX1dte Sold to Open $SPX Nov 15th 3050/3025 put spreads for 1.75, IV 9.37%, SPX close 3087
Sold this after the bell. I was wrong about a rally today but still think we have higher to go before this peters out.
Expiring today: 3065/3046 put credit spread and 3110/3125 call debit spread, trades placed Friday for net credit of .40.
#Earnings Sold to close final $UVXY Jan 2020 20 puts for 4.75. Avg purchase price 1.85. Still holding long $VXX 20 puts.
The Good, Expiring worthless:
$SPX Nov 8th 3040/3060-3110/3130 condors, sold yesterday for .80
$DIS Nov 8th 130/128 put spreads, sold yesterday for .65
The Bad, although not Ugly,
$MNST Nov 8th 59/60.5/62 EM call butterfly, bought yesterday for .205
$HUM Nov 8th EM put and call butterflys, bought for .32 total on Tuesday
First time I tried these, both could have been exited for small profit at one point, but I waited to see if I could get more.
#SPX1dte After getting stopped out on call side last Friday and Monday, I am taking a bullish bet for Monday, since yesterday and today SPX was nearly flat. Time for another surge.
Sold to Open $SPX Nov 11th 3065/3045 put spread for .68 credit
Bought to open Nov 11th 3110/3125 call spreads for .28 debit
I did the above as one trade for a .40 credit. If we gap open I will look to sell the call spread early.

#SPX1dte Sold $SPX Oct 30th 2980/3000-3065/3085 condors for 1.10. IV 10.62%, SPX 3038.
IV and premium slightly higher due to FOMC tomorrow, I’m guessing.

#SPX1dte Issue finally resolved and orders went through. Lucky for all of us, SPX moved in a straight line while this was happening. Otherwise, there would have been millions of dollars of claims against IB. I imagine there still will be a mess, but fortunately I got out for less that I originally would have.
Bought to close $SPX Oct 28th 3045 calls for 1.60. Condors sold for .45 on Friday.
I’m going to look for a spike higher to sell the 3055 long calls.
#SPX1dte . I’m unable to trade on $SPX with Interactive Brokers. I have passed my stop level, trying to close the calls on my 1-dte. Been on the phone, but they say there’s an issue with the exchange and they can’t get any orders through. This should be interesting.
#SPX1dte Sold $SPX Oct 28th 2975/2985-3045/3055 condors for .45, 10-wide, double size, IV 5.80%, SPX 3021.
Expiring, Oct 25th 2950/2970-3030/3050, sold yesterday for .80.
#VIXindicator The Upside Warning coming through this time, with $VIX hitting lowest level since July 29th. $SPX came within .59 of all-time high earlier today.
#Earnings . BTC $AMZN #IronButterfly for for 21.46. Sold yesterday for 27.00. Nice when these work.
#VXXGame . Sold to close partial $UVXY Jan 2020 long 20 puts for 3.75. Avg price on purchase, 1.85. Holding others for better price. Also have larger amount of VXX Jan 20 puts, avg price 1.30. Now going for 2.55… will start selling these soon.
#Earnings . Sold to close $BUD Oct25/Nov01 92 put calendar for .01. #DoubleCalendar bought yesterday for .58. Leaving the call side to expire/lottery ticket.
Also, sold to close $SKX Oct 25th 37.5 #LongStraddle for .39. Bought for 4.39 on Tuesday. That was a bad one. Shitty week for earnings trade on my end.

#Earnings . Sold $AMZN Oct 25th 1745/1775/1805 #IronButterfly for 27.00. Risking 3.00 to make, hopefully a lot.
This is a classic play I’ve done probably a dozen times. It worked nicely in Q1, with a 20.00 profit. But often, it can be max loss, which tomorrow would be 3.00. Used to get these for closer to 28.00, but times have changed; probably the higher stock price to blame.

#SPX1dte Today I said to myself, nothing is happening so I might as well sell the 1-day trade early. Immediately after the fill, something happened. Now that daily trade news has quieted, we get to worry about Brexit again?
My spread was tight to begin with, so really can’t withstand even a little volatility. I was looking for the bounce to make it okay, but we fell again and are within expected move.
BTC $SPX Oct 23rd 2985/2965 put spreads for 2.50, after the bell. Condors sold for .90 about 100 minutes earlier. I’ll leave call side to expire.
I was going to leave the 3-day put spread to fight another day, but the end of the day was too ugly, then it just got worse after the bell.
BTC $SPX 2990/2965 put spreads for 6.25. Sold for 3.45 earlier today.
Upside Warning gave us a little this time around; hopefully it’s not done but I ain’t betting on it after the last few weeks.
Not filled yet but closing the 1-dte put side before the 4:15pm cut off
#SPX1dte Sold $SPX Oct 23rd 2965/2985-3035/3050 condors for .90, IV: 8.25%, SPX 3012
