BTC January 2019, 40 puts @2.40, sold at 2.60. I want to free up some margin.

STO November 30, 51 covered calls @.48 cents. Still chipping away at this position.

I rolled my 61 calls in December 21 to the 49 calls in December 21 for a credit of 3.85, I will roll if I have to.

I forgot to post. I STO the 50 calls @ .98 cents to replace the 54 calls that expired on Friday.

I bought to close the January 40 puts @ 1.25 which is where I sold them. I am trying to close all my positions at my cost if I can. I feel that with the FED raising rates, the market is vulnerable and the damage done to the market means to me that we are no longer in a bull market. I will keep my position in the TQQQ and write short dated  covered calls against my 2021 60 calls.

Rolled November 2, 72 calls to November 16, 75 calls for a credit of .47 cents. I own the 115 calls in 2021.

Sold to open February 300 calls At 3.60

Last night I was assigned early on the November 14  shares at 90.00. I will be writing covered calls.
