I am out of all my bullish trades on this ETF. I picked up nice premiums and rolled for better strikes as well. Nice to be in cash right now. About 63% cash and still have a bearish trade on the TQQQ which I am under water on. I think it will be okay as I only need .25 cents per week and the expiration is in January 2019. There are a lot of good traders here and thank all of you for great ideas as well. Now if we could get the TQQQ down to the $40 level I can get back in.
Also, thanks to these trades I have made back 50% of my loss on the SVXY so far.

Yesterday I bought the 1780/1790 call spread that expires today for 5.60 and sold it for 9.90 this morning. I could have just let it expire today but I will let someone else make the .10 cents. The market feels a bit uneasy today.
