Taking more risk off the table and freeing up more margin. Fidelity now makes me put up 100% cash on these.

BTC September 16, 33 puts @0.05, sold @1.80

BTC September 2, 58 puts @0.10, sold @2.80

BTC September 16, 31 puts @.05, sold @1.50

BTC September 16, 30 puts @.05 sold @1.30 not much more to make on these and does free up capital.

Finally breaking below the trading level of the past 2 weeks. How low can we go? Let’s get that VIX up and away.

BTC September 2, 57 puts @0.10

We are still in the trading range of 70 to 74 that we have been in for the last 2 weeks. I don’t have anything to do today so may go to the gym early. The VIX is still in contango.

My last one. BTC August 19 55 call and STO December 60 call for a credit of 0.80 cents

BTC August 19, 56 call and STO December 62 call for a credit of 0.40 cents.

On the weekly chart I see a head and shoulders bottom that measures up to 95/100. Just my humble opinion and I have been wrong before.

BTC August 26, 50 puts @0.05 with no commission. It was sold @2.33  and that is the last of my exposure on that date.

BTC August 19, 57 call and STO December 57 call even @ 13.44

I sold the balance of my December 85 calls this morning from 5.20 to 5.30 and this completes my covered call position. If the FED does not raise rates I may get called away and if it does nothing I get to keep the premium. Either way, I will be happy.

BTC August 26, 60 calls, STO December 70 calls for a credit of 0.50 cents.

BTC August 18 58 calls and STO December 68 calls even, just commissions.

STO September 23, 50 puts @1.15, I expect to be called out of some of my positions this week so replacing some near the 200 day MA.

August 19

BTC 61 call, STO 71 December call for a 0.50 cent credit.

STO covered calls, December 85 calls @6.50

SVXY 40 puts sold @1.70

I think it is safe to say I am not going to be assigned on this one.

STO December 85 calls @6.00 adding to my covered call positions

STO December 85 calls @6.00

BTC August 19, 59 calls, STO December 69 calls for a credit of 0.15 cents.

BTC August 26, 38 puts @0.05 sold @0.85

BTC August 26, 45 puts @0.05 sold @1.80

Not much more to be made so free up some margin.

STO December 85 calls @6.00

STO December 37 puts @1.90

Sold to open December 85 calls @6.50

STO  September 9, 55 put @1.40 on 2 contracts.

BTC August 19, 60 calls and STO December 70 calls for a credit of 0.25 cents.

STO September 23, 58 put @2.70 to replace some of the puts that expired on Friday. I think this could get to 90 or 95 if the FED does nothing before the end of the year.

STO December 85 calls @5.30

STO December calls:

85 calls @3.60

90 calls @2.60

STO September 2, 57 put @2.60 and 58 put @2.80

STO December 35 put @2.10

STO August 12, 60 put @1.50 on 2 contracts.

Rolled August 26,  65 covered calls out to September 68 strike even.

STO September 16, 39 puts @1.10

STO September 16, 45 puts @1.85

I have a few expirations tomorrow and the are far out of the money so I want to replace some of that exposure.

STO August 12, 50 puts @1.05

STO August 12, 50 puts @1.05

Only 3 expirations this week.

SVXY  45 put in an IRA

SVXY 40 put

SVXY 45 put

If we can get a close above 65, I see the possibility of 85 to 90 as long as the FED is stable until the end of the year. FD, I have been wrong before.
