At least my short 12.50 puts for this week will expire.

Never thought I would have to roll this after TQQQ started out at 127 yesterday morning.
Bought to close 1 TQQQ 08/20/2021 135.0 Diagonal Call at $0.58. Sold this on Wednesday at $1.12

The strike is right at the VXX high for the last month.

Bought to close 1 AMC Aug 20 2021 38 Call at $0.02. Sold last Friday at $1.12.

Replaced it with VXX Aug 27 2021 31.0 Calls at $0.48.

My expiring 29, 29.5, 30, 30.5 and 31 short calls look safe now

Bought to close TQQQ Aug 20 2021 120.0 Put Net at $0.02 (partial position). Sold Monday at $0.40

Rolled this week’s 52.0 Put to next week’s 50.0 Put for $0.15 Credit
Rolled this week’s 53.0 Put to next week’s 51.0 Put for $0.40 Credit.

I guess I pulled the trigger too soon on the strike 50’s earlier and probably on these too 😦

Also the TNA roll was early too.

I said these would be easy to roll:
Bought to Close 1 TNA Aug 20 2021 79.0 Put / Sold to Open 1 TNA Aug 27 2021 75.0 Put at $0.05 Credit
Bought to Close 1 LABU Aug 20 2021 50.0 Put / Sold to Open 1 LABU Sep 03 2021 45.0 Put at $0.15 Credit.
(Why are there no strike prices available in LABU below 50 except for the strike 45?? What about a 49 or 48?)

Market Breath trend is disturbing
