$SVXY #CoveredCalls #OptionLadder – with the trades listed below, I’m done selling SVXY calls for the week …. I think. I’ve now replaced all the short calls that expired last week at substantially higher strike prices for the next few weekly cycles. Even a sharp pullback in SVXY should not hurt me at this point.
I’ll be looking to scalp short puts at 51 or below for this week if the opportunity presents itself.

$CMG #ShortStrangles – after yesterday’s sharp drop below 440, I decided that I had made enough in my CMG trades and closed out a position that was very expensive to carry. I made money on both sides of the strangle.
Bought to close CMG JAN 20 2017 380.0 Puts @ 19.50 – sold these a while back @ 20.50
Bought to close CMG MAY 20 2016 470.0 Calls @ 0.50 – sold these last Friday at 2.54
I’m now completely out of CMG for the first time since last December.
