Sold to open $AMAT Aug 6 130/120 bull put spread @ 2.45. Stock pulled back to support this morning and is bouncing. Earnings anticipated mid August so the 8/6 expiration looks safe.

Everything okay with you and yours up in Portland? It’s supposed to be “cooling down” to only 96 today.

Small position (1 contract). Sold Jul 16 40/145 strangle @ 9.67.

Sold to open $TLT Jul 16 145/150 bear call spread @ 1.30

I didn’t like the close today for my bearish SPY trade so I took it off for a loss in the extended hours session. Sold $SPY Jun 25 420 puts @ 2.05. Bought for 2.87 on Friday.

Gap up into resistance and fading. With market at its highs looking for a bit of a pullback. Bought $SPY 6/25 420 puts @ 2.87. Will take off if the market does its recent Friday up thing in the afternoon but if not I will probably leave over the weekend to hedge for a Monday move down.

Just sold the last of the 6/11+6/18 400 put calendar @ 6.00 for 200% profit on this lot. Scaled out in 4 tranches with an average overall profit of 140%. I’ll take this any time. Thanks again for the awesome trade idea @Hawk!

Sold 6/11+6/18 400 put calendar @ 5.00 for 150% profit on this lot. I have now taken 60% of my position off and will hopefully be completely out by later today or tomorrow. It’s been a terrific trade, thank you @Hawk.

Looking for some consolidation for a few days here after this runup. Sold to open $GME Jun 4 180/190/300/310 iron condor @ 2.40 with the stock around 240. A bonus day of time decay with the short week next week.

Bought to close $IWM Jun 18 203/210/242/249 iron condor @ 2.05 for 50% of the profit (sold for 2.10)

Bought to close $AXP May 21 135 puts @ .44. Sold for 1.35 on Friday.

It looks like the selloff after this morning’s gap may be over. Sold $SNAP May 21 45/53/65/72 iron condor @ 1.86. The wings are uneven (8 wide on the put side/7 wide on the call side) only because of strike availability in the May monthly expiration.

Sold to open $AXP 5/21 135 puts @ 1.35. Post-earnings with IV still elevated.

Sold $JMIA 5/21 20/25/40/45 iron condor @ 1.58 with the stock at 30.15. Short puts are much closer than short calls but because of call skew this is more delta neutral/slightly bullish.

Bought to close 2/12 45/50/55 iron fly @ 1.85, taking a 2.00 profit out. Should have closed earlier today and got lucky.

$CGC has been sold off hard with the sector, down over 20% today. IV high (rank 42). I would normally sell short puts below support here as selling momentum has slowed with the stock around 41. The 50 day moving average is around 32-33 so looking at strikes below that. Mar 30 puts have a delta of 14. I could have sold them for 1.30-1.35 but that would eat up a lot of buying power so I’m doing a really wide bull put spread to function as a synthetic short put, selling 3/19 30/20 bull put spread for 1.17, giving up just a bit to cut the buying power by 70%.
