Borrowing an idea from TastyTrade. Sold $EWW 3/20 45/48 strangle @ 1.20.

With IV still elevated post earnings, sold $WYNN 3/20 120/110 bull put spread @ 2.43. Possibly early on this but strike is below the January lows and the 200 day moving average. If I’m wrong I will close this quickly.

Sold $NFLX 2/21 395 calls (covered by stock) @ 1.75. Delta 14.

$BA the short calls from my 2/21 iron condor (290/300/340/350) just got breached with the stock up nicely today. I rolled the 300/290 bull put spread up to 340/330 for 3.73 credit to create an iron butterfly with the call spread. A pretty aggressive roll to near the money but this is a strong move up through the 50 day moving average on volume. Total premium taken on now 6.31 against 10 point wide wings. If the move continues I will roll to March.

Bought to close 3/20 184 call @ .85. Sold for 2.75 on 1/31.

Sold $TSLA 3/20 900/920 bear call spread @ 4.00

Bought to close:
$NUGT 6/19 47 call @ 1.51. Sold for 3.85 on 12/24.
$NUGT 6/19 51 call @ 1.17. Sold for 4.00 on 12/30.

Sold $UNH 3/20 250 puts @ 4.50. Strike price is below the 200 day moving average.

Sold $AAPL 3/20 300/290 bull put spread @ 2.25

Sold $AMZN 2/21 2140/2180 bear call spread @ 5.48.

Up almost 10% after reporting

Sold $PYPL 3/20 125 calls @ 1.25. Covered by long stock. Strike price is at 23 delta and is above the all time high in the stock so I’m comfortable getting called out of my shares if it gets that high. But it would still have to eat through quite a bit of resistance to get there.

Sold $FB 3/20 200/190 bull put spread @ 1.96

I didn’t see this earlier but in going through the activity I see that I was filled on selling $HES 3/20 52.50 puts @ 1.15. With more downside tomorrow am I might add the 50 puts if the premium goes over $1.

Sold $EWZ 3/20 42/48 strangle @ 1.29 with the stock around 45. Deltas at 24 on both sides.

Sold $AMD 3/20 42 puts @ 1.20. Delta 23. Stock down today after earnings, currently 47.15. Strike is another 11% lower, well below the 50 day moving average.

Sold $BA 2/21 290/300/340/350 iron condor for 2.58 with the stock at 322.66. Put and call short strikes are 17 and 21.

Sold $UAL 3/20 75/90 strangle @ 2.32 with the stock at 81.77. Delta neutral with the strikes around 21 delta. Will adjust if the stock makes any more big moves.

Bought to close $GUSH 6/19 50 calls @ .70. Sold for 5.20 and 5.50 on 12/31.

Bought to close $EXPE 4/17 75 puts @ .40. Sold for 1.20 on 11/8/19. Taking the nearly 70% profit off the table with still over 3 months to go to expiration.

Trying to get filled on 2/21 129/134/144/149 iron condor @ 1.00.

Looking to potentially back into some stock post-earnings. Sold 2/21 200 put @ 3.07 with the stock at 206.83, bouncing nicely from this morning’s open.

Every time I think the bad news has to be over something else comes out that proves me wrong. But I’m doing a technical trade here with the stock bouncing off its lows and looking to climb back inside the bollinger bands. Sold $BA 1/17 310/300 bull put spread @ 1.52 with the stock now above 328. Short puts at 22 delta. IVR is relatively low (15) so volatility contraction won’t help me here. Need time and hopefully direction to get out of this early.

Bought to close $HD 1/17 205/195 bull put spread @ .34. Sold for 1.89 on 12/3. With a month to go and IV now really low (IVR down to 7), no sense keeping this trade open any longer.

Nice bounce in $ROKU today. Sold 1/17 120/110 bull put spread @ 1.85. IVR 35. Short puts at 21 delta.

Bought to close $SHOP 12/20 345/335 bull put spread @ .35. Sold for 1.92 on 12/4.

Bought to close $ULTA 12/20 275/285 bear call spread @ .17. Sold for 1.75 on 12/6.

Sold $ULTA 12/20 275/285 bear call spread for 1.75 credit. Stock at 264.02 and it looks like it’s slowing its roll a bit from this morning’s craziness.

Sold $SHOP 12/20 345/335 bull put spread @ 1.92. Will get out of it if today’s move doesn’t hold.

Fading today’s big move in bonds which is starting to lose steam. Sold $TLT 1/17/20 142/147 bear call spread @ 1.44. IV rank is 49.

Sold $HD 1/17 205/195 bull put spread @ 1.89.

Sold $UVXY 1/17/20 20/25 bear call spread @ .59

With earnings tomorrow morning, I took a small profit on the $TGT 12/20 105/100 bull put spread. Bought to close @ 1.19. Sold for 1.46 on 11/4.

Just catching up on trades. Filled on this closing order: Bought to close $CMG 12/20 700/690 bull put spread @ .79. Sold for 1.80 on 11/11.

Bought to close $CRWD 12/20 42.50 puts @ .70. Sold for 1.55 on 11/13.

Sold $NVDA 12/20 200 put @ 5.65 with the stock at 205. Looking to potentially acquire some stock for a longer term hold.

Sold $DIS 12/20 155 calls @ .99. Covered by long stock. Delta 20/stock currently at 145.74.

Sold $CRWD 42.50 puts @ 1.55 with the stock at 52.19 up over 11% today. Delta 18. Earnings 12/5 after market so will be watching closely. IV rank 70.

Bought to close $ROKU 12/20 105/95 bull put spread @ .75. Sold for 1.78 on 11/8.

Sold $ROKU 12/20 105/95 bull put spread @ 1.78. Stock at 121.06. Delta of short puts 21.

Sold $EXPE Apr 17 2020 75 puts @ 1.20

Falling off the post earnings high after hitting resistance. Sold $SPOT 12/20 160/170 bear call spread @ 1.40.

Sold $TGT 12/20 105/100 bull put spread @ 1.46 with the stock at 108.89 and looking like it’s bounced off the lower bollinger band, now above the 50dma. Earnings 11/20 so looking for a quick exit here.

Well at least that’s what we used to say 20 years ago. Now…not so much.
Bought to close $BA 11/15 330/320 bull put spread @ .76. Sold for 1.85 on 10/23.

Have long stock from a couple of assignments so taking this opportunity to chip away at the basis. Sold $AA 12/20 24 calls @ .55 with the stock at 21.86.

Bought to close $DRIP 12/20 115 calls @ 3.60. Sold for 8.50 and 10.00 in July.

Been holding this one since July and I probably should have just removed it before earnings and reinitiated. So I’m rolling 11/15 55 puts out to 12/20 55 puts @ .75 credit. I’m also adding short 12/20 55 calls @ 1.24 to create a 55 straddle with the stock around 48.60. Total credit taken in now 3.39 so I’ll be profitable between 51.61 and 58.39 at December expiration. An oversold move back into congestion over the next few weeks will be just fine. Let’s see what happens.

Sold $BA 11/15 330/320 bull put spread @ 1.85

Bought to close $ROKU 10/18 130/140/155/165 iron condor @ 3.73. Overall profit on rolled/adjusted position:
-Original sale 9/20 170/180 BeCS @ 2.82
-Rolled 9/20 170/180 BeCS out to 10/18 130/140/180/190 iron condor @ .54 credit
-Rolled 9/20 170/180 BeCS down to 155/165 BeCS @ 1.37 credit
Total credit taken in: 4.73
Debit to close: 3.73
Profit: 1.00

I was running out of time (as of Monday was looking at a full loss on the put spread side) but the move up over the last couple of days has helped this position. Been on the wrong end of strong moves enough times so I’ll take this one and move on.

Sold $NFLX 11/15 275/265 bull put spread @ 1.72

Bought to close 10/18 27 calls @ .96 (sold for 5.07 on 9/16). This was a rollout from 9/20 26 calls. Overall profit .74.

Sold $NFLX 11/15 340 calls @ 1.30. Covered (against long stock).

Bought to close Oct 21 2920/2895 put spread + 3035/3060 call spread @ 3.15. Sold for 7.40 on 10/11.
Bought to close Oct 23 2910/2885 put spread + 3045/3070 call spread @ 3.20. Sold for 7.00 on 10/11.

Sold Oct 21 2920/2895 put spread + 3035/3060 call spread @ 7.40.
Short put and call deltas are 20 and 21.
Call spread is above the all time high in SPX.

The chart is starting to look intriguing for a fade (i.e., long nat gas) but strikes and expirations not actionable right now. Not much premium above 40 in November. If nat gas continues to be weak for the next couple of weeks, there may be a play in December (options will open up after October expiration next week). For now, Feb highest strike is 46 with the bid/ask really wide (1.00 x 5.70). Holding off but keeping an eye on it.

Sold $SBUX 11/15 iron condor: 70/80/90/100 @ 2.07 with the stock at 85.91. IV rank is high at 69, partly because of earnings in the cycle (expected 10/30 or 10/31 but not yet confirmed). I plan to be out of this trade before then, hopefully for a profit if contracting IV and theta cooperate.

Sold $ULTA Nov 15 225/220 bull put spread @ 2.36. Stock bouncing intraday. Delta of short puts 27. IV rank high at 65.

Bought to close $GDXJ 10/18 35/42 strangle @ .31. Sold for .79 on 9/19.

Just catching up on my trades.
I closed both of these positions for around overall breakeven (they were rollouts from losing Sep short calls).
-Bought to close $NUGT 12/20 53 calls @ 1.18. Overall profit .11.
-Bought to close $NUGT 10/18 32 calls @ 1.63. Overall profit .22.

My only remaining NUGT position is short 10/18 27 calls (another one from a Sep rollout).

Looking at short calls again but went with spreads in some smaller accounts to keep buying power requirements down.
Sold $DRIP 12/20 125/135 bear call spreads @ 1.31-1.33

Bought to close $NUGT 10/18 31 calls @ 2.07. Sold for 5.30 as a rollout on 9/20. Overall profit .93.

Bought to close 10/18 iron condor (130/140/160/170) @ 1.41. Sold for 2.52 on 9/18.

Sold $UVXY 11/15 35/45 bear call spread @ 1.21

Rolled $NUGT 9/20 31 calls out to 10/18 31 calls @ 1.85 credit

As promised, BTC $NFLX 10/11 250/240 bull put spread @ 1.60. Small loss (sold for 1.41 a little while ago).

I may be a bit early but STO $NFLX 10/11 250/240 bull put spread @ 1.41. I will have this on a very short leash–if we break lower again below today’s LOD of 268.00 I will close this and get out of the way. 10/11 expiration (weekly) to avoid earnings on 10/16.

Bought to close 9/20 35 calls @ .12. Sold for 1.40 on 6/20.
My only remaining September position is short 31 calls which I’m leaving on into tomorrow’s expiration to see if a move down will allow me to take them off for a profit. If not, I’ll roll them to October.

The rest of my positions (that weren’t closed for a profit) have been rolled out. In addition to the above I am now short 10/18 27 calls, 10/18 32 calls and 12/20 53 calls.

Still high IV in gold. Sold $GDXJ (junior miners ETF) 10/18 35/42 strangle @ .79 credit. Probability of profit 68%.
