BTO $SPX 5/14 5/17 4150 calendar for 5.30. Should be profitable as long as the market chops around in this 100 point range by Friday. max potential 4x.

BTO $TSLA May-28 670 / May-14 680 call diagonal for $10

BTO $SPX May-19-21 3950/3980/3890 BWB for 1.1 credit.

Jun/ May-07 80 put calendar @3.06, opened when $PTON was at 88. My original plan was to roll the weekly short leg and keep collection theta….

but I didn’t think it would get to 80 today, and I did some adjustment right before the close (chickened out?), took half off @4.7 (53%), and for the 2nd half, rolled long June 80 puts to May-14th, for 3.07 credit. That got my cost covered, and left with a “free” May 14/May 7 80 calendar.

With PTON taking a $10 swing after the hour, it would anyone’s guess where it will be tomorrow.

Still have the 60 put calendar.

BTO Jun/ May-07 80 put calendar @3.06.

Plan is to roll the weekly short leg, and take half off when 100% profit is reached.

STC remaining of $SPX 4/16 4170/4180/4200 call BWB @ 2.9 when SPX was at 4178.

STC $SPX 4/16 4170/4180/4200 call BWB @ 0.35 on half the position to reduce risk.
It was opened for 0.55 credit, so net profit 0.9 so far. Still looking for ~2 more from the rest.

Separately BTO 4150 put calendar 4/16 4/19, @4.5, for a possible pin. Have GTC orders for 50-150%, but will close by end of tomorrow regardless.

Adjustment to the June/Apr 70 call calendar.

Rolled 4/16 70 short calls to 4/30 75 for 0.23 credit, to make the spread into delta positive and theta positive again.

Scaled out the $GME Apr-23-21 145/Apr-16-21 145 Call Calendar at 30-50% profit.

It has pushed above the upper breakeven price at expiration.

back to the old well…

BTO $GME Apr-23-21 145/Apr-16-21 145 Call Calendar @ 5.2

PoP 92%, in range of 120-180 with potential to make 200%. It will be choppy, and plan to hold at least into Thursday with scaling orders to take profit starting 25%.

BTO $LABU Jun-18-21 70/Apr-16-21 70 Call Calendar @ 6.5
STO $LABU May-21-21 55/50 Put Vertical @ 1.47 Limit

Started a new “long term” position. This might be still a little early but it’s getting close to support on the higher time frames.

Rolled the Put BF’s long leg 4050 to 4040 for 1.75 credit, into a BWB 4040/4025/4000.

The pullback in SPX wasn’t very big, and now pushed back above VWAP. Like to remove some risk.

Still holding the Call side BWB: 4115/4125/4145

The initial trade cost 1.4, now 0.35 credit. will exit each BWB at additional $1-2 credit.

BTO $LABU Apr-09-21 76/Apr-16-21 75 Call Diagonal @ 2.7

Thanks to the recent posts on LABU. There is decent IV skew for a 2 day trade. 68% PoP between 71-83, close enough to the recent low/high. targeting 50% return on the risk.

BTO $DDOG Apr-09-21 90/Jul-16-21 90 Call Calendar @ 7.95

BTO two $SPX 4/9 BFs

Call BWB: 4115/4125/4145 @ -0.6

Net cost 1.4, if SPX moves close to either short strikes it may start to see some profit.

BTO $SPX Apr-05-21 4075/Apr-07-21 4075 Put Calendar @11.4
PoP 71% in range of 4063-4087, max potential profit 47%. looking for 20%.

$GME Apr-01-21 180/Apr-09-21 180 Put Calendar bought at @ 13.08. This one wasn’t as easy as previous weeks, highest paper profit reached was 10%ish. Wanted to hold into later the day to extract as much decay from the short leg (It was $3 even when the stock was at 190 this am). Sold half at 13.42 in the last hr. For the remaining half, rolled into a 180/170/160 put BF for 12.1 credit, so the BF net cost $1. With how GME moves around, there “should” be opportunities to get out for some profit next week.

$V May-21-21 215/Apr-01-21 215 Call Calendar bought @ 5.1, rolled short leg to 4/9 217.5 for 0.42 credit

$XBI Apr-01-21 140/Jun-18-21 140 Call Calendar @5.9, rolled the short to 4/9 145 for 0.36 credit.

The biotech ETF has pulled back to 200 dma and bounced today. like to start building a poor man’s covered call in my IRA.

BTO $V May-21-21 215/Apr-01-21 215 Call Calendar @ 5.1

Saw some heavy buying and selling by funds last week, could be part of rebalancing. Like the bouncing off 200 dma. Earning on 4/23. Will roll the short calls if threatened. The long call should be free in a few weeks if V hanging here.

BTO $GME Apr-01-21 180/Apr-09-21 180 Put Calendar @ 13.08

Theoretical breakeven range 130-230, max profit 110%, will start scaling out from 25%.

Wow, can’t ask for a better close. Thought it would have been another side way day and took a walk and missed that round trip excitement. No complaints, some of my near total loss option trades turned out as decent winners.

If this completes the bottoming of the /NQ, next week could be a very nice week for the longs.

On the $SPX Mar-29-21 3950/Mar-26-21 3950 Call Calendar, bought at @ 3.9 and added at 2.35 on Wednesday. Scaled out at 4.9-10, average 183% profit.

$SPX 3/19 3/22 4000 calendar for 3.4. This forward testing trade didn’t workout, it was up 20% at one time. I sold 4010 for 0.25, with the BuCS currently worth 0.2, SPX has to move 50-60 points for it be profitable zone.

$IWM 3/19 3/26 220 calendar, on the other hand, worked out, bought for 0.93, sold at 1.37, 1.4, and the last batch at 1.84 this am.

$GME 200 weekly calendar was also a winner, bought at 14.7, scaled out at 19, 24.6 and 26.7.

BTO $SPX 3/19 3/22 4000 calendar for 3.4, max potential return 400%.

Near dated call options are getting more expensive. This structure today is providing a better RR, PoP, and breakeven range than the IB I typically trade.
