TQQQ early Call assignment
I got assigned overnight on 1 short TQQQ Nov 19 2021 125.0 Call.
To take care of the short stock I exercised my own long TQQQ Nov 26 160.0 Call. Paid $0.88 for it on 10/11.
One less thing to worry about tomorrow.

SPX trades
#SPX5dte Sold to close $SPX Nov 19th 4670/4650 put spreads for 3.20. I think the bias is to upside but got caught in the huge spike without enough time to alter my bid. Now I need a decent recovery into tomorrow’s close to collect on the call side. Condors bought for 15.45 on Monday.
