At least my short 12.50 puts for this week will expire.
TQQQ Call Roll
Never thought I would have to roll this after TQQQ started out at 127 yesterday morning.
Bought to close 1 TQQQ 08/20/2021 135.0 Diagonal Call at $0.58. Sold this on Wednesday at $1.12
Replaced it with TQQQ Aug 27 2021 140.0 Call at $1.07
Paired with the 119.0 Put I rolled to this morning that gives me a 119/140 Strangle premium of $1.81 for 1 week.
TNA Call
Sold 1 TNA 08/27/2021 85.0 Diagonal Call at $0.91.
Paired with the 75.0 Put I rolled to this morning that gives me a 75/85 Strangle premium of $3.76 for 1 week.
I also have a short 85 call expiring today
VXX Calls
Sold to Open VXX Sep 10 2021 32.5 Covered Calls at $1.13.

Bought to close 1 AMC Aug 20 2021 39 Call at $0.01. Sold Tuesday at $1.94.
Replaced them with 1 AMC Aug 27 2021 40.0 Call at $0.56 and 1 AMC Aug 27 2021 41.0 Call at $0.54
I also have short $40 and $42 calls expiring today
VXX Call Rollup
The only short VXX call position I was actually concerned about:
Bought to close VXX Aug 20 2021 28.5 Calls at $0.16. Sold on Monday and Tuesday at $0.53 and $0.65.
Replaced it with VXX Aug 27 2021 31.0 Calls at $0.48.
As 31.14 was the high for VXX this week, this seems like the correct strike.
My expiring 29, 29.5, 30, 30.5 and 31 short calls look safe now
