Taking the loss early rather than trying to ride the swings. A 3.10 hit is easier to stomach that what can get much bigger if I don’t exit it right.

$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%.
Since my puts are already rolled out I’m starting new call positions to pair up with them.
Bought to open VXX Mar 19 2021 50.0 Calls/ Sold to Open VXX Feb 19 2021 20.0 Calls at $0.15 Credit.
Once my buy orders for this week’s calls start filling at a penny, I’ll sell more for next week.

Rolled VXX 02/12/2021 19.00 Puts to 02/19/2021 19.00 Puts for 0.35 Credit.
Not enough strength in VXX to roll any of them down this week, but not a bad cash flow for only 5 more trading days (Presidents Day holiday next Monday)
I’m expecting to cover all this week’s paired up short calls by early tomorrow.
