#SPX5dte Bought to Open $SPX Oct 25th 3640/3660-3670/3690 condors for 17.75. First one of these I’ve done in a few weeks because volatility has made them too expensive. Here I’m only going 3 trading days out (Tuesday) so I can keep price under 18.00.

#CoveredCalls #ShortPuts – A little of everything.
ISRG: I got too bearish selling a covered call below my basis. Instead of rolling the call I’ll let the stock go at 180 (basis 192) and continue put selling. Should get to even or better much quicker.
Sold ISRG OCT 28 2022 205.0 Put @ 3.30
SPY: Rolling down a few covered calls for additional credit.
Rolled SPY OCT 21 2022 379.0 Call to OCT 21 2022 365.0 Call @ 4.05 credit (6.05 total now)
Rolled SPY OCT 21 2022 380.0 Call to OCT 21 2022 371.0 Call @ 1.90 credit (3.65 total now)
TBT: Might as well start reducing basis of my Jan 2025 long puts. Should easily have them paid for months and months before expiration. Will slowly add using put sale premium to build a bigger position. An additional hedge for the short puts getting run over at some point is a decent size long TLT position.
Sold TBT OCT 28 2022 34.0 Puts @ .60

#SPX1dte So much for this Risk/Reversal crap… i thought we’d get more of a rally here, especially with good earnings news. But I’ve been thoroughly bitch-whipsawed this week.
Sold to open $SPX (same day) Oct 19th 3600/3620-3770/3790 condors for 1.55, SPX at 3698, deltas -.06 +.07
#SPX1dte I am still bullish for more move higher. I’m trying a risk/reversal again, placed after the close then immediately helped by $NFLX blowout…
