Thanks to Jeff for answering some questions about my post, spread, ITM etc.

Hey, just saw your post about GOOS, & ANF, bad trades, sorry, but that’s trading. I’m rolling out the GOOS trade, and holding the ANF until expiration, glad I used risk management in these two trades.

UVXY

#DiagonalBearCallSpreads – Surprised this thing isn’t higher today. Rolling out but not up for next week…

Rolled 1 UVXY MAY 31 2019 40.0 Call to JUN 7 2019 40.0 Call @ 2.09 credit (4.39 total credit now)

#rolling TSLA

May 15, sold a June 21, 180/275 strangle for 2.97. Today, rolled the call down to 190. I’ve collected 1124, have a little breathing room. TSLA is about 185.

SPX 1-dte

#SPX1dte Sold to Open June 3rd $SPX 2670/2690-2800/2820 condors for 1.35. (IV 13.37%, SPX 2756)

Rolling IRBT

Continuing to extend the trade and lower basis–rolled my now short 6/21 92.50 puts to 7/19 90 puts @ .25 credit, and 6/21 95 calls to 7/19 95 calls @ 1.60 credit. I looked at using the #lizardpies strategy described by @hcgdavis but for this one the strike availability didn’t allow it (they’re 5 points wide in July right now and I couldn’t get more than 5.00 credit anywhere). Will look at on my next rollout.

Total premium taken in now 7.08 so my breakevens have been lowered (helped by being able to move the put strike down for a credit). Downside breakeven 82.92, upside breakeven 102.08.

UBER bad

#Earnings So much for my speculative play of a #LongStraddle. Seem like the stock really likes 40. Nonetheless it did bounce around today but was unable to sell at the best times because other commitments had me running around the house and town too much.

Sold $UBER 40 straddle for .45. Bought yesterday for 3.15
#Rolling: Sold $UBER Jun 14th 37/43 #ShortStrangle for 1.00. See if I can work that three times and get back the losses.

That loss erases my decent win on $ANF straddle, leaving me flat for the week.

Also, Sold to close $DG call calendar for .10. Bought #DoubleCalendar for .39 on Wednesday. Long 118 put as lottery ticket for next week.

Closing AMGN

Bought to close $AMGN 6/21 175/180 bear call spread @ .94. Sold for 1.55 on 5/28.

EWW

#ShortPuts – Originally was looking out to July near the 40 strike. Moving in a little closer in time and a slightly more aggressive strike…

Sold EWW JUN 28 2019 41.5 Puts @ .87

TLT call spread

Fading the move up in bonds via a 6/21 132/137 bear call spread. Sold for .79.

EDIT: Corrected expiration date to 6/21

TQQQ

STO September 20, 70/75 call spread at .45 cents against my long term leaps.

ULTA Earnings

#Earnings – The Modified #JadeLizard (unbalanced skewed iron condor?) worked out pretty good. A little down move but held support.

Bought to Close ULTA MAY 31 2019 280/305/340/345 @ .20 (sold for 5.12)

TNDM Closed Puts / TSLA Puts / Rolled NFLX Calls / PYX Covered Calls /

$PYX STO 6/21 22.5 calls at .05

#ShortPuts – One to watch tomorrow. Five percent tariffs announced tonight on Mexico. This thing rarely trades below 40 and it could easily open down there tomorrow…

#optionsexpiration and actually these are…

#optionsexpiration and actually these are for next week, I rolled everything today.

Sorry I have not had time to post for anyone that was following trades. I will do a better job of at least a weekly update. That is how I trade. 95% of my trades are on Thurs. so a weekly update should keep things up to date.

Lots of trading last few weeks but equity curve flat. Need the trade tariff BS to end. Not good for business 😦
Most of my trades have been converted to #fuzzy or #lizardpies for recovery.

#hedge
/ES 62 DTE 2610/2605 back ratio has made a few $. It’s real purpose is to guard against a 2/6/18 or 8/24/15 event. Hope I don’t need it but would get a lot of cash then. However like an insurance policy I expect to lose on this.

#pietrades
LABU 45 cc at 44.25 cb and 40 cc at 37.13 and another batch of 40 cc at 38.42
TNA 60 cc at 59.69
TQQQ 63 cc at 62.15
AMAT 22 DTE 42 CC at 41.04. Assigned off a 43 put but had some credits as a cushion

#fuzzy
EOG 92.5/90 rolled down to 87.5/87.5 for a little debit. Cost basis 15.44 but because I had made some on the longs it put some cash back in the account.
GILD 65/65 rolled next week for 0.29 credit. Cost basis 5.91. Should not be too much longer for a free trade.
LNG 67.5/67.5 rolled for 0.34 credit. Cost basis 9.99 down from 15.57 at onset only 4 weeks ago.
XBI 80/80/85 rolled for 0.70 and cb 5.57
XBI 80/85 cb 12.50. This is a new batch we are doing live as an experiment. Avg. about 4% cost reduction per week. With monthlies it is larger about 6-8% but the theta decay is slower. 6% per month is 96% per year.
GILD 65/65 rolled for 0.28 for cb of 3.78. Freebie soon I hope 🙂 but this is also an experiment that will be taken all the way to expiration in 2021.
GILD 65/65 rolled for 0.28 at 6.45. Same as above but this is tracking the compounded addition of contracts as the rolls spit off cash.

#lizardpies
IBB 103.5 rolled down to 102/102/102.5 for total credit of 0.84. This has been recovered all the way from 107/109 strikes. Shows the flexibility of the #jadelizard as a tactic for adjustments.
IWM rolled down from 150 to 149/149/149.5. Reduced debit from 2.11 to 1.63 as I have recovered this from 155/157 strikes. I gave back a little credit to reduce margin.
SQ 63.5/63.5/64 rolled for total credit of 2.19. Looks like it found a bottom.
XBI 81.5 rolled down to 81/81/81.5 for total credit of 2.35.
LNG 64/64/64.5 rolled down from 66 for 1.68 total credit.

Once I can close a few of these, hopefully next week, will start some 21 DTE #lizardpies and create ladders. Some of them will be skewed to downside to just have steady income with every expiration and let them expire each week. Add new ones every Monday or Thurs.

Stay nimble, I suspect there is more volatility ahead but take advantage of the increased premiums 🙂

Here is an example of a 22 DTE #lizardpies I am looking at.

2017-12-01-TOS_CHARTS

7 points of downside protection. No risk to upside. Income over 3 weeks, can probably close early for 50% or more profit.

SPX 1-dte

#SPX1dte Somehow I plum forgot to put this on, so I did it after the bell.

Sold $SPX May 31st 2720/2740-2825/2845 condors for 1.10. (IV 14.3%, SPX 2788).

Closed SPX IC

Bought to close $SPX 6/10 2720/2695 BuPS + 2900/2935 BeCS @ 3.99. Sold for 7.00 on 5/23.

UBER straddle

#Earnings This is speculative because $UBER has not previously posted earnings, but my guess is this stock will move more than $3.00 (7.5%) on earnings. $LYFT moved over 10% on its first report.

So I’m buying a #LongStraddle. I’m going to try to leg in, which is often a mistake for me, but trying any way.

Just now bought $UBER May 31st 40 call for 1.45.
Order in to buy 40 put for 1.50, banking that stock will rise a bit from here. If not, I’ll buy the 39.5 put instead.

UVXY

#LongPuts #LEAPS – Closed the last third of these earlier. Orders in to replace them at lower prices. Decided I’ll trade around these LEAPS for awhile instead of holding them until expiration.

Sold to Close 5 UVXY JAN 15 2021 50.0 Puts @ 28.15 (bought for 22.90 average)

ULTA Earnings

Modified #JadeLizard (unbalanced skewed iron condor?) with some downside protection and no upside risk. Breakeven down near the 200ma and near the average move of the stock on earnings.

Sold 1 ULTA MAY 31 2019 280/305/340/345 @ 5.12

REGN

#CoveredCalls – Plugging away…

Bought to Close REGN MAY 31 2019 325.0 Call @ .10 (sold for 2.00)
Sold REGN JUN 14 2019 320.0 Call @ 4.10

T

#ShortPuts – Recently had all of my stock called away (again). Looks to be pulling back into congestion so reloading at the 50ma. Ex dividend on July 9th and earnings on July 24th so I’d like to be back in it again by then so…

Sold T JUL 05 2019 31.5 Puts @ .53

Still 16.35 percent annualized if I don’t get the stock…

SPX 1-dte rolls

SPX1dte Sold to Open $SPX June 5th 2845/2870 call spreads for 2.80. Offsetting put spreads sold yesterday.

BTC May 31st 2725/2700 put spreads for .35. Sold for 2.10 on May 21.
