SPX Expected Move
The horizontal white lines are the Friday close and the upper and lower edges of the SPX weekly expected move. I reset these every weekend just to have a reference. Amazing how often they turn out to be pretty accurate. Yesterday rallied to the top now selling back into the middle. Still above where we closed last Friday.
Could probably do pretty good fading those levels. Sell call spreads when upper edge is hit and sell put spreads when lower edge is hit.
The blue lines are where my SPX short put strikes are and yellow and red are 20 day and 50 day moving averages. That’s about it on my charts.

Swings continue
2025 continues to be the bizarro year for intraday moves. Whereas the last seven years (at least) have shown that 6-delta EM breaches were the rarity, the have now become the norm. It was predictable that after yesterday’s call-side EM breach, that today we would see a put-side breach. Sadly, I predicted its likelihood but didn’t buy a put spread (let the record show I am adverse to long trades). I have been trying to find trades here and there. Last week I did okay with some ATM narrow condors, but this week so far has been a misfire. On the sidelines for now.

SPY Experiment Closed
Been running this in my own account as a test before moving over to my daughter’s account. Wanted to make sure SPY worked similar to SPX. Here’s the results for 8 weeks total on a 5 lot.
Set position on Sep 4th and rolled them up on Oct 21 (Dec 2027 660/660/700)
Closed position this afternoon.
Loss on LEAPS of 4425
Total premium received: 12465
Net gain: 8040
Net gain per position: 1608
Works fine but I feel like SPX works a little better. Maybe because SPX LEAPS are a lot further out in time…not really sure. Still overall I’ll use it until the account grows enough to switch over to SPX. SPX has no early assignment risk and better tax treatment also.
New position now in different account is Jan 2028 680/680/720

Saving grace
#SPX0dte Sold 6770/6800-6805/6830 condors for 9.95, BTC for 6.50. That took my small loss for the week and made it a small gain. Short trade wins after all. Downside Warning was canceled yesterday which hopefully means a period of calm. I think these last five weeks where I have struggled and abstained started right after a calm period ended and a wild one began. The wild swings began 14 trading days before the China tweet that dumped the $SPX. It’s like the market knew it was coming. And nine days after that VIX is back down and I get a calm Friday afternoon to save the week.
That said, I’m not going back to business as usual. Still going to be cautious.
SPX
I’ll take it for a little one day scalp. Big day tomorrow if 6700 and 6725 hold….
