#SPX0dte Sold to Open $SPX Jan 31st 6005/6025-6150/6170 call spreads for 1.10, IV 22.12%, -.08 +.04
Pre-market deltas seem a bit skewed, plus overnight skew was bullish. Possible we hit new all time highs today, but I think it’s more likely we get a day of chop.

#SPX0dte Sold to Open $SPX Jan 30th 5960/5980-6110/6130 condors for 1.30, IV 22.97%, deltas -.06 +.06
I’ve seen the advantage of waiting for the open wane in recent weeks… as long as overnight action and reaction to premarket data are both mild, I think selling before open is advantageous. However, you need to watch for bad delta skews in pre-market and make sure you are centered well for projected open price of SPX.

Looks like people buying the market now, close to all time highs are not the smart money. Not saying short the market but hopefully we get some sort of a pull back.
Also not to get political but we have a lot of conflicting data at the moment.
You think inflation has been high since Covid watch what happens if the tariffs go through. Also if ICE starts deportations we are not going to have any workers left.
My hope is for grid lock, that’s what the market likes best.
Hope everyone is doing well trading in the New Year!
