UVXY

#LongPuts #LEAPS – One good thing about UVXY staying strong…getting the long LEAP puts paid down a little. More on that later.

Bought to Close UVXY OCT 26 2018 51.0 Puts @ .10 (sold for 2.10)

AZO DG

Two that I wouldn’t mind selling off a little….jeez 😦 Up strong on a lousy day.

NVDA Jan

Sold $NVDA Jan 18 120 puts @ 1.32.
Stock down 30% this month. Is it going down another 40% between now and January? Delta is 04. Basis would be around the 200 day moving average if assigned. In that unlikely event I’d be loading the boat with NVDA <120.

New low on SPX

But pretty far below the VIX highs. This is somewhat typical… the VIX will often spike to its highest point on the first major downdraft of a correction, the calm a bit even though the index sinks lower. We need a strong flush in the market to get this correction behind us. Although we just went lower on SPX (and NDX, and Dow yesterday) it doesn’t seem like that capitulation panic we usually get at the bottom.

LABU OLED RTN SMH XBI UVXY

#LongCalls #LEAPS – Another day of LEAPS getting hit but weeklies doing their jobs. On the bright side after sitting down last night and looking at these types of trades with a fine tooth comb, a majority of the 2021 positions only require .05 to .15 per week to cover. It’s a long haul so just trying to avoid whipsaws now. Weekly safe spreads bringing in just 20 cents or so and letting them expire is the plan for the future until a recovery happens.

LABU: Added final long LEAP purchase to average down. Way underwater but still doable.

Bought to Open LABU JAN 15 2021 110.0 Call @ 8.00

#hedge Wish I had kept…

#hedge

Wish I had kept my SPX hedges on. A $3 put that I had on at 2550 is now trading for $21.40-22.

Most months you never need it. Last few weeks it is almost a mega millions or power ball ticket.

Once we settle down I will always keep one of these on. Either long puts, ratio, or risk twist for times like this. Then you have a pile of cash you can deploy when the market tanks.

#Earnings #DoubleCalendar
STC $UPS Oct 26th 115 double calendars for .64. Bought yesterday for .89, so small loss. Stock dropped too much. Could have gotten a modest profit at the open but waited for a bounce that didn’t come.

#earnings

MSFT DubCal

BTO Oct26/Nov16 106 double calendar @ 2.15.
The time range on this calendar is longer than I’ve been doing. Experimenting with this to see how the DubCal performs if the longs are in an expiration where volatility won’t collapse. This position opens with 80%+ vol on the shorts and 40% vol on the longs. A vol collapse on the shorts with stock price staying between 98 and 115 has good profit potential.

#Earnings

Back to the drawing board.

Officially went flat on the year with todays drop on paper. Gave back all the profits since Feb. Obviously income investing cannot keep up with extended moves.

I am comfortable with my directional trading now but do not have the time to watch the markets all day.

Have to come up with a hybrid trading model. Core based on income investing but really need to take some directional plays to boost returns and keep up with the extended directional moves. As I generate cash with rolls will figure out how to do that better.

Hope everyone else is preserving some gains.
