My apologies but the calendar I posted on Sunday was incorrectly set with the wrong time zone (Daylight Savings glitch). I have now edited the post to reflect Eastern time, as per usual. The Econ calendar is always available quickly in the menu bar above.
#SPX0dte One minute after close on Monday was filled on a speculative trade. It’s the highest premium I’ve ever sold a 30-point condor for, so risk is total of 2.00 for max gain of 28.00. More likely, if we’re still close to this price level on Friday, I would close for 5.00 to 10.00 profit. I had an order in for a few days for an ATM Nov 8th trade at 28.00, but it didn’t fill until yesterday.

Looking at a chart for this condor the price has been lowering all night so I’m going to enter before market, since today has no major economic moves. IV seems high just because what’s coming the rest of the week.
REVISED Tuesday morning (previous post had wrong time zone, this is now Eastern)
