#SPX0dte No trades yet, and I may have none. Depends on whether market is calm as presser winds down. I’m monitoring both a wide and narrow condor since pre-market and both have gone UP in premium, meaning there is no decay happening before the announcement.

Butchered this today. Broke all my rules.
1. Gap up to all time highs at the open and didn’t wait for a pullback.
2. Sold next day daily puts without closing today’s.
3. Sold at highs and bought at lows.
4. At least I was more patient with SPX. Made up for it there.
Basically back to square one now with the overall position.
