/ES Futures

#BearPutSpreads – Since I’m still net long overall throwing a futures hedge out there to help a little on any further downside. I would probably close these early if we recover above the 50 day for a few days.

TSLA

#BearPutSpreads #LEAPS …adding #BullCallSpreads now. Trading both sides with the great premium. Using 2020’s for the call side.

Bought TSLA JAN 17 2020 300.0/400.0 Bull Call Spreads @ 34.00 (2019’s were nearly 30.00 so went 2020)

87 weeks to go so need 39 cents per week or 97 cents to cover max loss with a year to go…if TSLA really tanks I’ll probably book the winner on the short 400s.

So:

Sold TSLA JUN 1 2018 312.5 Calls @ 4.70

VXX

#BearPutSpreads – I’ve been selling against my Jan 2019 50/30 Bear Put Spreads….trying to gradually cover the debit. Volatility trying to come down a little so I’m getting out of the way for awhile. Small loss here but the original debit has already been reduced from 12.15 to 11.65. Only need VXX below about 38.35 by next Jan.

Bought to Close VXX APR 13 2018 46.0 Puts @ .76 (sold the 46/41 spreads @ .63)

Of course I’m early…VXX heading back up now… 😦

#BearPutSpreads – Closing the the short side of 38/33 Bull Put Spreads. Originally sold for .62 as basis reduction on Jan 2019 50/30 Bear Put Spreads. Basis is now 11.53 with a goal of reducing it to zero by expiration.

Bought to Close VXX MAR 9 2018 38.0 Puts @ .01 letting 33 strike long side expire.

VXX

#BearPutSpreads – I’ll take a shot. Only 25 cents per week in sales to cover it. That’s almost 10 dollars out of the money to sell those now (for next week) I’m waiting a couple days for my initial sale though.

Bought to Open VXX JAN 18 2019 50.0/30.0 Bear Put Spreads @ 12.14

EDIT….just a heads up here. You’ll be margined for any weekly put sale that’s above the long side of the spread since the computer thinks it’s capping the potential gains.
