#SPX1dte I got punched around pretty bad in March with a couple of 1-dte breaches and failed attempts at rolling. This reverse roll was the worst; had I left the call spread it would have ben fine. Thank God for strong months like February to eclipse small losing months like March.
BTC $SPX March 29th 2820/2800 put spreads for 8.50. Sold for 4.80 on March 19th as a #ReverseRoll.
#SPX1dte Sold $SPX March 13th 2740/2760-2825/2845 condors for .80 (IV: 10.46%, SPX: 2792)
#SPX1dte The is the kind of hit this strategy cannot suffer often. Bought to close $SPX March 11th 2770 calls for 6.10. I was working to close for the last 20 minutes but could not get a pullback. I will make a few cents back sell the long 2790’s, but only .20-.30 cents (first ones just filled for .20).
I’m going to maintain a view of weakness and sell an aggressive call spread to work on the roll.
I set my sights to close after we breached 2760. Wasn’t too concerned until by shorts hit 3.00. Then, the rally would not relent. This was the Monday I was looking for last week, when I was LONG calls. I almost made the same trade on Friday but decided to go short. Then, the rally into the close set me up for this painful Monday.
#SPX1dte My third attempt at a long condor is the first losing one. Looks like the Feb 4th one will expire worthless. We’ll see how things play out through tomorrow if an Upside Warning hits, and proceed accordingly for the Feb 6th expiry.
I also backed out of this roll trade with a profit, as it could get steamrolled on the call side. I’ll look to sell a put spread to replace it.
BTC $SPX Feb 14th (monthly) 2600/2620/2760/2780 #CondorRoll for 3.95. Sold for 6.05 last Wednesday.
#SPX1dte Sold $SPX Jan 31st 2615/2635-2735/2755 iron condors for 1.00. (IV 16%)
I hated doing this because I feel the rally today is a headfake, but I cannot fight the tape any higher than this.
Bought to close $SPX Feb 14th 2730/2750 call spreads for 5.75. Sold in a #CondorRoll on Jan 4th.
#CondorRoll Sold to Open Feb 14th 2600/2620/2760/2780 condors for 6.05.

$MU 54 and 54.5 #CoveredCalls #PieTrades Originally assigned via 55 puts, after a few weeks of call sales, exiting with cost basis around 51.
$SNA 170 calls, going short the stock. No weekly options on this so I think it will be quicker to get out on a dip next week.
