#SPXcampaign Closed $SPX Sept 22nd 2505/2530 call spreads for 2.95. Sold for 1.60 on Aug 25th.

This one slipped by me and should have been stopped when it hit my 4.00 stop. But I weathered through its peak around 9.00 and got out decently today. I sold the opposing 2505 put spread yesterday, and will look to exit today if possible. I am moderately bullish into tomorrow.

I am leaving on a 2-week trip on Tuesday so will be adding fewer aggressive positions. I’ll be trading during the trip but not at my computer as often.

#SPXcampaign I rolled this one earlier as the downside risk is too great this close to expiration.
Bought to close $SPX Sep 8th 2480/2455 put spreads for 13.50. Sold last week for 6.80.

#condorroll

#SPXcampaign Bought to close $SPX Aug 28th 2455 calls for .25. Sold in a #CondorRoll for 4.40 on Aug 21st.

#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX Sep 8th 2475/2500 call spreads for 3.10. With the indecision I am now looking to sell spreads on either side, offsetting existing spreads to make new condors. Since I had puts but no calls existing for Sep 8th expiry, I sold these calls.

Earlier, closed on GTC order: Sep 6th 2300/2275 put spreads for .20. Sold in a #CondorRoll for 2.85 on Aug 10th.

#SPXcampaign Closed on GTC orders:
$SPX Aug 25th 2380/2355 put spreads for .20. Sold for 1.40 on July 27th.
$SPX Aug 28th 2385/2360 put spreads for .20. Sold yesterday as part of a #CondorRoll for 4.40 (the call side has gone above 7.50, however).

#SPXcampaign. Closed on GTC order: $SPX Sep 8th 2510/2535 call spreads for .20. Sold for 1.75 on Aug 10th.

#CondorRoll. Sold Aug 28th 2360/2385/2455/2480 iron condors for 4.40, as a roll from a put spread stopped last week. This one will be on a tight leash; one week to expiry.

Sold to Open Sept 25th 2500/2525 call spreads for 1.60, with SPX at 2421.

#SPXcampaign Bought to close $SPX Sep 1st 2375/2350 put spreads for 2.90. Sold for 1.30 on July 31st. This hit my 3.00 stop before the close, so I closed it on the bounce after the close. I will roll tomorrow.

Ugly close so I wanted at least one put spread out of the way if we gap down in the morning.

Also after the bell, closed on GTC order: Aug 23rd 2480/2505 call spreads for .20. Sold as part of a #CondorRoll for 7.15 last Thursday.

#SPXcampaign I have a couple ATM call spreads and and one ATM put spread expiring next week. I’ve been watching to see which I should roll (maybe both). At the moment I feel we have topped out for the day and will close lower, so I closed:

$SPX Aug 18th 2435/2410 put spreads for 5.85. Sold as part of a #CondorRoll for 6.70 on July 19th.

I will look to roll to another put spread when put premium increases.

#SPXcampaign Since this one started going ITM with less than a week to expiry, rolled into a somewhat tight condor.

Closed $SPX Aug 16th 2450/2425 put spreads for 6.65. Sold last week for 2.25
#CondorRoll Sold Aug 23rd 2385/2410/2480/2505 condors for 7.15

The call side of the condor has the same strikes as the stopped spread but its expiry is 11 days earlier. May need further management but puts me in less danger at the moment.

Looking at stops on a couple other call spreads as well.

#SPXcampaign Bought to close $SPX June 26th 2490/2520 call spreads for .20. Sold as part of #CondorRoll for 3.60 on June 2nd.

#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX June 12th 2425/2400 put spreads for 3.30, as a roll for previously stopped spreads. This is not very far OTM, but short term so theta decay should be quick as long as their is no dive in the market on Monday/Tuesday.

Stopped: Closed June 23rd 2465/2490 call spreads for 3.50. Sold for 1.85 on May 25th,
#CondorRoll: Sold June 26th 2360/2390/2490/2420 condors for 3.60. Went 30-wide since there is no 2515 strike for this expiry.

#SPXcampaign Having to roll out call spreads already…. Reverse rolling not working as well as usual, but I admit this one I sold this morning was much too aggressive.

Stopped SPX May 19th 2370/2395 call spreads for 7.00. Sold this morning for 3.20.

#SPXcampaign Stopped out on this one which started the day ITM… exited when it was ATM, and now it is quite OTM and much cheaper… now need to wait for recovery to sell a roll.

#SPXcampaign Bought to close $SPX April 3rd 2325/2300 put spreads for 5.05. Sold as part of a #CondorRoll last Tuesday for 7.80.

The call spread I sold this morning will act as a roll for this spread. I stopped it since it started the day ITM, so I’m not giving it another chance to explode.

#SPXcampaign 3.00 stop hit on one spread.
STOPPED: Bought to close $SPX April 20th 2265/2240 put spreads for 3.20. Sold last Tuesday for 1.35.
#CondorRoll Sold to Open SPX Apr 28th 2125/2150/2420/2445 iron condors for 2.15, 1.5x position size.

Also, closed SPX April 13th 2435/2460 call spreads for .20. This one was not closing as a spread, even with a bid of .25, so I closed the legs manually for .35 and .15.

#SPXcampaign Sorry I haven’t been posting all trades last few days. Been pretty busy both trading and with other duties this week. In general, I have been rolling near-the-money put and call spreads, as well as selling some addition call spreads. This week was quite beneficial for me since I have been leaning short for a couple months. If we can stay in this range or go lower, I will be able to back out of all previously ITM call spreads next week.

#SPXcampaign The good news: Bought to close $SPX March 24th 2370/2395 call spreads for 1.00. Sold for 13.65 on March 3rd. This is the kind of closure I’ve been waiting for with these ITM and ATM spreads.

And now for the bad news, bought to close March 24th 2340/2315 put spreads for 7.35. Sold as part of a #CondorRoll for 5.35 on March 1st. Got stopped at the bottom of the day (so far). Now I gotta roll this one too! (among others)
