#Earnings #DoubleCalendar
STC $UPS Oct 26th 115 double calendars for .64. Bought yesterday for .89, so small loss. Stock dropped too much. Could have gotten a modest profit at the open but waited for a bounce that didn’t come.
BIIB DubCal sold
STC @ 3.9. Bot @ 3.12.
Held on to this too long. It was more profitable ydy. Glad to be out as price is falling.
MSFT DubCal
BTO Oct26/Nov16 106 double calendar @ 2.15.
The time range on this calendar is longer than I’ve been doing. Experimenting with this to see how the DubCal performs if the longs are in an expiration where volatility won’t collapse. This position opens with 80%+ vol on the shorts and 40% vol on the longs. A vol collapse on the shorts with stock price staying between 98 and 115 has good profit potential.
BIIB closed
#Earnings BTC $BIIB Oct 26th 285/350 strangle for .735. I had an order in for this all morning at .70. I just switched the order to .75 and it immediately filled for .735.
CAT DubCal sold for loss
Bot CAT DubCal @ 1.22. STC @ .10 for almost full loss. Sat on this one too long hoping for a rally. Smokium hopium.:-)
ALXN DubCal sold
Bot ydy @ 1.45. Sold for 2.22.
The DubCal trading gods are being good to me. I hope this string of profits keeps on piling up. lol.

#Earnings #ShortStrangles – Just going with one in case I have to manage it for awhile. Based on Jeff’s data (BTW…which I love what he’s doing with those posts…thank you!!) selling near the max move.

BIIB strangle
#Earnings Sold to Open $BIIB Oct 26th 285/350 strangle for 3.35. Filled on 1, have another 1 pending. Strikes are just outside expected move when I posted the analysis earlier. However, IV has dropped intraday and now expected move is 296 to 343, which is the same as the MAX moves over last 12 quarters.
I’ll likely sell a third later in the day, but 3 is my max at this high of a stock price.

#shortstrangles #earnings #closing ROKU
Way back on August 29 I sold an October 19, 50/70 earnings strangle for 2.19. ROKU climbed to 77 last week, has come back to earth, bought today for 1.72, a little luck always helps.
TSLA stopped
#Earnings repair Stopped $TSLA Oct 12th 285 put for 11.95. Sold for 4.15 on Tuesday.
Flat in TSLA. My earnings repair has done well after being whipsawed in August; reduced my losses by more than half. But the last week has been another whipsaw, with the wins being canceled by losses, so I’m taking a break. Margins are jacked up on this one anyway.

#Earnings Closed my remaining $TSLA Oct 5th 275/322.5 strangle for 19.92. Was trying to work a decent exit when it was reaching its intraday high, but missed my fill. Then got caught in the steep dive for a crappy exit near the lows.
Partial roll: Sold Oct 12th 250 put for 11.30.
I’ll wait to see Monday before adding more.

PVTL owner
#Earnings #Assignment While waiting for $PVTL 22.5 puts to hopefully expire, I got assigned last night. At least it is cheap. No weeklies, and options premium is weak, so I will hopefully catch a bounce and sell it.

July 12, sold Sept. 21, 350/360 put spread for 2.20, glad I went out in time as NFLX went from about 400 to about 310 in the month after earnings. Finally turned profitable today, bought for 1.94. Beats losing.

The 22.5 puts are recovering from overnight lows. Order in to close for .05 as well. Leaving the long legs as lottery tickets.
1st earnings report
#Earnings Taking a shot on this one since premium is high, but defining max risk since this is its first earnings report, and the options expire next Friday.
Short Strikes are about 20% OTM.
Sold $PVTL Sep 21st 17.5/22.5/34/39 condors for 1.70.
