#SPXcampaign Since $SPX has been up only 5 times in the last 20 years on the last day of the year, I closed the put side of this #IronButterfly. Letting the call side expire.
Closed $SPX Dec 29th 2690/2665 put spread for 7.40. Sold in an #IBroll for 17.55 last week (with 2690/2715 calls)
Also, trying to shake up this dull market: Sold June 3rd 2650/2675/2690/2715 #IronCondor for 6.50. These expire in just two trading days. My expectation is a slight drop tomorrow and then an up day on Tuesday.

#earnings #shortputs #rolling HCA
In July I sold an #ironcondor for earnings, HCA tanked. I originally had a short 82 put, rolled it up to 82.50, the first of 4 rolls, waiting for a week like this week, closed at a gain of 148 today. Thanks to all who have shown how rolling can work.
#ShortStrangles – Lots of uncertainty and questions around this stock right now. Let’s see if it stays that way for another month…
Sold TSLA DEC 29 2017 275.0/350.0 Strangle @ 5.45
#SPXcampaign Forgot to post this yesterday. A put spread hit my stoop on the morning lows so I closed it, as well as its offsetting call spread (at a profit). I did not roll it yet.
Stopped $SPX Dec 8th 2510/2485 put spreads for 2.88.
Closed SPX Dec 8th 2650/2675 call spreads for .42.
Both spreads sold as an #IronCondor last week for 3.05.
#SPXcampaign Sold my first 5-week position as a condor:
Sold $SPX Dec 8th 2485/2510/2650/2675 #IronCondor for 3.05
#Earnings #IronCondor Thanks @fuzzballl for heads up on this one. Leaning a bit bullish (based on historical performance) and going with a condor for protection and less margin:

#IronCondor I have one in TLT 115/117/125/127 exp 12/30, sold at .56 end of Nov. It has a small risk but the short put at 117 has been under pressure. Just buying back doesn’t get a fill, so I was thinking to close the short put which i can buy back for a loss of some 20 cents and let expire the rest. I should end up making some money, am i correct and have you done this before with some success?

#Earnings #IronCondor
On $UAL condor I covered my short puts yesterday, so I’m now replacing the premium I spent on that by selling the long puts. One for .17 and one for .20 so far. Will hold the rest for awhile in case this thing really collapses. Looks like the call spreads will expire worthless, meaning max profit on the trade; maybe higher if these long puts get juicy.
