#JadeLizards – Sacrificing the upside for more downside help. Sold another call spread just below my short put. I’ll risk the 30 cents on a rally for a lower breakeven if it continues dropping.
Sold SNOW Mar 15 2024 185/190 Besr Call Spreads @ 2.10 credit.
Position is now 190 short put against 185/190 call spread. 4.70 total credit. Max loss .30 to the upside and breakeven 185.30 to the downside.
Not something I really want to mess with long term.

#JadeLizards – Trying something as an experiment. With the big run up the put side of the lizard is doing great. I’m closing it leaving enough premium in the overall position to still eliminate upside risk. There is now three weeks left so I’ll be looking for a decent pullback to sell the put side again.

#ShortPuts #JadeLizards – Jade Lizard will go away today with a loss of 3.60. I sold the call spread side very aggressively in the money and wide enough where there was some upside risk. Main thing was to help if ROKU continued dropping. Stock recovered so reloading the short put side.
This is similar to why I sometimes sell covered calls below my stock basis to get max downside protection. By the time the stock recovers it’s probably a good time to load up the short put side again to make it up if you get whipsawed. Seems like I get back to even much quicker this way instead of selling less aggressive calls each week.

#JadeLizards – Not sure what this is really called. Selling a call spread two weeks out and a put one week out. No upside risk and possibly allowing an extra put sale the second week. Slightly bullish overall…

#JadeLizards #Earnings – Looks like we’re not getting rid of cows quite yet… 🙂
Rolled call spread side of the Lizard down from 144/147 to 120/124 for 1.09 credit against a 125 put. Total credit now 4.14 so still no upside risk. Dead zone in this position is from 124.14 to 125.00 I’d be happy for it to get back to those levels.

#JadeLizards – Not sure why premium is so high in this but I’ll take a shot at a Lizard for next week. Considered the naked strangle but I prefer the no risk upside here.
