#LongCalls #LEAPS – Wasn’t expecting this kind of bounce. Looks like it’s running back up to resistance so taking the quick profit and looking for a put sale entry on a pullback.
Sold to Close 10 EWZ JAN 20 2023 27.0 Calls @ 6.45 (bought for 5.70)
Gains on short calls last week and losses on short calls this week.
Net gain overall of .45 on a 10 lot…
#LongCalls #LEAPS – Haven’t done one of these in awhile. Buying the LEAP calls and selling short term against them. I’ll hopefully be more disciplined with my call sales than in my past. Goal is to eventually cover the cost of the LEAPS selling half as many short term. EWZ near multi year lows (other than covid crash).
Bought to Open 10 EWZ JAN 20 2023 27.0 Calls @ 5.70
Sold 5 EWZ OCT 2 2020 29.0 Calls @ .12
Nearly every one of these I’ve ever tried would have been successful had I not got greedy with weekly sales. 🙂 🙂

#LongCalls #LEAPS – The incredible becomes “incredibler”. I’ll continue selling 20 -25 cents per week indefinitely. Feels like a member of the family now!
#LongCalls #LEAPS – Taking advantage of the never ending rise to get out of this at a tiny profit. Went long prior to the implosion but added the full position near the bottom. Ratio’d the call sales on the rise so happy to be out. Will look for a reset if we ever get a pullback.

STX: Rolling picking up another .75 of upside
Rolled STX FEB 08 2019 41.0 Calls to MAR 08 2019 41.5 Calls @ .25 credit
UVXY: Selling diagonals against free March 90 short calls. Not as risky as it looks with ITM short puts helping.
Sold UVXY FEB 22 2019 57.5 Calls @ 1.23
WTW: Selling new positions very carefully as whipsaw risk increases and stock is 74 percent off recent highs. Earnings still a couple weeks away. Sales seem small but are twice what I need so could still become a nice winner eventually.
Bought to Close WTW FEB 15 2019 35.5 Calls @ .05 (sold for .30)

Bought to Close WTW FEB 8 2019 36.0 Calls @ .05 (sold for .75)
#LongCalls #CoveredCalls #LEAPS #ShortPuts – Been a slow couple weeks with the rally and being busy at work. Pretty much all hands on deck to keep things going with this crazy weather! Rolling some covered calls and ratio’d short calls against LEAPS and booking a couple winners for safety. Haven’t been adding anything new…just working with what I’ve got and trying to streamline things a little and be better about adding anything.
AMAT: Ratio’d and rolling just a week to stay prior to earnings.
Rolled AMAT FEB 1 2019 36.0 Calls to FEB 8 2019 36.0 Calls @ .10 credit

UVXY: Rolling short ratio’d puts down. Long LEAP puts working great. This works as a nice hedge on volatility spikes.
Rolled UVXY FEB 15 2019 70.0 Puts to MAR 15 2019 68.0 Puts @ .10 credit
XBI: Ratio’d roll.
Rolled XBI FEB 1 2019 78.0 Calls to FEB 22 2019 79.0 Calls @ .06 credit.
Obviously if I’d seen the Powell capitulation coming I’d not have sold any covered calls. Rolling working fine but capping upside (but giving a nice hedge also). These are all long term positions so working fine. Ratio’d short calls selling below LEAPS is a must. That way the rolls can be gradual since small to no upside risk.
#CoveredCalls #ShortPuts #LongPuts #LEAPS – Various adjustments…

#LongPuts #LEAPS -I’m a little disappointed in this one. It could’ve been a really good one but nat gas just imploded way faster than I thought was possible and my ratio was a little high on the put sales. On the bright side, between this and BOIL the Nov spike worked out ok.

Happy New Year!!
#LongCalls #LEAPS – Something I’ve been considering for awhile now that things have dropped so much. Looking at getting into a long term BABA position. Instead of buying LEAPS at the money I’m considering going out of the money further to save a lot of cash up front and then just selling the weeklies more conservatively.
Looking at LEAP strikes in 2021 somewhere in between it’s current range. It’s traded from 130 up to 210 so halfway is about 170. Could even go to 180 and get that for half of what the 130 would cost. On a recovery it will still make good money but not require a whole lot of weekly selling to get the cost back.
No position yet…

A near record setting week of premium selling last week and this week is shaping up nicely. Let’s see where the bounce goes…
#LongPuts #LEAPS – Turned out to be a good short but feel like I’ve got about all I can get for now. Gold pushing up against resistance and DUST back near it’s original starting point prior to the run up so booking it.
Entered the trade on the spike in mid August and added on the September spike. In spite of some weekly puts having issues and never quite getting to a full position it turned out ok.

#LongCalls #LEAPS – This is turning into one of my more interesting positions. Started out as a blown out earnings strangle and then became a covered call position. To free up cash the stock was rolled into 2021 LEAP calls at the 50 strike. Throughout the entire ordeal I’ve managed to stay pretty close to even but unable to get all the way there. Still not bad when considering it all started up around 80 and the stock is below 48 now.
It’s trying to find a bottom or could be setting up for another leg down. As long as it’s grinding sideways, I’ll keep hammering the weekly sales right at the money with great premium. This could end up being a longer term hold. Starting to see a lot of potential considering all the premium brought in so early in a 2021 position…
These are non ratio’d full sales that I will roll at the first sign of negative deltas. Otherwise keep selling.

#LongPuts #LEAPS #ShortCalls – This week’s short puts are obviously safe. Sizable position with nice profits. For risk management I used those profits to buy back a couple short calls I wasn’t comfortable with. Position is out to 2021 so plenty of time to get that back. Much more comfortable now with one short call against 8 short puts in the weeklies. Sold next week’s…
