SPX 0-dte trades for 8/7/25

#SPX0dte After 8 days straight of Expected Move getting hit, I’m throwing in the towel and getting directional. Although it is downside that was most tested, I think we bottomed on Friday and now will recover to new highs. So I’m trying a bullish #RiskReversal. This condor would have gotten me about 1.10 had I sold both sides.

SPX 0-dte trades for 8/1/25

#SPX0dte Sitting on my hands for now. Have been trying to sell call spread on any bounce, but not getting a chance. Missed my fill in pre market. Given this week’s pattern of fading after the open I was not going to sell a put spread today. Upside Warning is canceled. Downside one will take effect with $VIX close over 19.34.

Risk Reversal

#RiskReversal At the close yesterday, I felt that we’d had an outsized intraday countertrend move that wouldn’t follow through. I think we will remain at these levels or go higher at least until June 7th, when we get next monthly jobs report, followed by both a CPI report and Fed decision the following week.

#SPX0dte No new trade yet but I did pay to close short put side of May 10th #RiskReversal for .30. Not really threatened, but wanted to clear risk so I can enter a new one.

Week-long Risk Reversal

#RiskReversal Taking the lowered $VIX as a sign of a move to new all-time highs. This one is tighter than I usually go on risk reversals, and I’m doing that because the vast majority of these expire worthless on both sides, but usually do result in some move toward the long side and no threat to short side.

May be only second or third time I have ever gotten up two hours early because I rolled over in bed to check futures on my phone. Last January being down 27 points on SPX was not a worry, but with this year’s tighter spreads it is the stopping point. Stop was touched soon after midnight PT.

I’ll be back at normal waking hours to look for a new condor sale.

This morning the call spread is doing well, and I’ll wait until after open to see if we can kick higher. I will also probably roll up the put spread.

#rolling

Stopped again

#SPX1dte Closed put side for 2.00. I was trying to close for safety before my stop was hit but wasn’t aggressive enough so never got filled. So instead my stop gets hit and I take a loss. Very tough week but I’m still a bit positive. I may try to sell an aggressive call spread, but a bounce could occur at any time.

#riskreversal

Partial risk reversed

#SPX1dte Earlier, Bought to close half of the #RiskReversal put side. Stop not hit yet, but since this is a double position I want to reduce risk while it is cheaper to do so.

BTC $SPX Sep 28th 4250/4230 put spreads for 1.30. Trade entered for a .30 debit on Tuesday.

No trade for today yet. Gun shy after yesterday’s misfire.

Possibly the worst “Upside” Warning since 2001. I’ll write a post about it later today.

#SPX1dte Bought to close $SPX Sept 8th 4390/4370 put spreads for .50. This is part of the #RiskReversal I placed last Friday for a -.10 debit. The long call side is failing, but I’m at downside risk on the put side so I took off HALF of the put position. I will leave the other half to either expire or get stopped out (this trade is double the size of my normal size).

SPX quandary

#SPX1dte I don’t see a strong reason for the rally to stop… we hit new 15-month highs yesterday and next resistance would be the $SPX April 2022 high of 4637. So I’m trying to enter an aggressive same-day #RiskReversal but want the futures to dip down to 4586 (symbol: /ES). Since it ain’t happening, I will likely wait for the open and look for SPX to take a small spike down and try the fill then.

Trade is
Selling 4530/4510 put spreads
Buying 4590/4610 call spreads
Net credit will be 50 to 60 cents. That put spread is pretty close to money so it is aggressive.

SPX risk reversal

#SPX1dte Sold last HALF of #RiskReversal long for 4.78 (legged out): $SPX Jun 30th 4455/4475 call spreads. Entered for -.20 debit last Friday. Sold first half for measly .60 yesterday, not thinking we’d be here today. Short put spread expiring worthless.

It does rescue my week from being a loss, now a small profit.

Looks like I picked the wrong time to…

…switch back to shorts. I’m always off on timing. Today we get the rip higher I was expecting this week, but only after I threw in the towel.

Bought to close $SPX Jun 30th 4445/4465 call spreads for 3.70. Condors sold yesterday for 1.05.

My only hope now is the second half of my 4455/4475 LONG call spread. This is 10 points higher than the one I just closed, so I’m rooting for a super rip of a day so I can recoup the loss.

SPX long positions

#SPX1dte Sold to close HALF of position: $SPX June 16th 4450/4470 call spreads for 1.20. #RiskReversal entered on June 5th for -.30 debit. I’ll make a decision later today on how long to hold second half, since this expires Friday.

I have the same long spread for June 23rd expiry, also a R/R entered for -.30 debit. Currently trading at +2.50, so I’ll give it room to grow.

SPX stopped

#SPX1dte. Bought to close call side for 1.30. Stop not yet hit when I closed this, but I’m not letting a Friday ruin a good week. $TICK has been below zero most of the day but $VIX dropping and $SPX moving higher. This may be the start of the rally we’ve been waiting for.

Looking to enter a couple more bullish positions, maybe another put spread for today and another long term #RiskReversal since the one I bought on Monday is fizzling out.

#SPX1dte #RiskReversal Sold first batch of $SPX March 4th 2820/2830 LONG call spreads for 2.40. Bought for .45 on Friday (and financed by short put spreads sold for .75). Index not looking too strong so I may have to bail with the rest soon.

Happy New Year!

Good riddance to trading in 2018. I survived but given the SVXY melt down in Feb. and the last 3 months did not make any money, in fact flat for the year at the same levels I dropped to in Feb. Some accounts up a little, some down but the total portfolio basically flat.

However, as much as I thought I knew I learned a lot more, thanks to a lot of people on this site.

Some fairly decent changes and adjustmentswill be made to my trading for next year. The biggest changes will be changing my directional bias early, always keeping a portfolio hedge (but not until VIX drops and options are cheaper) and bringing in more income with proven strategies.

You will see a lot more #lizardpies using either straddles or strangles depending on the ticker, #unhingedfuzzies, #spycraft will be resurrected but with a hard rule for adjustments based on deltas/gamma, and a lot more synthetic trades to capture directional moves. This may include #riskreversal or outright #synthetics.

Cheers to a new year, new opportunities, and the collective ideas of the group making us all more successful traders!

LMT #SuperBull
The folks at CMLViz (geniuses) have done a big rework of the Squeeze. They use different settings, which I’ve come really close to replicating on charts (change your “length to 12, nk to 1.9”). They also have all new rules for entering trades on bull fires (day one green dot needs to close 1% above last red-dot day or no entry). Using the new settings there is an entry today for an LMT long. See the study link below. This is a way more directional trade than I usually take, and also the first time I’m testing their new entry parameters. I call anything that is long/long a SuperBull (Pete from TT coined it I think). But could also consider it a #RiskReversal.

#SPXcampaign Closed $SPX Sep 22nd 2475/2500 call spreads for 17.95. Sold for 4.50 on Aug 29th.
#ITMroll Sold Sep 29th 2480/2505 call spreads for 17.45.

Also, stopped Sep 29th 2500/2525 for 9.65. Sold for 2.75 on Sep 8th as part of a #RiskReversal. Had to take risk off going into Monday. Will figure out how to roll next week.

#LongCallSpread Finally, bought to Open Sep 22nd 2510/2525 call spreads for 2.75, after the bell. Another hedge against further upside on Monday.

SPX going bearish

#SPXcampaign Making several moves to bear myself up.

Sold to Open $SPX Sep 13th 2465/2490 call spreads for 7.65. This is a spread I sold Tuesday, covered yesterday, and now I’m selling again. Sounds nuts, but I really look at opportunities on a day to day basis. Each day told me something different in this uncertain market. Other than the commissions, I have no qualms about appearing erratic at times.

#RiskReversal Bought put spreads in two different expiries and sold one call spread to cover cost of both (almost). They are all different widths, based on what I expect to be able to profit, and what premium I want to spend.
Bought to open Sep 15th 2420/2405 put spreads for 1.25 (15 puts)
Bought to open Sep 29th 2400/2380 put spreads for 1.90 (20 puts)
Sold to Open Sep 29th 2500/2525 call spreads for 2.75 (25 puts)

yet more SPX

#SPXcampaign The triage continues as I flip my account from short to long.

Bought to close $SPX Sep 29th 2505/2530 call spreads for 4.00
Sold to Open Oct 6th 2340/2365/2535/2560 #CondorRoll for 3.15, 1.33x position size.

#RiskReversal #LongCallSpread
Bought to OPEN SPX Sep 8th 2480/2495 long call spreads for 2.90
Sold to Open SPX Sep 8th 2450/2425 short put spreads for 3.15
The spread I purchased is only 15-wide, which made it cheaper. Closing this one for $15 would exceed my expectations, so buying a smaller size than I sell works for me.

Also, closed on GTC order:
Sep 15th 2310/2285 put spreads for .20. Sold as a roll on Aug 10th for 2.05

SPX long calls sold

#SPXcampaign Sold the second half of my long call spread, July 21st 2465/2485 spreads for 7.50. Bought for 2.65 last Thursday, with #RiskReversal so cost basis was zero. To take off all risk, closing the put-spread half of the risk-reversal, too:

Bought to close July 21st 2435/2410 put spreads for .30. Sold last Thursday for 2.95.

SPX long calls sold

#SPXcampaign Closed half of long calls bought yesterday in #RiskReversal

Sold to Close $SPX July 21st 2465/2485 call spreads for 4.75. Bought yesterday for 2.65, when I also sold the July 21st 2435/2410 put spreads for 2.95. I’m letting the put spread devalue more before closing. I will hold the second half of the longs for possible continued move higher on Monday.
