RH bummer

#Earnings #Rolling. I was looking for a gap fill on this, and mostly got it, but instead of exiting when I should have, I’m getting torn up today, adding to the depth of the hole. Trades on this one never go smoothly for me.

Buying to close $RH July 20th 120 call for 18.55-19.80. I’ll pay more for the remainder if I can’t get more pullback.
Sold for 12.40 last week. Could have gotten out for 8-9 dollars earlier this week. Came close to doing it but decided to wait. This morning’s huge rally slammed me.

Not sure what I will do to get back. I may just sell strangles, a bit at a time.

A few trades

#Earnings #Rolling BTC $RH 150 puts for 13.65. Sold July 20th 125 calls for 12.40. I’m actually looking for this one to fill the gap. It has tended to do that often after a big rise on earnings. I will add puts to this if we trade lower. I almost never get away from an earnings trade on this one easily.

#Earnings #Assignment #PieTrades Assigned $YY stock when July 6th 110 put was assigned early. Sold July 13th 97 call for 1.25. I’ll turn this into a PieTrade for recovery.

BTC $OLED May 18th 100 call for 4.60. Sold this morning for 1.50.
I also, unwisely as it turned out, closed May 18th 125 put for 27.50 (when stock was about 97.00). Sold for 26.50, avg price last month in an #ITMroll. I wanted to roll down to a 120 put on the next pullback, but that is probably out of reach now. I will continue to work this one, but probably hold off for today as it is overdone… +12%.

SPX roll

#SPXcampaign Every attempt to roll this lower was not filled due to market strength. So I’m ending up rolling it to a HIGHER put spread at 1.5x size. I feel comfortable doing this since we are still not far from the bottom of the recent range.

Sold $SPX May 25th 2525/2500 put spreads for 2.30. #Rolling from May 25th 2500/2475 puts stopped yesterday.

Rolled May 18, 37 put to October for .20. SKX is at 29. I’m a little concerned about assignment, stock is at 29 and now I don’t have to worry about it for awhile-maybe. This was an earnings strangle-hey, the short call worked out.

After closing ITM puts under margin pressure, I have now rolled them all back into profit range. I still think this is a decent bullish candidate on pullbacks. The call was over 3.00 yesterday so slipping out today in case it rallies back tomorrow.

Here are a few trades other than SPX:
Today: BTC $DUST Jun 15th 40 call for .25. Sold for 3.05 on Dec 4th.

Yesterday: BTC $FB Apr 20th 160 put for 3.00. Sold for 1.37 on March 19th. Backed out to early, not anticipating the rally the Zuck’s testimony would create.

Friday: BTC $FDX Apr 20th 235 puts for 6.77. Sold for 6.75 on 3/23 as when #Rolling from an earnings trade. I had margin pressure on Friday. Scaling back in since then:
Sold May 4th 235 put for 6.05;
Sold May 4th 237.5 put for 5.55.
This one seems like a buy… it’s just waiting for market to relax.

Friday: Closed $BABA Apr 27th 200 call for .18. Sold for 1.90 on 3/29.
Today: Sold BABA May 11th 195 call for 1.40

SPX trades

#SPXcampaign I’m taking off the Upside Warning for now as the current condition is hard to pin down. We could still be in the larger correction and preparing to test the lows. It seems the tariff issue could be a huge a catalyst now, what with Boeing leading the Dow down today. I think any announced relaxation or elimination of the plan could drive us higher. But if not, sideways to down seems the trend.

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.
