#Earnings #LongStock #Rolling #CoveredCalls
$RH #ShortStrangles Dumped my final Dec 1st short 95 call for 8.50, and 80 puts for .10. Then the stock annoyingly dropped, after I’d closed the whole batch for high prices. I gotta ways to go to make up for it. I’m keeping new sales at the Dec 1st expiration, before earnings:
Sold 100 put for 3.50, adding to position
Sold 95 put for 2.65, adding to position
Sold 105 call for 2.95
$FB BTC Dec 1st 187.5 call for .12. Sold for 1.25 on 11/3. I’ll sell a new one on next rally.
$LITE Sold a fourth of my stock for 58.20. Cost basis 60.50. Looks to be recovering so will wait on the rest, with stops in place.
$STMP Assigned another 100 shares last night, disrupting my Dec 1st 200/180 put spread. Will sell the long put today. This leaves me with one remaining put spread and 200 shares.
$HCA This stock was sold for 75.29.by my broker on Friday afternoon due to margin concerns (futzing with SPX spreads). Not thrilled about this, but it has been an annoying one. An 80 covered call also expired Friday, so I’m now flat. Cost basis was 84.00 so that was a crappy loss.
#SPXcampaign Closed $SPX Nov 20th 2580/2555 for .35. Sold for 3.10 on Friday.

#ITMroll Selling Dec 4th 2575/2600 call spreads, no fill yet
#Earnings #ShortStrangles #Rolling
After my $RH Dec 1st 80/95 strangle got crushed yesterday, I have been legging into new positions.
Closed Dec 1st 95 calls for 10.20, 11.75, 12.60 (still holding 2 more)
Sold Dec 1st 95 puts for 2.00 and 1.30
Sold Dec 1st 100 puts for 3.20 and 2.55
Closed Dec 1st 80 put for .40. These should be .05 now but premium is hanging on.
Sticking with Dec 1st, prior to earnings for now. Haven’t sold calls yet as that has been continuously futile. I will probably try a couple on peaks.
#SPXcampaign #Rolling #ITMroll
Sold $STMP Dec 1st 200/180 put spreads for 17.75. This replaces my 200/185 put spreads expiring today, which will debit me 15.00. I went wider to make up the credit, with a 2-lot. A third option was assigned early with 190.35 cost basis, which I will hold for the eventual move back to 200.
#Earnings #Rolling #Assignment #LongStock
Before I had a chance to roll my $STMP Nov 17th 200/185 ITM put spreads, I was assigned 100 shares at 200.00. I sold the corresponding long put today for 9.35, so cost basis 190.65. Working on a roll of the rest as well as a covered call.

Only expiration is a long $SPX Oct 6th 2400/2375 put spread. Bought it last week for the bargain price of .20. Other than that, closed $VXX Oct 6th 44 puts for 6.53 (avg price). These are the “covered” puts against #LongPutDiagonals. This one’s gotten rough. Will have to figure a way of #Rolling later.

SVXY #shortcalls
Decision time approaching today – take assignment at 81 or realize loss of $11+. I think it will reverse slowly, once it settles at a bottom. The bubble has burst and a snap-back recovery, without tax reform, seems unlikely. Too many variables – I hope I’m not missing any?
#VXXGame Closed $SVXY Sept 15th 90 call for .40. This is the last call I had from the 100/180 strangles I sold for 18.95 back in March. I have one SVXY put remaining. That was sold as a roll, and I got out of most of it at decent prices. But I also rolled some into Sep 15th 77.5 puts, now underwater. #Rolling never ends!
#SPXcampaign #Rolling Sold to Open $SPX Aug 30th 2425/2400 put spreads for 6.00. This is a delayed roll from the Aug 2435/2410 put spreads stopped a few days ago. I’ll watch this one closely, or may ride it ITM.

Taking Profits
Bought to close Aug 21st 2480/2505 call spreads for 2.20. Sold for 8.90 on Monday. This was an extra spread I threw on, and I decided to close it now in case we’ve seen the bottom. I have two spreads that were sold ITM and are now just OTM that I will watch as I don’t want them to fall back way-ITM again.

After flipping to being mostly long from my busted short calls last quarter, I just closed the

#SPXcampaign $SPX I’m concerned we may have had another head-fake Downside Warning today… that would be two in a row and time to reassess the mechanics of the signal. I made many trades, some reverse-rolls and some standard rolls. I also clung onto to June 30th 2425/2400 put spread, which may be able to expire tomorrow. Here are my trades in order of execution:
Closed yesterday (but roll not filled): July 5th 2410/2435 call spreads for 20.85. (had planned to sell roll on any move up today, but didn’t get one)
Today:
Closed on GTC order: July 14th 2485/2510 call spreads for .20, with SPX at 2421.
#ITMroll: Sold July 12th 2395/2420/2445 #IronButterfly for an #IBroll of ITM spread above. Since I missed my chance to roll to new calls, chose to take this route and will roll the losing side. This got me 10 points higher on the call side.

Also, bought to close SPX Feb 21st 2250/2225 put spreads for .20. Sold for 3.60 on Feb 1st.
#SPXcampaign A standard campaign trade, and a more aggressive roll trade…
Sold to Open $SPX March 10th 2365/2390 call spreads for 1.30, with SPX at 2305
Sold to open $SPX Feb 24th 2320/2345 call spreads for 4.75, with SPX at 2306 #Rolling
#SPXcampaign Yesterday before the closing bell, I rolled a one-week out call spread:
Bought to close $SPX Feb 15th 2295/2320 call spreads for 6.75. Sold for 9.00 on Feb 3rd.
#Rolling: Sold to Open $SPX Feb 22nd 2300/2325 call spreads for 7.50.
This will be managed as an ITM spread… I will decide whether to roll based on the SPX price one week before expiration.
#SPXcampaign #Rolling a roll
Bought to close $SPX Feb 6th 2290 calls for 8.70. Sold as 2290/2315 call spreads for 4.10 on Wednesday. (saving the 2315 long calls for Monday in case we get a strong pop)
Sold to Open $SPX Feb 15th 2295/2320 call spreads for 9.00. Will roll this again off it is ATM or ITM next week (one week before expiration.
#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX March 3rd 2345/2370 call spreads for 1.40, with SPX at 2281. Missed fills on the early pop up.
#Rolling Sold to Open $SPX Feb 6th 2290/2315 call spreads for 4.10. It seems we are having trouble getting higher. So I am hedging my long trades with aggressive short trades. I will roll this if we break above 2290 before Monday’s expiration.
#OptionsExpiration Expired last night: SPX Jan 31st 2225/2200 put spreads. Sold as part of a #CondorRoll for 4.60 on Jan 6th.
#SPXcampaign #Rolling #LongSpread #RiskReversal
Sold to Open $SPX Feb 6th 2290/2315 call spreads for 6.70, as a roll from Jan 27th spread stopped earlier. This was a fat-fingered fill. Was trying to enter the order for 7.00 but it didn’t take. I can let this get ATM or even ITM and roll next Monday at the latest.
And for the possibility of a strong push into Friday, I did this Risk Reversal:
BOUGHT to Open $SPX Jan 27th 2300/2325 call spreads for 1.10
Sold to Open $SPX Jan 27th 2260/2235 put spreads for 1.10
If we don’t get the strong push, then I’ll be flat, UNLESS we go down below 2260 instead.

Bought to close $SPX Jan 19th 2330/2355 call spreads for .20. Sold for 1.60 on Dec 23rd.
Sold to Open $SPX Jan 23rd 2290/2315 call spreads for 4.35 as a roll.
After the bell: Sold to Open Jan 19th 2215/2240/2300/2325 iron condors for 3.25 as a roll. Slightly less aggressive than the near-term one I sold yesterday.
Expiring today: Jan 11th 2260/2235 put spreads. Sold for 1.55 on Friday.
#SPXcampaign Well it looks as if the rally is fizzling, dimming the prospects for a bigger bull push. It is still possible, but it could also be a much slower grind. As long as we’re having these small daily moves, I will sell some near-term condors to continue to fulfill my #Rolling needs.
#CondorRoll Sold to Open $SPX Jan 18th 2225/2250/2290/2315 iron condors for 4.65, with SPX at 2272.
#spxcampaign #rolling SPX call spread rolled
rolled Jan. 13 2060/2070 to Feb. 24 2070/2080 for a debit of 2.00. I’m going to be out of commission for a couple weeks, getting everything off after Jan. 20 for those weeks.
#SPXcampaign #CondorRoll #Rolling
We hit 2260 this morning so had to stop out of call spreads expiring tomorrow. I waited for the pullback off the highs:
Bought to close $SPX Jan 4th 2260/2285 call spreads for 4.00. Sold for 1.45 on Friday.
Sold to open $SPX Jan 23rd 2300/2325 call spreads for 2.55
Sold to Open $SPX Jan 23rd 2165/2140 put spreads for 1.60

#SPXcampaign #ReverseRoll Sold to Open $SPX Dec 28th 2270/2245 put spreads for 7.00. This is more #Rolling to make up for stopped call spreads, and also offsets three ATM/ITM call spreads I have now. I believe the push to Dow 20,000 will keep us moving up into January, and then we’ll see some pullback.
