SVXY experiment

#ShortCalls #VXXGame – Looks like my tiny stock position will go away today so will be needing some protection for a bunch of Jan 2018 short calls. Even though all the strikes are above even my most aggressive projections for SVXY, I’m trying a new style of “protection”.

Sold 3 SVXY JAN 19 2018 200.0/190.0 Bull put spreads @ 7.20

If she continues up towards my lowest SVXY projection, this makes nice cash prior to any short call strikes getting hit. If it tanks, no matter how low it goes, I’ll own the stock 2.80 below where it’s trading at the time.

Anything between 200 and 225 (my lowest call strike) everything is a max winner and 2018 will be off to a great start. Reasonable protection for cheap with very little downside risk. I like it!

EDIT… ” I’ll own the stock 2.80 below where it’s trading at the time”.

It looks like one batch of Apr 28 $30 calls will be called away.
Another batch of Apr 28 $33 calls will expire. Whew, they had a 0.13 delta looking safe when sold, but DUST was trading over $34 yesterday and today, causing worry and shifting securities between accounts. I am ready for yard work this weekend to relax.

IF $CMG continues down next week I will try to close the 5/5 call. Stuff not liquid. I was going to close the 4/28 for the whole enchilada loss but there was no volume. I put this roll order in and was filled almost immediately. Makes me feel I did something bad. ;-{

Originally rolled Mar 17 2017 125.0 Calls up to these 137.50 Calls for a 0.20 credit.
At the time the strike was above the alltime high in SVXY.
The new strike is right at the current alltime high. Maybe this one will work.

On the plus side I have 27 short SVXY puts expiring today. So It’s not all bad.
