#shortcalls #Volatility
BTC Jan 2018 $100 Calls for $57 (margin sale I didn’t see coming), sold $19.25 4 months ago. Once again held on too long expecting pullback that never came. Painful lesson. It has taken so many small trades to get wiped out in one extremely bad trade is disheartening.

Sold to open $PANW April 21st 130 call for .80
I put in these prices based on the early pop to 116, and that clearly was too soon, as the stock made it above 119. These are against my April 135 puts which were rolled after the earnings miss.
$SVXY #ShortCalls #Rollup – not being a trusting soul and thinking that this volatility move might be short-lived, I’m rolling a portion of my ITM short calls for next week up to a strike price above the YTD high.
