New all time highs in SVXY
#VXXGame Closed my other SVXY July 21st 85 call for 5.65. Wish I’d dumped them both this morning. This thing is flying and VIX approaching new decades-low as SPX is fairly stagnant.

#ReverseRoll #ShortStrangles – I may let some stock go next week via the covered call route. Adjusting my August strangle to possibly get long again but also limiting risk.
Originally sold 80/180 strangle for 3.55 but starting to wonder about the 180 call so pulling the @Jeff reverse roll.
Rolled SVXY AUG 18 2017 180.0 Call to AUG 18 2017 185.0/175.0 Bull Put spread @ 2.20 credit.
Total premium received is now 5.75 on the 10 wide spread. Keeps going up it’s all good. If she tanks no matter how low it goes I’ll be in the stock at a basis 4.25 above where it’s trading at the time…lower the better if an implosion happens! Now…do I resell the call side? 🙂
WYNN
#ShortStrangles – Can’t catch a break on Fridays on this thing. Rolling again….these are sold against DITM short calls so the drop is a good thing long term. Was trying to whack it pretty hard in the short term too though. Grrr…
BTW…just a coupe days ago Dr. J said he’s long and strong on this. Probably won’t get mentioned today since he seems to never be on the wrong side of a trade…LMAO!

REGN…now the bad
#ShortStrangles – What a move! I sure didn’t see a two month 200 point move in a 350 dollar stock coming. Had something like 350/450 strangles when this thing took off. Rolled the 450 out to Sep and started rolling the 350 up as she climbed. Wasn’t nearly aggressive enough and kept getting further behind. Finally bailed on the whole thing yesterday when I heard new health care proposal could be pretty friendly to drug companies.
Long story short…gave back all of my REGN profits for the year plus about another 25 points. Being hard headed, I’ll set that aside and look to get it back on next pullback. Grrr…hate getting thumped by one of my all time favorite tickers. I thought we were friends!
TSLA
#ShortStrangles – Making an adjustment but adding a little downside protection…
Started out as a Jan 2018 175/500 strangle @ 6.10 credit
Rolled 175 to 250 @ 7.40 credit
Today rolled 250 to a 300/200 bull put spread @ 6.27 credit.
Position now 300/200 BuPS against 500 call @ 19.77 credit.
Can this thing see 500 by Jan 2018? TOS says 85 percent chance it won’t get there and a 70 percent chance 300 won’t get hit so still slightly higher downside risk.

#RiskReduction #ShortStrangles – It’s been a pretty good ticker this year so not gonna press my luck with the weakness today. Keeping my long term position in the #IRA but closing the nearer term strangles for small profit.
Bought to Close EWZ JUL 21 2017 31.0/37.0 Strangles @ .67 (sold for .82)
Getting out of the zone
Well at least some of it.
Bought to close $AZO 7/21 550 put @ 1.30. Sold for 4.50 on 5/23.
Taking my 70%+ profit and freeing up some margin. Still short Sep 480 and Dec 500.

XBI first timer
#ShortStrangles – Thanks to @hcgdavis for reminding me of this one. More premium and lower margin than my IBB strangles…
Sold 5 XBI JUL 21 2017 68.0/78.0 Strangles @ 1.20
For comparison selling the same deltas in IBB in July would be:
IBB 285/315 @ 3.65
One IBB strangle vs five in XBI is same margin (2800) with XBI bringing in nearly 70 percent more premium…
IBB
#ShortStrangles – Finally out of this after quite a bit of rolling (for credit). Moving this margin allotment over to XBI. Think it’s a little more bang for the buck.

Sold NVDA JUL 21 2017 180.0/150.0 Bull Put Spreads @ 15.16
That keeps the new position in expirations prior to earnings. If we don’t get an earnings run I should be able to make a nice roll into the high IV of earnings. You know IV will be through the roof this time!
Not getting greedy so don’t want a double size bullish position so:
Bought to Close NVDA JUN 16 2017 170.0 Puts @ 7.70
That’s considerably less than I received for multiple roll ups this week…still preserving 17.70 premium and now completely out of the PITA call side and reducing margin required by about two thirds. Downside is I’m highly directional now…gulp!
NVDA
#ShortStrangles Sometimes to stop the insanity you have to do something insane. Time will tell if this was it…LOL
Rolled Jun monthly 160 puts up to 170 @ 7.50 credit.
Current position now 170/150 inverted @ 25.24
That’s still over a 5 dollar winner if NVDA finishes in between the strikes next week. Even if it does I may do some rolling to try and keep more of the premium. Can we classify this in the #TakeOneForTheTeam category?
NVDA adjustment
#ShortStrangles – Still looks to be headed to 155 or higher so still rolling puts up. Overall position nicely profitable so waiting for a little more theta to get out. Don’t want the short calls to get away so staying aggressive into next week. Keeping long deltas until the stock tells me otherwise.
Rolled Jun monthly 155 puts up to 160 @ 3.62 credit.

Bought to Close REGN JUN 2 2017 462.5 Puts @ .25 (sold for 15.85) Now collected over 32 points in premium on the way up. Will start using some of that to roll up the Sep 425 call I’ve been selling against.

ISRG
#ShortStrangles – Still working it…almost a 25 percent move since earnings six weeks ago. Rolling the un-threatened side and position size (1) has saved this trade. Nothing goes up forever but starting to wonder. LOL
Bought to Close ISRG JUN 2 2017 910.0 Put @ .16 (sold for 7.00)
Used some of that premium:
Rolled Jun 30th 870 Call to Jul 14th 880 call @ 5.74 debit…that gets the call up a little and into the week before earnings. I’ll leave it there and possibly keep rolling up while still pocketing some weekly premium.

#shortstrangles borderline falling knife trade…
#shortstrangles borderline falling knife trade with oil down 4+% today.
STO /CL 41.5/57 Aug 17 (53 DTE) strangles at 0.41. Can only do this in margin account.
I have been doing these but have not been posting because the risk is up there but everyone here knows what they are doing so I will start sharing some of them. I only trade as many contracts as I have cash to cover a sustained move by either going long or short the future same # of contracts as options I sold. Currently $3000-4000 margin for each contract. You can also roll options but because of contract changes cannot always roll directly.
I start managing about 2-3 weeks after putting them on. There was a study a few years back that showed delta 8 options in oil decay almost 50-80% in 30 days from 60 days out. Can usually close around 30-50% profit in 3 weeks. As we all know, oil can move so these are positions you have to watch. I will first roll untested side and if that does not cover the move then add the future for some hard deltas. When you have a big move you can profit from both the option decay and the future movement and get a nice pop in your equity curve.
Cheer, Chris

#ShortStrangles – Nearly a 20 percent move in a month. Pretty impressive. Making a small adjustment…
Rolled this week’s 865 put up to 880 @ 4.00 credit
Rolled Jun 30th 862.5 call up to 867.5 @ 3.70 debit
Preserves my original premium in this week’s put sale while easing the ITM call up a little…
ISRG adjustment
#ShortStrangles – Spending a little of the weekly premium accumulated to make a small roll up. Trying to keep all of these in the expirations prior to the next earnings announcement. Then, if I still have the position, it can be rolled up or down quite a bit for a credit rolling it into the high IV of an earnings week.
Rolled ISRG JUN 16 2017 855.0 Call to JUN 30 2017 862.5 Call @ 1.16 debit
Sold against next week’s 865.0 put…total premium for the entire position is now down to 27.20. Would still love to be out by earnings. Amazing move on this thing…120 points from the low the day before earnings. 16 percent in 3 weeks. Are stocks like this actually worth that much?
CMG roll

Now short this week’s 865.0 put @ 14.65 selling against a June 855.0 call. With no pullback the plan is to take a little of the put premium and pay to roll up the call and sell another put next week.

Total premium received for 2 weeks of put sales now up to 16.50. At some point might use a little of this to roll up Sep 420 calls…
NVDA reverse roll
You can scroll down a couple posts to my comment in Jeff’s “NVDA, partial roll” thread to see my reasoning for this. Basically, Dan pointed out in his free video last night the weekly squeeze in NVDA. TOS shows it just getting started and JC says these usually run 8-10 bars.
Because of all of this, and all the premium booked yesterday, I feel I can get a little directional and if it doesn’t work can get the stock at a very nice basis if required.
Rolled Sep 120 and 130 calls to Jun 140 puts @ 1.50 debit avg per contract
Sold NVDA JUN 16 2017 150.0 Calls @ .80
More than made up that .70 debit with this:
Bought to Close NVDA MAY 19 2017 128.0 Put @ 2.45 (sold for 5.76)
Bought to Close NVDA MAY 19 2017 129.0 Put @ 3.15 (sold for 6.58)
Bought to Close NVDA MAY 19 2017 130.0 Put @ 3.45 (sold for 7.54)
Bought to Close NVDA MAY 19 2017 131.0 Put @ 4.05 (sold for 7.77)
Bought to Close NVDA MAY 19 2017 132.0 Put @ 4.75 (sold for 8.42)
So, what’s the big picture?
Stock moves up it’s all good. Stock tanks and I roll puts down and eventually own the stock 8 dollars below the put strike since total premium so far is about 8 dollars per contract. Hopefully can have this all wrapped up by next earnings where we can do it all again! 🙂 🙂
IBB
#ShortStrangles – Filled earlier but missed it. Sold against a 295 put. We’ll see where that ends up next week before selling another call.

#ShortStrangles – I’m feeling like tomorrow’s 430.0 puts will be safe (sold for 6.30)
So:
Rolled Aug 410 calls to Sep 420 calls @ 3.25 debit…I’ll keep the other 3.05 as a profit. With these that far out in time it will cost about 3 dollars for evey 5 dollar roll up. I’ll try to keep collecting 5-6 per week to finance that and book some profit.
ISRG adjustment
#ShortStrangles – Rolled May 12th 850.0 put out to May 19th 850.0 @ 2.25 credit
Sold against June 855.0 call…once I feel this call is safe I’ll start rolling the put down and out. I’d like to be completely out of this position by next earnings.
Since earnings one ISRG strangle has brought in 20.65 in premium against 11k margin.
NVDA
#Earnings #ShortStrangles – Had an existing inverted strangle along with an earnings strangle. Adjusting all of them…
Bought to Close NVDA MAY 12 2017 98.0 Puts @ .02 (sold for 1.96)
Bought to Close NVDA MAY 12 2017 113.0 Puts @ .97 (sold for 4.40)
And on the little opening dip:
Sold NVDA MAY 12 2017 118.0 Puts @ 4.34
Sold NVDA MAY 12 2017 118.0 Puts @ 3.16 (too slow on this one)
With these secondary “double dip” put sales I’m testing the John Carter theory that says a gap up beyond the expected move usually continues it’s run so sold the puts in the money for Friday.
Still holding short 108 and 112 calls that will be rolled out or out into new strangles later this week.

#ShortStrangles – To eliminate any risk of overnight assignment…
Rolled this week’s 490 put out two weeks to 487.5 @ .55 credit. This is against a DITM short call so a welcome pullback.
REGN never a dull moment
#ShortStrangles – Learned (again) another valuable lesson. Had short calls on this thing that could’ve been closed for pretty cheap one week ago today. Now…not so much after a straight up 70 dollar move in a week. These calls (382.5 and 390) will be rolled to new strangles or way out and up and then sell the crap out of weeklies against them.
The good news is I chased short puts all the way up the run collecting great premium along the way….
Currently the puts are:
422.5 @ 23.25 each average. These include rolls from 375 to 380 to 385 to 395 to 400 to 410 to 422.5…LOL!
Lots of maneuvering room here but would’ve been much easier to take the 80 percent of max winner last week…

Total premium received on the 490 put is now up to 9.56. Plan is to keep selling at or slightly in the money puts every week until a reversal. Otherwise will have plenty of credit in the position for a debit roll of the call.

WYNN again
#ShortStrangles – WYNN did it to me again….same as last quarter. Changed earnings dates the weekend before the announcement. Had rolled my strangle into what was supposed to be the week before earnings. Plan was to then have a nice adjusting roll into earnings week. Turned out to be the week of earnings so IV exploded along with a huge move so adjusting again. Kind of a pain but has been a nice cash generator last few months.

Rolled 815/800 inverted strangle out to next week’s 817.5/815 inverted @ .20 credit.
New position is now 817.5/815 inverted @ 15.33
I’d prefer the call side to expire since the put should be easier to roll. Another option would be to roll whatever side is left out to a new, wider strangle.
IBB adjustment
#ShortStrangles – Rolled this week’s 295 put out to May monthly @ 3.00 credit. Sold against a 300 call…
Position now 295/300 strangle @ 8.65
EWW adjustment
#ShortStrangles – Looks like the short term run is over. Closing put side of strangle at even and re-selling in the same expiration where I rolled the calls earlier.
Bought to Close EWW APR 21 2017 52.5 Puts @ 1.73 (sold for 1.75)
Sold EWW MAY 12 2017 49.0 Puts @ .61
New position is now May 12th 49/50 Strangles @ 1.43
CMG
#ShortStrangles – Bought to Close CMG APR 21 2017 455.0 Put @ .10 (sold for 6.15 after a couple roll ups)
Still have the short 440 call from the other side of the strangle. With earnings next week I could roll it up a few strikes and sell another aggressive put or just split it up into a new strangle…
$ISRG #ShortStrangle #Earning – Sold…
