Playing this rally as a DCB:
STO SPX August 26th 2022 4125/4150 BECS @ 10.50
SPX long puts
#SPX Sold to close $SPX May 13th 3800/3780 put spreads for 4.35. Bought for 1.00 on Tuesday.
SPX trades
SPX spec
#SPX Bought to Open $SPX May 13th 3800/3780 put spreads for 1.00. Now the hard part is when to sell it. Already a double.
SPX stopped
#SPX #SPX1dte Double loser for me today, clearly wrong about a short-term bearish direction (although still have until Friday on that trade), but also just stopped out on the 1-dte trade. Shouldn’t mess with the Fed, I guess.
Bought to close $SPX March 16th 4385/4405 call spreads for 3.30. Condors sold yesterday for 1.65.
SPX bearish
#SPX Taking a low risk trade to downside… The Fed will likely announce IR increase, but who really knows what short term effect will be? I believe we still have lower to go regardless of tomorrow’s decision. Right now we are hitting against the top of the downward channel on the daily chart.
Bought to Open $SPX March 18 4060/4040 put spreads for 1.75.
SPX trades
#SPX Sold to close $SPX May 9th 4320/4340 call spreads for 3.85. Bought yesterday for 2.50. I was away from the computer, so I got filled on the limit order at 9:38am PT, a little before today’s high.
SPX trades
Market Awareness
I don’t trade based on this indicator, but I know it is widely followed so I thought I would post for anyone interested. SPY’s 50-Day MA has been dropping relative to its 200-Day MA at about the rate of $1 a day. Since the spread is about $5 now, the famous (or infamous) “death cross” will occur around Monday or Tuesday barring any major changes.
SPX trades
#SPX Sold to close $SPX Mar 2nd 4400/4420 call spreads for 1.95. Bought yesterday for 2.20. This did not work out the way I wanted, as we went lower rather than higher into yesterday’s close. I fortunately got the opening bounce I was looking for, but from the lower level it’s not enough, so I’m closing now to keep the loss small. Theta is a stone-cold killer on options expiring today. I’m not waiting for the small (but possible) chance of a huge spike up based on what Powell says. I’ll save the chips for another day.
SPX trades
#SPX Bought to open $SPX Mar 2nd 4400/4420 call spreads for 2.20, with SPX at 4305. Just a small trade that we will move up into the close, or open higher tomorrow. Looking for a double or triple, not the full 20 spread.

SPX roll
#SPX 1-dte . Buying to close $SPX Nov 29th 3165/3185 call spreads for .80. Condors sold for .85 this morning, so (hopefully) the .05 profit will cover commissions. If it doesn’t fill, I will have to up my bid.
#ReverseRoll Sold to Open Nov 29th 3135/3115 put spreads for .60.
#SPX Morning. Been a while….
#SPX Morning. Been a while. Actually a long while. I’ve been getting the income portfolio set and deciding on whether and where to go next. Individual stocks, options, index spreads or even nothing at all. Spreads look to be the winner. Just can’t seem to master that swing trade / short term trade mind set. And rattling my cage, working in the garden, pulling weeds and walking the dog just doesn’t satisfy this old researcher’s mind. So I’ll see how this goes. Closed my two SPX call spreads, Oct 25th 3040/3050 and Oct 28th 3045/3055 this morning for 60% profits. Hopefully I can get WordPress to behave a little better using Firefox.

I guess the sellers are stronger than the buyers at this time.
Financials did not perform even with the Fed approval and stress test.
