#SPX7dteLong Sold to close $SPX June 8th 3130/3150 call spreads for 16.85. Condors bought last Wednesday for 17.10. I’m taking a small loss now on the possibility of a roll over and going negative. If we do that in the next hour or two I should be able to get some decent premium for selling the 3120/3100 put side.
#SPX7dteLong $SPX July 6th 3045/3065 call spread expired with full credit of 20.00. Condors bought last Monday for 18.05. I wasn’t able to place one for next Monday; will do it tomorrow.

#SPX7dtelong Sold to close $SPX June 24th 3110/3090 put spreads for 6.90. Betting on a recovery by the close so I can sell the call 3120/3140 call spread at least partially ITM. Condors bought for 18.40 last Wednesday.

Also, added the remaining call spreads that I wasn’t filled on yesterday for June 24th 3090/3110-3120/3140 for 1.05 less than yesterday.
#SPX7dteLong Bought to Open $SPX June 24th 3090/3110-3120/3140 condors for 18.55. I tried legging in but it didn’t help the pretty high premium on this, due volatility the last hour. Only partially filled on the call side so I will try to add the last contracts tomorrow.

#SPX7dteLong Legged out of the $SPX June 17th 3180/3200-3210/3230 condor on the swings this morning.

#SPX7dteLong Missed my chance for small profit yesterday and instead sold to close $SPX June 12th 3200/3220 call spreads this morning for 1.20. Bought for 9.30 last Friday. As I commented then, throwing in the towel on the relentless bull run probably would mark the top.
I am skipping the #SPX1dte for tomorrow. Premium is not high enough for the risk.

#SPX7dteLong. Bought to Open $SPX June 12th 3200/3220 call spreads for 9.25, with SPX at 3192. Only going with call side this time. Which probably means I just called the market top!

#SPX1dte STOPPED: BTC $SPX June 5th 3160/3180 call spreads for 6.75. Condors sold for 1.05 yesterday. Even with expected job losses, I didn’t expect market to drop today. But certainly did not expect this explosion. I will not be selling call spreads as often in this environment.
#SPX7dteLong Sold to close $SPX June 5th 3040/3020 put spreads for .80. Looking to close the call side before today’s close. Want to avoid the possible volatility after tomorrow morning’s #Jobs report.

I realized today that I mistakenly SOLD my June 3rd 2990/3010-3020/3040 7dteLong condor instead of buying it (sold for 17.25 on Wednesday). So today I BTC the call spread for 11.00, and am now looking to close the put spread for 4.40 before the close.
Regarding today’s expiration, the sale of the 2940/2920 put side of my 1-dte condors yesterday effectively closed my long put spread of the same strikes I sold last Friday. So at the open today, I sold the May 29th 2960/2940 put spread for .85. That should expire with full profit.
#SPX7dteLong Bought to Open $SPX June 3rd 2990/3010-3020/3040 condors for 17.25, with SPX at 3019.
I did not close the put side of today’s condor. It went as high as 7.00 but I decided to hold it to see if I could get more. I had made 1.60 on the trade so it was a conscious decision.

My expirations today, both 7dte and 1dte, are in trouble at the moment. My best hope will be a close below 2920. Otherwise I will be mitigating losses.

#SPX7dteLong. Bought to open $SPX May 1st 2810/2830-2840/2860 condors for 18.05.
Earlier, sold to close Apr 24th 2840/2820 put spreads for 15.20, and 2850/2870 calls spreads for .30. Bought last week for 18.30. Second loss on this strategy… still learning a bit as I go, but could have waited a bit later in the morning and gotten 17.00+ for put side.
The SPX has been consolidating around 2800 for over a week, making this strategy less palatable.
