#SPXcampaign STOPPED, closed $SPX Aug 23rd 2410/2385 put spreads for 4.35. Sold as part of a #CondorRoll for 7.15 on Aug 10th. Will roll later.
#ReverseRoll Sold Sep 1st 2465/2490 call spreads for 3.30. This is a roll from put spread stopped yesterday after the closing bell.
SPX next-day closed
#SPXcampaign Closed $SPX Aug 11th 2420/2395 put spreads for 3.40. Sold yesterday for 2.20. A morning low less than 3 points OTM too close for comfort. Managing three stops, so I got out earlier than I wanted on this current bounce.

#SPXcampaign Bought to close $SPX Sep 1st 2375/2350 put spreads for 2.90. Sold for 1.30 on July 31st. This hit my 3.00 stop before the close, so I closed it on the bounce after the close. I will roll tomorrow.
Ugly close so I wanted at least one put spread out of the way if we gap down in the morning.
Also after the bell, closed on GTC order: Aug 23rd 2480/2505 call spreads for .20. Sold as part of a #CondorRoll for 7.15 last Thursday.
More SPX
#SPXcampaign #Rolling Sold to Open $SPX Aug 30th 2425/2400 put spreads for 6.00. This is a delayed roll from the Aug 2435/2410 put spreads stopped a few days ago. I’ll watch this one closely, or may ride it ITM.
Earlier, closed on GTC order: Sep 8th 2525/2550 call spreads for .20. Sold for 1.55 on Aug 7th.
SPX next-day
#SPXcampaign Looking to sell a put spread expiring tomorrow. Currently eyeing the 2420/2395. However, there’s still 47 minutes left in the day and no bounce seems to be coming. So I’ve also got the 2415/2390 up and watching for best entry before the close.
New multi-week low just hit.

#SPXcampaign Bought to close $SPX Aug 17th (monthly) 2465 calls for 3.30. Sold as 2465/2490 call spread for 3.85 last Friday.
I was tracking this one for optimal exit. On the spike down I went to adjust my ask lower, but it filled at 3.30 before I could. Happy to be out with small profit since this was trading above 12.00 yesterday.

#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX Sep 14th 2515/2540 call spreads for 2.40. A little higher delta than I usually sell for my standard campaign, but I already sold the 2520 short, and the 2525 short was not lucrative enough.
Also, closed on GTC order in pre-market: SPX Aug 17th 2395/2370 put spreads for .20. Sold for 1.35 on July 20th.

SPX next-day closed

SPX puts closed
#SPXcampaign I have a couple ATM call spreads and and one ATM put spread expiring next week. I’ve been watching to see which I should roll (maybe both). At the moment I feel we have topped out for the day and will close lower, so I closed:
$SPX Aug 18th 2435/2410 put spreads for 5.85. Sold as part of a #CondorRoll for 6.70 on July 19th.
I will look to roll to another put spread when put premium increases.

Taking Profits
Bought to close Aug 21st 2480/2505 call spreads for 2.20. Sold for 8.90 on Monday. This was an extra spread I threw on, and I decided to close it now in case we’ve seen the bottom. I have two spreads that were sold ITM and are now just OTM that I will watch as I don’t want them to fall back way-ITM again.

Sold to Open SPX Aug 9th 2440/2415 put spreads for 2.10. To get back to normal order, I’m going to sell spreads further out until we have the next decent drop. It will take longer to make up for some of my stop-losses, but with market uncertainty I’m getting whipped around too much with ATM and NTM spreads.
SPX shake out
#SPXCampaign Couldn’t hold onto these with weakness today.
Bought to close $SPX July 28th 2465 puts for 3.00. Sold in the 2465/2440 put spread for 3.70 on July 20th. Will sell the long 2440 puts if we drop more.

I am backing off on put rolls for now, given the market weakness. I have too many spreads near the money. Had been looking to close out the week on a high note with weakness more likely next week, but it came early so now I’m on guard. My main goal now is to get back to normal order with fewer spreads so close to the money.

SPX needed pullback
#Market #SPXcampaign Don’t let today’s pullback fool you… I believe we are still going higher in next couple weeks at least. If you agree, be sure to use this pullback to release pressure from call spreads and sell some aggressive put spreads. Don’t go overboard, but don’t miss the opportunity to shift weight from short-the-market to long.
