SPX stuck
#SPXcampaign It seems we may like to stay in consolidation. Last week we had a small push up that never amounted to much, and this week we’ve had the same thing down. In the end, we’re still stuck. Maybe jobs report Friday will unstick us, but I’m not waiting.
Adding an extra condor, each side sold separately:
Sold to Open $SPX Feb 21st 2300/2325 call spreads for 5.40

#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX March 3rd 2345/2370 call spreads for 1.40, with SPX at 2281. Missed fills on the early pop up.
#Rolling Sold to Open $SPX Feb 6th 2290/2315 call spreads for 4.10. It seems we are having trouble getting higher. So I am hedging my long trades with aggressive short trades. I will roll this if we break above 2290 before Monday’s expiration.

#SPXcampaign Bought to open $SPX Feb 13th 2330/2355 call spreads for .35 earlier. Another cheap long shot, but the kind of trade that can explode if a rally pushes through. I have the same spread expiring this coming Monday, Feb 6th, that is now unlikely to do much. I am trying for another week since both yesterday and today failed to get ugly and ended with a rally.

Double down, risk-reversal
#SPXcampaign Considering this pullback as an opportunity. I doubled down on a #LongCallSpread… Bought to Open $SPX Feb 6th 2330/2355 call spreads for .25. Bought the first batch for 1.35 last week. Cost basis now .85.
Then, sold to open SPX Feb 3rd 2245/2220 put spreads for 1.35. This turns the long spreads into a #RiskReversal, reducing my cost to only .30 for a double-sized long spread. If we start to rally into Friday’s job report, the long spread could get back to 2.00 or 3.00. If not, my loss is minimal. Of course, if this is beginning a correction, then it’s not so pretty.

#SPXcampaign #Rolling #LongSpread #RiskReversal
Sold to Open $SPX Feb 6th 2290/2315 call spreads for 6.70, as a roll from Jan 27th spread stopped earlier. This was a fat-fingered fill. Was trying to enter the order for 7.00 but it didn’t take. I can let this get ATM or even ITM and roll next Monday at the latest.
And for the possibility of a strong push into Friday, I did this Risk Reversal:
BOUGHT to Open $SPX Jan 27th 2300/2325 call spreads for 1.10
Sold to Open $SPX Jan 27th 2260/2235 put spreads for 1.10
If we don’t get the strong push, then I’ll be flat, UNLESS we go down below 2260 instead.
SPX call spread stopped
#SPXcampaign Looks like the boredom could be over. Having to stop a call spread for the first time in awhile…
Bought to close $SPX Jan 27th 2280/2305 call spread for 6.65. Sold for 7.40 on Jan 13th.
Since an Upside Warning is still in effect, this could easily turn into a run up above 2300. I will be rolling the above spread to a higher, farther out call spread. Also keeping a watch on the Jan 30th 2280/2305 spread I sold yesterday. Will cut it loose if we don’t stop at 2280.
The Jan 25th 2285/2310 call spread that closed on my GTC order this morning for .20? Now trading for 2.30. This is why I don’t allow close call spreads to expire, even if there’s only one day left.

SPX condor sold
#SPXcampaign Well it looks as if the rally is fizzling, dimming the prospects for a bigger bull push. It is still possible, but it could also be a much slower grind. As long as we’re having these small daily moves, I will sell some near-term condors to continue to fulfill my #Rolling needs.
#CondorRoll Sold to Open $SPX Jan 18th 2225/2250/2290/2315 iron condors for 4.65, with SPX at 2272.
