#SPXcampaign Bought to close $SPX Jan 17th 2280/2305 call spreads for 4.55. Sold for 7.00 on Dec 28th. Guess I was asleep earlier, I should have closed this when SPX was fdown, since it is one-week to expiration. Looking to roll this (and others) later today or this week).

This is the last call spread I’m trying to close. If there is a rally today and the market goes positive, I believe we will be making a run to 2300 this week.

#SPXcampaign. Got stuck in an unexpected 2-day pullback. Closed an ITM call spread yesterday and was waiting for strength to sell the roll. Instead, we are going down. So I’ve rolled to a less desirable spread, and need to sell more to make up for the hefty exit price.
