#SPXcampaign With such an ugly close I see a very high chance that any short put spreads will open Monday at least a dollar further in the hole. So,

Bought to close $SPX Sept 23rd 2050/2025 put spreads for 2.55. Sold for 1.25 on Aug 24th. I will look to roll next week. This leaves me with only 4 put spreads going into next week, as opposed to 8 call spreads.

#SPXcampaign i have been trying to sell the 2220/2245 calls all day, but price kept slipping lower. So I threw in the towel and moved a strike lower.

#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX Sept 15th 2215/2240 call spreads for 2.40, with SPX at 2178. This is the second part of my ITM roll from Friday; I needed an extra 1.60 to make up for the debit that the roll required to move up a strike. I usually fill that gap with puts, but since we are up today and call spreads have been working brilliantly, I replaced the call spread that closed early this morning with this roll.

Bought to close $SPX Aug 26th 2135/2160 for 22.25. Sold last Friday for 21.50. This is my continued experiment of rolling out a fully ITM spread, one week and one strike higher at a time. Looking to sell the Sept 2nd 2140/2165 spread for 22.40. Probably can’t get that price, so I will take what I can get and add a put spread to make up the difference.

#SPXcampaign Sold to open $SPX Aug 31st 2210/2235 call spreads for 3.60, as a partial roll from stopped ITM spreads. We continue the grind higher, but it is slow enough that call spreads are working well, even fairly close to the money.

#SPXcampaign These are the rolls I’ve been dreading. In a case of bad timing, I didn’t close when we hit lows last week and got stuck closing at new highs. I would be holding through this if expiration was any later. I will be piecing together enough rolls to make up the loss.

Sold to Open $SPX Sept 2nd 2225/2250 call spreads for 1.60. I sold this spread on Monday as well… wanted to use the 2230 short for my second spread, but since I could only get about 1.10, I just doubled up on the 2225.

#SPXcampaign Earlier I closed the Aug 5th 2200 calls for .05 to clear up margin. A double-sized position that was sold as part of the 2200/2225 spread in two phases: for 1.30 on July 28th, and last week as part of a condor-roll for 1.49.

#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX Aug 24th 2200/2225 call spreads for 2.80, with SPX at 2163.

#SPXcampaign Bought to close $SPX Aug 12th 2050/2025 put spreads for .40. Sold for 2.75 on July 8th. This was an over-sized position that I didn’t want to leave out there now that the market has shown some volatility. A successful roll in my build-back of call spread losses.

#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX Aug 18th 2110/2085 put spreads for 2.50. This order filled at the low tick of the day, 2166.
