#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX May 25th 1975/1950 put spreads for 1.50, with SPX at 2032.
I don’t like selling the monthlys with their AM settlement for short-term fear-trade, so I jumped to next Wednesday’s. I may try to close end of today if we rally back enough.

Meanwhile, two spreads touched my 3.00 stops at the bottom today. I am not closing yet… will wait to see how day settles and decide from there. If we start another sharp drop I will close at least one of them and roll.

VIX has popped today but is still pretty far from its lowest signal level (18.75).

#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX June 1st 2105/2130 call spreads for 1.50. Selling these as a roll and offsetting a put spread I have to create an iron condor for this expiry (Wednesday weeklys).

#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX May 27th 2125/2150 call spreads for 1.30. Sadly, this was a previously stopped spread as SPX rallied above 2110. Now it goes back on, hopefully to die silently rather than violently.

#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX May 19th 2015/1990 put spreads for 1.30, with SPX at 2076. This will complete my rolls for the May 19th expiry, since I stopped a put spread on April 29th.

#SPXcampaign Bought to close $SPX May 13th 2150/2175 call spreads for .20. Sold for 1.67 in mid-April. I have more call spreads than put spreads so closing these releases margin.

Bought to close $SPX May 27th 1950/1925 put spreads for 2.25. Sold for 1.25 yesterday.

Closed these two before the 3.00 stop level to avoid waking up Monday to a bloodbath. I had too many put spreads that would all hit their stops at about the same time. Leaving plenty of risk on, but lightening the load. Now I’ll consider a call spread on rally into close.

#SPXcampaign Bought to close $SPX May 11th (Wednesday) 2050/2025 puts spreads for 7.60. Sold for 3.50 on April 21st as a roll. Will look to sell an IC as a roll.

Sold to Open $SPX May 27th 2165/2190 call spreads for 1.50 (standard weekly spread)

#SPXcampaign In pre-market, bought to close Apr 29th 2125/2150 call spreads for .40. Sold for 1.35 on March 28th. Put on the close order yesterday as an attempt to exit before Fed… didn’t fill during the day. I wish I’d remembered to take the order off when I saw futures were down before bed (or at least lowered to .20). But, I’ll take the winner anyway.

#SPXcampaign Bought to close $SPX May 27th 2125/2150 call spreads for 6.00. Sold for 4.50 on March 29th. Not a bad loss, but the call side continues to be toxic. I am reserving any and all calls for above 2150. I will look for roll options to replace this loss.

#SPXcampaign Six minutes after close, bought to close $SPX May 19th 2125/2150 call spreads for 6.00. Sold for 3.50 on March 16th as a roll. This is one of three spreads I have at 2125. Stopping since we breached my 20-pt stop at 2105. Will wait the others out… I believe the upside momentum will slow a lot now that we are near the November high of 2116.

#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX May 13th 2050/2025 put spreads for 3.50. Aggressive trade as a roll from stopped call spreads.

#SPXcampaign On the spike down this morning, Bought to close $SPX Apr 22 2100/2125 call spreads for 3.00. Sold for 2.50 on March 24th. Only a small loss, but since my 2080 stop level has been hit, need to clear the way for the freight train going north. A slow train can kill you as much as a fast one if you’re just lying on the tracks… might even be worse; a slow painful crushing rather than a quick death.

#SPXcampaign Yesterday, Sold to Open June 16th 1900/1875 put spreads for 2.00. I realized I sold a call spread weeks ago (2175/2200) in this expiry so a put spread would be margin free.

In today’s pre-market, Bought to close $SPX May 6th 2100/2125 call spread for 8.00. Sold for 5.00 on April 3rd (as a roll). Will look at add more rolls soon.
