#SPXcampaign one minute after the close: Bought to close $SPX Nov 13th 2110/2135 call spreads for .20. Sold for 1.20 on Oct 22nd. Was planning to let this expire Friday, but I hadn’t taken off my GTC order yet. It filled right after the bell, so now I can forget about it.

#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX Dec 11th 1920/1895 put spreads for 1.25, with SPX at 2075. This is the second and final put spread I’m selling for Dec 11th expiry. I also sold a call spread yesterday, so I need one more call spread to complete the Dec 11th campaign.

#SPXcampaign Working on selling my second put spread for Dec 11 expiry… trying to pick the bottom; now looking at 1910/1885 for at least 1.25

#SPXcampaign In pre-market, bought to close Nov 19th 1925/1900 put spreads for .20. Sold for 1.25 on Oct 27th.

#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX Dec 11th 2165/2190 call spreads for 1.25, with SPX at 2082.

#SPXcampaign Sold to Open $SPX Nov 30th (monthly) 1915/1940/2145/2170 iron condors for 2.00, as a roll from the Nov 13th 2040 spread closed earlier today, 1.5x position size.

I chose Nov 30th expiration as it is not part of the normal weekly strategy, since it is an end-of-month expiration, this time on a Monday. Therefore I had no spreads already in this expiry. I chose an iron condor to balance the risk on both sides, so I could go further OTM on the puts and above all-time highs on the calls.

#SPXcampaign Bought to close $SPX Nov 13th 2130/2155 call spreads for .25. Closed today to free up some margin space.

#SPXcampaign Well, we knew downside was bound to come… just maybe not all in one day. I put on a couple of aggressive Nov 13th put spreads in recent days to take advantage of non-stop upside. Got stopped out of 2050 spread already, now

Bought to Close $SPX Nov 13th 2040/2015 put spreads for 2.95. $3 stop was hit; waited for bounce to get out cheaper. Will wait before rolling this one.

After this, I have a fair amount of room before other put spreads are threatened.

Current signal levels for a downside warning to take effect are $VIX 17.91 (1-2 day 25% increase), and 19.20 (50% up from swing low). The 17.91 is from Friday’s low, so will be in effect until end of Tuesday.

#SPXcampaign Taking a stop on $SPX Nov 13th 2050/2025. It’s difficult to do that at what could be the bottom of the day, but that’s what stops are for. Trying to get out for 2.90 on a bounce.

#SPXcampaign STO $SPX Dec 11th 1940/1915 put spreads for 1.30, with SPX at 2091. This is the first of two put spread I will sell this week for the Dec 11th expiry.
