If these go in the money by Friday, the market should be in rally mode. 🙂

Lots of old long calls(TNA, TQQQ, and VXX) and long puts (VXX) rolling off this month. At least I got one more write against them. Hardly had to roll anything this week.

My next set of long puts in VXX expire in August and ALL my short puts are expiring today, so plenty of time for re-writes against those longs.

Short trading week next week.

A good week despite Monday’s high volatility. The abnormal move Monday in VXX allowed for some great premiums on the final write against some long VXX calls left over from previous diagonal spreads.
The strong market even brought my overly large TQQQ stock position back to even. I got lucky with calls expiring in TLRY, TNA and even TQQQ.

A strong market again this week but finally some short calls in LABU and TNA expired . TLRY put on a major run in the last 2 days so I’ll be making some cash on covered calls and bear call spreads next week.
VXX remains elevated, so I was able to pre-sell some of next week’s calls as every VXX short position expired this week.

Reacting to the severe drops in stocks like LABU, RIVN, TNA and TQQQ, I spent most of the week setting up diagonal bear call spreads that all worked to give me some cash flow.
A partial recovery in the market today also helped me to roll my puts in these for small credits.
And once again, I threaded the needle by having VXX close above 20 and below 21.50 and all the VXX puts and calls expired (along with some old long VXX calls left over from previous spreads).
