$SVXY #CoveredCalls #VXXGame – yesterday I covered about 20% of my overly large short Sep 60.0 Call position on SVXY at 0.95 and at 0.90.
Today I changed my mind and decided to re-establish the position. It occurred to me that I just added to my long stock position Friday via Put assignments, and might do so again this week if SVXY goes back down below 44.50.
Sold SVXY SEP 16 2016 60.0 Calls @ 1.55 / 1.60 / 1.65.

Had a meeting with my Boss right as the market opened so didn’t always get great fills. I’m planning to be done for the day unless there is some ugliness at the close that provides some opportunities. Sold all of these this morning. Premiums really didn’t jump as high as I was expecting and dropped off pretty quick.

UVXY puts coming in
#VXXGame I have been rolling underwater UVXY puts for weeks… in the end I would up really heavy on June 17th expiration, being short 18,17,15,14,13, and 12 puts expiring tomorrow. Imagine my luck that this is the week of the volatility pop!
BTC $UVXY June 17th 15 put for .40. Sold for 1.30 in March. Will scale out of more today and tomorrow, rolling anything that remains underwater.
Closing some SVXY covered calls
I’m taking these close to the money positions off at a profit before the FOMC statement, in the event a big swoon in volatility spikes SVXY and takes me out on Friday. I’m still short the 60 and 65 covered calls which I will let go if it gets that high. I’m also short 35 and 44.50 puts for this week’s expiration.

New all-time lows
#VXXGame New lows in UVXY (first time since April 19th) and new low in VXX, breaking its previous all-time low on August 5th, 2015.
#VXXGame
The only interesting thing I can say about today is that VIX, VXX, and UVXY are down, but have moved straight across since the early morning drop. Days like these often lead to a very sharp, steady plummet in UVXY, but not today. VIX reached new lows today, surpassing October’s low, but also has been straight across since morning. All of they while SPX has drawn a perfect 45 degree line UP since about 11am ET.
What does it mean? I don’t know what anything means in this market lately.
