{quote}what downside protection? Looks like a possibility of infinite loss to the downside to me....
I actually SELL options. So I’m bullish on AAPL but my trade can be profitable even if AAPL drops to 180.

{quote}sure go ahead and post your trades, including entries and exits. I don't trade like you do, but to each his own....
Actually I don’t buy or sell naked calls or puts very often. But I’ll try to post some trades.

I understand your trade but I guess there is invisible downside protection that I can not see?

itchy finger filled SPY Jun15/18 $270 calendar puts for nine centavos. Tried to fill Jun8/11 $277.5 calls for a dime I think, no go...look again tomorrow.

filled the SPX fly above for 35c, maxP at expiry is >$15

filled Jun22 UVXY $12.5/$13 bull vert calls for 8c...lol. I know, right?....Jun FOMC likely be super dovish even with a +25 bps tweak...they prolly poopoo on future hikes citing no inflation....maybe even whiff on the June hike, what do you think would happen then?

...breakout in effect albeit not a runaway train. I might try one more bullish SPY spread for early next week but ot feeling too compelled....'never short a dull tape' words to live by for almost a decade

I don't have anything bullish so just put on a small SPY call diag @ Jun8/Jun11 $279.5/$280 for 2c...if SPY puts on another $2 by Friday and I can net 15c on it I will be ok with that

......no fill on the diag

looking for risk assets to start to coast into next week, maybe slide a bit.....volatility to float up. G7 this weekend could generate some noise. Next week we have the FOMC and ECB - both could be bearish, with FOMC squeezing out another 25 bps ffr hike (baked in) and ECB talking QE reduction. DJT in Singapore with KJI a wild card. I am set with bearish trades m/l now just stocking up on popcorn.

....sorry this did not fill as it looks like a good finish today......as usual, all my bullish trades set to catch the grind up are making money and bearish ones not....familiar territory, maybe see a change next week....?
