Quoting The Fool
A DOW sell-off at the end of the day will get me to >$5 on Jun29 DIA $249 puts, a net double+ on original $249/$257 strangle
it's gonna get there, I'm gonna git sum, not gonna fuck around. Of course, I'll end up leaving a ton on the table.

Quoting The Fool
I continue to self-flagellate with wishful thinking & bot a Jun29 DIA strangle $249/$257 for $2.22, looking for some direction....
Ok the puts paid $5 and they are gone. The calls are not worthless, though. I can use them to make a cheap Jun29 call fly. We'll see...

I filled a Jun29/Jul2 SPY call diagonal, $277/$278 for one centavo.

It's a bull market, Old Turkey!

A trade like this is all about the long call finish. A 1c debt could pay >$1 on a hard Monday rally.

Got a couple of put spreads on the sp e-mini and nq e-min. near the market highs.

sp 2760-2680. banked 5 contracts for $600 and sitting on the remaining 5 which are hovering around $400.
nq 7130-7090. banked 5 contracts for about $400 and sitting on the remaining 5 which are hovering around $400.

I should have pulled the nq since price nailed the spread floor and wasn't going to make me anymore money. Wasn't thinking on that one.

In my robinhood account i'm sitting on a some SPY puts which are sitting pretty.

Quoting JR97
In my robinhood account i'm sitting on a some SPY puts which are sitting pretty.
I had a bunch of SPX put flys that have come off worthless this week, but they were fishing pretty low and so were very cheap. The DIA strangle I had (see above somewhere) where I netted $5 on the puts would pay for losing nickel/dime trades for months. I am getting close to being flat and now will just try plinking at the slow bullish upgrind. Bear path always just a tweet away, though.

We are getting about 5-6 weeks out from next earnings season, which is often an IV low range to look fro cheap calendars. With the recent volatility, though, it will pay to wait and see if we get a bullish lull that drains down the iv some....

seems like there might be a little dip in Mex equities if AMLO wins, so maybe watch for a btfd op. Spreads are pretty bad in near-term EWW options

I did do a strangle on EWW at the close, but it's funky: long the Jul13 $48.50 calls and lomg the Jul6 $45 puts for a net debit of 88c. Plannjng on making money on both ends, gonna be epic.
