Quoting The Fool
good job Cecil
Thx TF, also I am in GOOGL calls $1095 at $6.70 with a get out at $4.80 for 11 Jan exp should it go against me. On the DOW I have a max bounce to 24000 - 24360 area beyond that no idea so being cautious and trading accordingly.

I have been riding this rally on bullish trades set up over a week ago, everything has time out to late Jan. Looking to start banking some pwofits. SPXW, IWM, XRT....all mentioned above. Trading SPXW in the last 1-2 quarters has been a good change for me, except for one mistake and a $2 loss on a cash call scare, I have been happy. Still looking for those hot events to trade around, Jan FOMC all I have near term.

In the following from this morning:

LEA Jan19 140 PUT @ $2.10

I will probably get rid of it before the FOMC tomorrow, as it will probably be settling news and cause a spike. So the plan is to make a little money on it today, get out and get back in after the open on Friday if it still looks good.

Feb15 SPXW short puts 2250/2220 put on for $7.50 credit, coming off for 75c debit today, with luck. I want that bp back and don't need to wait around another month to get the last 6 bits....

hit the 75c mid but wouldn't fill....I have been thinking about holding it and selling a call vert against it, worthwhile with a month left, but waiting for the spoos to come up some more, and maybe shoot for a couple bucks credit out past 2750.....

Has a lowball bid to add to my position from yesterday and just checked and it was filled this morning!! Wasn't really expecting that with the bid/ask spread like it is...

STZ Feb19 170 CALL @ $1.15

That makes my average price for these at $1.45, and that's a good position to sit and wait for the move back up.

hit it at the Friday close. I missed the entire downturn but this one nice trade on the bounce was a decent consolation

bot SPY bull vert calls Feb1 $268/270 for 14c....when I did so, I was thinking the trade would protect the downside of a diagonal in SPX, so I am ready to put that on. My 10-lot SPY vert will just about cover the downside of a 1-lot SPX call diagonal out past $2700 approx

The Feb1/Feb8 SPX 2710/2730 diagonal costs 20c, will make money above 2630, and could pay $5 if spoos is at 2700 around expiry
