In the following:

SPY Jan27 331 PUT @ $1.22

Order was hit while I was typing the previous post....a nice surprise! Too bad the $1.15 order wasn't hit!!

Added to the following:

SPY Jan27 331 PUT @ $1.06 for an average of $1.14....should be good for some money.

Moved the $1.15 order down to $1.05, but had to chase it to $1.06 just to make sure I got it. Should make it to 330, maybe down to 10EMA of ~328...

In the following this morning:

SPY Jan27 332 PUT @ $0.84

Thought about adding to the 331 PUTs, but this seemed like the better buy, as it was close to the same price (~$0.60 VS $0.84) but lots closer to the strike price.

Have a bid in for the following:

INTU Feb7 285 PUT @ $1.95, hopefully will get hit soon. It should be good for some decent money....

AEP Feb20 100 PUT @ $0.90. It looks really good so I may chase up to $1.00 if I have to do that......

May get out of this today rather than holding. It is going to be hitting the 5EMA by the end of the day and the DJIA and SPX have bounced off the mid-BB and the NDX and QQQ off the 10EMA and with my other indicators, that shows more of a consolidation ahead the next few days than a full speed downward trend.

Still keeping AEP, though...

Out of the following:

INTU Feb7 285 PUT @ $3.70 up from $1.90

Not a bad chuck of change. Might have more downside left, but my indicators show the down on the DJIA and SPX came close to wiping out the entire overbought signal, so I didn't want to take the chance. Take the money and look for something else....

Didn't make it to a computer before the close, but I'll be looking at the following in the morning:

CAT Feb7 139 CALL @ $2.60 or better. I normally don't trade a stock the week of their earnings, but this should make some money, maybe even before the close Thursday.

Quoting The Fool

Well selling the top has been a losing proposition this year so far. If we get some more news about virus cases or even deaths in the US, more bad news out of Asia re: same, and some riskoff political news here in the US, maybe that will change. BTFD still the word, though. Looking for a sp red close <3,270 today or else it's still nothingburger for bears.

Anyway, I stuck my little toe in and bought SPY Feb7 $218 puts for $1.05, hoping to leg into a bear spread....

Hey money, how've you been? I think you told me you were from TX? Sitting here looking at doing a getaway down to Big Bend area, do some camping for a week or two. Leave the computer at home and the incessant rain, too....

...if the shit would crash at the close I would sell the Feb5 $218 puts for anything over a dollar, always looking for risk-free & near free trades....that would make a Feb5/7 $218 put calendar.....

Just added to the following:

CAT Feb7 139 CALL @ $2.05 for an average of $2.29

AEP Feb20 100 PUT @ $0.70 for an average of $0.825

Both still look good, hoping CAT makes money before their earnings announcement on Friday before the bell....unless they beat estimates.

Hey TF! I've been doing good, hope all is well your way. Trying to get back into the swing of posting on here when trading. I like to post what I'm going to do, then the results, but sometimes it goes pretty fast and didn't see a need to post a trade after the fact, so I just got out of the habit.

No, I'm from Florida, but I've been to Texas, if that counts! A good vacation is always needed to reboot, but nowadays lots of people spend MORE time on their devices when they are 'vacationing' than they do at home. Camping is a very good way to relax for me, too. Nature has a very calming effect for those that let it! Hope it works out and you get to go, sounds like fun.....

FL ok, not sure why I thought TX. I am stuck in the rain up here near Seattle.

We went to Miami last winter, which was lotsa fun. Spent the whole time in the city, if we go back we'd want to drive out to the Keys, check out the SW coast, etc.

That area of TX I might get to doesn't have cell service, so no phone, no internet, will be nice... I kinda want to go to Queensland soon, too, but that long jet ride might kill me.....

Feel free to post as much here as you like. I am always in some trades, but >80% look like the same thing over and over, so it's not that interesting to post about anyway.

I see the spoos is down >0.5% in Asia, what I'm looking for. I want to sell some SPY puts against the $218's I bought near today's close....

I don't have any ER plays on. Was watching BA, expected much different outcome there....
