Quoting The Fool

....all off for $4 net

Quoting The Fool
mostly trading 1-sided, shown is SPX call diag, Nov3/6, 4340/4350, net debit 40c. I'll add some hedging to it tomorrow, perhaps {image}
NOPE, took the 2nd half off for $1.65, a solid 4x return. I might play some 1dte stuff in SPX for NFP an AAPL earnings

Out of the following:

EBAY Nov17 40 CALL at $1.20 up from $1.10

It just spent too long just hovering, so I was glad to get out with enough to pay the fees and commissions. And a Large pizza or two.....

Good job, TF. A 4X return is pretty impressive!!

I'll be looking at the following in the morning as they look poised to move:

AMT 180 PUT

CTLT 35 CALL

MTCH 30 CALL

MTZ 50 CALL

The pre-market futures will be the deciding factor on which ones are still good plays and at what strike.

Thanks, amigo. These time spreads (calendars and diagonals) can really balloon into profit in the last day, but I have learned to take good profit when I see it. Move on to the next one....

The SPX 4340/4350 spread above would be losing money now, as price has blown past the profit bubble. I was afraid of this yesterday, why I took everything off...

Currently in the following:

CTLT Nov17 35 CALL at $1.20

MTCH Nov10 30 CALL at $0.90

AMT Nov17 185 PUT at $1.15 avg

These should be good until next week, so I'm calling it an early day. Take profits when you can and I hope everyone has a safe weekend.

Just got an alert a little bit ago, so out of the following:

CTLT Nov17 35 CALL at $1.80 up from $1.20

Not a killer amount, but a decent profit nonetheless. Especially when you start adding them up over a month's time.....then it may become a killer amount.

Okay, I don't think the other two close orders will get hit today, so NOW I'm calling it an early day.....

Okay, no early day today. a quick look at my stocks show there are gonna be several moving down very soon, so I have no choice but to look at them, right? I've got a little over an hour and a half to make some decisions, so no point in not looking....

Okay, only a few were cheap enough to get more than 10 contracts, so I have Bids on the following:

AAP Nov10 57 PUT at $1.30

KBH Nov10 51 PUT at $0.85

WGO Nov17 62.5 PUT at $0.75

I may just look at the Ask price close to the close if they don't get hit before then.
