... for a 2.56 credit. Comments: With the July 16th 367 at greater than 50% max, rolling it to the next monthly strike paying at least 1% of the strike price in credit. So far, I've collected 8.75 + 2.56 in credits or 11.31 ($1131) of which 7.39 ($739) is realized gain. It would be better to roll this on a red day or when implied volatility is better, but the...
... for a .49 debit. Comments: I collected a total of 6.32 in credits with this puppy over time. 6.32 - .48 = 5.84 ($584) in profit.
... for a .26/contract credit. Comments: In for 1.94/contract (See Post Below); out for .26/contract with 21 days to go. 1.68 ($168) profit per contract. Still have some July on ... .
... for a .48/contract credit. Comments: 30-day at 40.2%. 2.74% ROC at max as a function of notional risk, no doubt due in part that I had to go in a little bit more aggressive than usual due to the lack of delta granularity from strike to strike. It was either this strike (24 delta) or the 17 (14 delta).
... for a 1.94/contract credit. Comments: Still pretty weak here with fairly high implied volatility (30-day at 46.7%). Selling the 16 delta strike. 2.15% ROC at max as a function of notional risk; 14.8% annualized.
... for a 1.88 credit. Comments: With the June 389 at 50% max on this up move, rolling out to the July 16 delta strike, locking in the realized gain. Total credits collected of 14.12 (See Post Below) versus a current short put value in the July 385 of 3.46, so I've realized gains of 14.12 - 3.46 or 10.66 ($1066) so far.
... for a 1.42 credit. Comments: With only 14 days to go and at >50% max, rolling this down and out to the 16 delta strike nearest 45 days until expiry. Total credits collected of 6.55 (See Post Below) + 1.42 = 7.97 relative to the July 2nd 200 current price of 2.04, so I've realized a gain of 5.93 so far.
... for an .11 credit. Comments: Here, doing a little "window dressing" rolling ... . With the 297 at greater than 50% max (See Post Below), rolling it down and out in duration a little bit for a realized gain and a small credit. Here, I just want to take profit up to this point and reduce risk (since the 288 is farther away from current price than the 297,...
... for a 2.32 credit. Notes: Selling the 16 delta strike nearest 45 days until expiry in the broad market exchange-traded fund having the highest 30-day implied volatility. Will take profit on approaching worthless/take on shares, sell call against if in-the-money at expiry. 1.21% ROC at max as a function of notional risk.
... for a 1.64 credit. Notes: With only .48 or so of extrinsic left in it, rolling out the May 28th 200 (See Post Below) to the June 30th 200 (51 days, 16 delta) for a 1.65 credit and a realized gain on this little bit of weakness here. Total credits collected of 3.79 versus a current contract value for the June 30th 200 of 2.16, so I've realized profits of...
... for a 1.94/contract credit. Notes: 30-day implied at 56% and weak. I don't what the particular reason for the oddball strikes is, but rolling with it. 2.26% ROC at max as a function of notional risk. Generally, will take profit on approaching worthless or take assignment, sell call against if that happens.
... for a 1.89 credit. Notes: With a mere .35 left in the 204 and only 11 days to go, rolling down and out to the June 25th 202.5 (17 delta) for a realized gain (See Post Below). Total credits collected of 4.12 versus a current short put value of 2.21, so I've realized a gain of 1.91 on this one so far.
... for a 2.99 credit. Notes: Selling some 16 delta risk premium in the QQQ's on this weakness. 1.0% ROC as a function of notional risk. I'm fine with getting assigned, selling call against, but will start to look to take profit or otherwise manage the trade at 50% max.
... for a 1.75 credit. Notes: With the August 20th 300 approaching 50% max, rolling it out to the September 324 for a 1.75 credit. Total credits collected of 6.04 versus a current short put value of 3.26, so I've realized a gain of 2.78 on this so far. Previously, I was rolling up intraexpiry at 50% max where there were >45 days until expiry, but am kind of...
... for a .11 debit/contract. Notes: Taking profit with 28 days to go. In for .57/contract; out for .11/contract here. .46 ($46)/contract profit. Still have some June on ... .
... for a .14/contract debit. Notes: In for .48/contract (See Post Below) and out for .14 here with 28 days to go. .34 ($34) profit per contract. 30-day's still pretty decent here at 45+%, so will consider re-upping in June (56 Days) some time next week.
... for a .23/contract debit. Notes: In for 1.93/contract (See Post Below), out for .23; 1.70 ($170) profit per contract. Options have gone somewhat illiquid versus when I put this on, so am fine with not waiting another 28 days for the small remainder of extrinsic to piss out.
.. for a .04/contract debit. Notes: In for .53/contract (See Post Below), out for .04 here; .49 ($49) profit per contract with 28 days to go. Will potentially re-up if implied pops up above 35%; it's dropped to 34.4% here ... .
