STO: IWM 269 covered call 3/13 for $2.00
Time to recover the weekend damage.
Also, these perverts have got to stop thinking I'll overpay to close the $12 UMAC put thats expiring this week. I will literally risk all my gains on it instead of paying 5 cents more.

IWM up 3% off the overnight lows is insanity

Come on IWM just fucking give up and go down and stay down!

Making a note to myself. IWM goes up when we attack the Middle East. Got it.

IWM green ayyy

I have IWM spreads expiring today that break even at 263, got to watch the entire spectrum of up 5-6% Friday to down 90% at open today back to near even as we speak 😂

if IWM ends up green today I am done trading

3/2/26 - On a day like today, I’d absolutely setup some condors or credit spreads 30-45 days out. I had already added some 3/20 $701/$661 condors last week when SPY was $680. Plenty of room on both sides. I will also likely add just the put credit side on DIA and IWM if we get a nice move down.
As well as 3/13 NVDA Put credit spread $167.5/$165.0.

Ich hab noch eine uralt Wette in der Deponie. Wenn der IWM auf 160 fällt, bin ich reich.
Also nur noch knapp -40%

I have four ETFs. S&P 500, US small cap, International Emerging ex China, and International Developed. VOO, IWM, VEA, VEXC. I split them 33% to S&P, US small caps, and international (16.5% to each).

Congratulations. These will print. I also wanted to load puts but the premiums are too much elevated. So, I picked IWM puts instead

Based on the level of regard in here, I know my puts on IWM are safe

Ya, well, i dont need to screen since it works on basically everything...I have a bot that simultaneously has puts/call option open on stocks/etfs that fit the volatility requirement. SPY, IWM, QQQ, TSLA are ones that do the best.
I dont speculate or think I can predict the future. I simply understand that volatility opens opportunity and ride the waves like a surfer does for fun. This is a fun hobby/sport to me...I love the numbers, data analysis and statistics.

Premium to collateral. An April 10 20/13 delta on SPY will net a premium of $192 and lower my buying power by $1808.
An April 10 20/13 delta on IWM will net a premium of $224 and lower my buying power by only $1276.
I currently have 61 open SVP's using $ 91,473 of my buying power.
That's $1499 per spread.
All spreads combined have a net premium of $ 15,949 or $ 261 average.
So my average spread is pulling in $261 in premium and only using $ 1499 in buying power.
That's why I don' trade SPY.
I do trade QQQ but often times the spreads will no hit all of my rules so I pass.

I did add a lot of DIA call credit spreads when it hit $495 Thursday morning for 3/6. And then sold some $484/$483 puts Friday afternoon for a small credit to hold over the weekend. Same with IWM but only since they ran up.

Strictly Option seller.
My strategy:
*Boring trades.
*Beta uncorrelated trades.
*30-45% of margin.
*21-52 dte
*Strangles, jade lizard & iron condors.
ETFs : AMZN , AAPL, QQQ, SPY , IWM, JETS, ETHA ,GLD , GDX , SLV, USO,XLE, XLV.
Profits: 25-80% YOY

I find spy is so safe with less volatility but somehow feeling better when I diversify all three qqq spy and IWM each time. do you usually close your trades if all goes right on the direction within the next one or two trading days?
