Closed: BITO December 17th 2 x 25/2 x 28/49/55* Double Double... for a .75 debit.
Comments: In for 1.49 (See Post Below), out today at 50% max via a good until cancelled order, a .74 ($74) profit. 30-day is still good in this underlying at 85.2%, so may re-up when the January monthly gets a little shorter in duration. (It's currently 59 days out).
* -- I had to squeeze in the strikes on the chart in order to get them to show due to BITO's limited data set.

Opening (Margin): TSLA 2 x 800/2 x 815/1265/1295 Double Double... for a 6.02 credit.
Comments: Selling a smidge of nondirectional premium in TSLA with 30-day implied at 69.3%. There's a little bit of skew to contend with here, so going with a double double iron condor, selling 2 spreads on the put side at half the delta and half the width of the call side.
25.1% ROC at max as a function of buying power effect; 12.6% at 50% max.
Opening (Small Account): BITO December 17th 2 x 25/28/49/55Double Double for a 1.49 credit.
Comments: Can't resist the 78.5% 30-day implied here. Going with a delta neutral double double iron condor to accommodate awful call side skew here -- twice the number of contracts on the put side as on the call, with the call side spread twice the width of the put side. Will look to take profit at 50% max.
Closed (Small Account): IWM November 19th 198/204/246/249 IC*... for a .54 debit.
Comments: In for 1.08 (See Post Below), out for .54 here via a good until cancelled order to take profit at 50% max.
* -- Iron condor. This was actually an iron condor variation -- a "double double," the setup for which was explained in the original post.
Opening (Small Account): IWM November 19th 198/204/2 x 246/249... "Double Double" Iron Condor for a 1.08 credit.
Comments: If IWM is going to give me rangebound, I'm going to play it rangebound. Here, a "double double" iron condor to accommodate call side skew. To do this, I went 6 wide on the put side, but 3 wide on the call side with the short call legs at around 1/2 the delta of the short put leg, but double the number of contracts. (Double the number of contracts on the call side, double the width of the call side spread on the put side; hence, "Double Double."). This results in a delta neutral setup with spreads on both the put and call side that are fairly equidistant from where price is current trading and wide of the range IWM has been hanging out for the past several eons. Additionally, you're not tying up additional buying power by doing things this way, since a 2 x 3 ties up the same buying power as a 1 x 6.
22.0% ROC as a functional of buying power effect at max; 11.0% at 50% max.
IRON TARIHi guys,
this is a short iron condor, with 4 weeks until expiration ( next regular) and 5% strike, we have only the 40% of probability.
So it means that there are 60% of probability that the price will be at expiration more than +-5% from actual price.
Selling the 280 call and the 310 put, with 2.5$ spread, there is a max profit of 130$, and a max loss of 120$.
I'm confident that we are going to have enough room to roll up or down in a few days to minimize the max loss and raise our probability of success, but so far we have 60% to earn more than what we risk.
Check on my script more info about this.
Enjoy your wallet!
Tari.
IRON TARIHi guys,

Iron TariHi guys,

The short strikes are 51 and 54, so BE are at 51.30 and 53.70.

NFLX Low Risk Short PositionNFLX has been trading in a range for many months, as we can see by this weekly chart here:
Stochastics on the daily chart are showing it as heavily overbought, with an RSI of about 85, likely in anticipation of earnings which come out in 6 days. Historically, NFLX sells off about 80% of the time post earnings, usually quite steeply, with an average sell-off of between $50-60 dollars within the week that follows earnings.
Here's a daily chart with stochastics visible:
Barring a few temporary outlying moves to the outer extremities of its range, I believe NFLX will either:
1) Push up towards and then reject at the $566 level and then retrace back down towards $515.00 post earnings.
2) Falter post earnings and retrace to more "typical" RSI and stochastic levels prior to earning hitting.
3) (Hopefully not) push outside its trading range (difficult to imagine this scenario actually happening) and form new highs above its existing range.
I am currently in an Iron Condor on NFLX with 570 and 490 short strikes. It is leaning bearish at the moment, but a move back down downwards 515 and a crush of implied volatility will substantially help my position. I believe both are likely to happen in the current market environment.
--------------
If you were to enter NFLX short, you might consider it around the $566 level, assuming it pushes that high. You could accomplish this with a call credit spread which would give you the benefit of IV crush, assuming volatility decreases (which it would, if the price fell off steeply.)
You could also take a bearish debit spread, but that will struggle with volatility collapse as it's a BTO position.
-------------
Whatever happens, I'll be curious to watch NFLX as it develops. I do not think it's current price behavior is sustainable.

Nikkei Options Strategy for coming monthsThis is an idea for trading INDEX:NKY options.
In recent months, Nikkei index did experienced some volatile moments, however, they were all short-term momentum that they were unable to be met with trends that lasted for months or even weeks.
The author of this article believes that this trend to continue.
So, I suggest opening an Iron Condor spread which captures the prices between the lines drawn.

SPY play with 90% PoP!Hello, guys hope all is well. Today we will be looking at $SPY and how I will play the market this week.
Based on the expected move for this week of $6.79 we are possibly looking at a range between $410.01 - $423.59. On Monday I opened the Put side ($400 / $398 and collected $9 per contact) of my Iron Condor and leg into my Call side roughly Thursday afternoon or right before close.
Last week we saw a slight dip in the markets from Monday's open of $424.43 to Friday's close of $414.92. This 2.24% drop has made the $VIX pop to the $20 levels from the mid to high teens. With this pop, we will be able to take advantage in one of two ways.
1) We can keep our stricks the same as we did last week because we still believe that there is a lot of supply at this price and we want to collect more premium.
2)We will be able to get lower on the put side/higher on the call side while still collecting the same amount of premium as we did last week.
I will be going with the second option because although there may be supply at these levels I still want to sell the .10 - .05 deltas with a $2 widespread.
I'll be looking to collect between $8-$10 per contract on the put side give me roughly a 4% gain while also looking for the same percent gain on the Call side later on in the week. Since no additional collateral is needed to add the Call side, we are looking at a minimal gain of 8% if we stay in our expected range.
IRON TARIHi guys,
my indicator shows a 70% probability to end ITMm 4 weeks, 11% strikes.
But premium is very low, so since there is always a 30% chance to end otm, I reverse the condor, and I narrow the sold legs too @48$ and @57$, instead than 11% ( 47$ and 59$), to encrease the odds to end otm, let's say from 30% to at least 40%.
But for a 40% probability to win I have a wonderfull RR ratio at my side, becuase with 1$ spread max primuim is 80$, and max loss 20$.
So even when the market pays less, we know how to get the best out of it!
