Opening (IRA): IWM August 30th 193 Monied Covered Call... for a 191.21 debit. Comments: I'm not quite ready to move out to the September monthly due to its duration, so doing a little something different here to attempt to milk a smidge more out of August. After having taken off my longer-dated position in profit, re-upping in 45 DTE with the short call at about the exact same delta it was at previously (around the -88). This doesn't result in really awesome ROC metrics, but I have already grabbed the June divvy and realized gains in the August cycle, so am just looking for a little more somethin' somethin' without taking on a ton of additional risk before moving out to Sept. As usual, I'll look to take profit at 50% max; roll out for duration on side test. Metrics: Buying Power Effect/Break Even: 191.21 Max Profit: 1.79 ROC at Max: .936% 50% Max: .90 ROC at 50% Max: .468%

Opening (IRA): KRE Sept 20th 42 Covered Call... for a 40.73 debit. Comments: Adding to my KRE (IVR/IV 50.4/28.6) position with a setup out in the September monthly that has a break even better than what I currently have on. Selling the -75 delta call against a one lot to emulate the delta metrics of a 25 delta short put with the built-in defense of the short call. Additionally, attempting to grab a little more June divvy if I can, with ex-dividend not having been declared yet. Metrics: Buying Power Effect/Break Even: 40.73 Max Profit: 1.27 ($127) ROC at Max: 3.12% 50% Max: .64 ROC at 50% Max: 1.56%

Opening (IRA): SMH 2 x July 19th 210/215 Short Put Vertical... for a 1.00 in credit. Comments: Part two of delta adjustment trade ... . Instead of rolling up the 205/215 short put vertical, I closed it out (See Post Below), and then re-erected a 2 x 5 to delta balance against my call side, whose short leg is at the -32 delta strike. This doesn't increase buying power effect, since the 2 x 5 is equivalent to the 1 x 10 on the call side. The end result is a 2 x 210/2 x 215/255/265 iron condor, -5.79/3.42 delta/theta on which I've netted 3.36 in credits.
