GBPAUD IdeaAfter sweeping liquidity multiple times, price has broken structure to the downside. This structural break has indicted that supply is in control and in doing so has created an order block and imbalance in price due to the heavy momentum.
Here i will look for piece to pull back to a premium price where I deem enterable.
Let me know what you think. I hope this was of value.

Rolling (IRA): TLT Nov 17th 86 Short Put to Dec 15th 85... for a .32 credit.
Comments: Rolling down and out where it makes sense; out "as is" where it doesn't. Collected .83 originally (See Post Below). With the .32 here, 1.15 total.
I'm generally looking to try to avoid taking on shares above my current cost basis for the shares I've been assigned already and/or to take on shares at the best possible price that the market allows.
Opening (IRA): TLT Dec/Jan 77/75 Short PutsComments: Targeting the strikes paying around 1% of the strike price in credit at strikes better than what I currently have on. The basic bet here: that interest rates decline ... at some point.
(And, yes, it's been a somewhat painful trade so far ... ).
December 15th 77: .85 credit
January 19th 75: .84 credit
Opening (IRA): TSLA January 19th 145 Short Put... for a 1.54 credit.
Comments: Adding a rung here at a strike better than what I current have on, targeting the <16 delta strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit to emulate dollar cost averaging into the underlying without actually being in the stock. 30-day IV remains relatively high here at 52.2% ... .
Opening (IRA): IWM Dec 15th/Dec 29th/Jan 19th 160/157/153Comments: Targeting the <16 delta short put strikes paying around 1% of the strike price in credit to emulate dollar cost averaging into the broad market.
December 15th 160: 1.64 credit
December 29th 157: 1.63 credit
January 19th 153: 1.57 credit
Opening (IRA): IWM February 16th 151 Short Put... for a 1.58 credit.
Comments: Targeting the <16 delta strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit to emulate dollar cost averaging into the broad market. I would've gone shorter duration, but already have rungs camped out at where I would've pitched my tent, so starting to building out first quarter rungs here.
Opening (IRA): TQQQ December 29th 34.5 Covered Call... for a 33.04 debit.
Comments: Selling the monied -75 delta call against a one lot to potentially take advantage of early random call away/*assignment. 33.04 break even with a 1.46 ($146) max profit; 4.42% ROC/32.9% annualized as a function of buying power effect at max.
"Random" call away occurs when someone holding the 34.5 long call choses to exercise it before expiration, but I'll look to close at or near max (e.g., 34.45) to avoid the call away/assignment fee if I get the opportunity to do so.
On the flip side of the coin, I'll look to roll out the short call to reduce cost basis and my break even further if it chooses to crap its pants.
Opening (IRA): SPY February 16th 380 Short Put... for a 3.94 credit.
Comments: Targeting the <16 delta strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit. I already have rungs on in the December monthly, the December 29th, and January expiries near where I'd want to erect additional rungs, so building out into the first quarter a smidge here.
Opening (IRA): SPY December 29th 405 Short Put... for a 4.22 credit.
Comments: Rounding out fourth quarter rungs ... . Targeting the <16 delta strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit to emulate dollar cost averaging into the broad market. I already have some December 15th on, so going out to the last expiry of the year here.
Opening (IRA): QQQ Dec 29th/Jan 15th 321/315 Short PutsComments: Targeting the <16 delta strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit to emulate dollar cost averaging into the broad market.
Adding two rungs here, since I no longer have anything in the Dec 29th expiry or in Jan. Will naturally look to add at better strikes and in shorter duration should IV expand at some point.
Opening (IRA): XBI January 19th 55 Short Put... for a .61 credit.
Comments: Adding a rung to beaten-down biotech at strikes better than what I currently have on in October at the 76, November at the 71, and December at the 63, targeting the <16 delta strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit.
I'll be assigned shares on the 76 here shortly (and possibly the 71), after which I'll proceed to sell call against.
Opening (IRA): XBI Dec/Feb 57/50 Short PutsComments: Adding a couple rungs to my XBI position at strikes better than what I currently have on, targeting the <16 delta strike paying around 1% of the strike price in credit.
December 15th 47: .62 credit
February 16th 50: .57 credit
I would've also gone with January, but already have a rung on at where I'd want to pitch my tent.
