Shortcall
Opened (Margin): /MES February 28th 4190 Short Call... for a 14.50 credit.
Comments: Kind of had to do this on the fly with my phone app ... . Additive short delta adjustment. It was at the -15 delta at the time of fill. Will probably roll down some profitable short call now that I have an opportunity to survey the landscape from the desktop app.
Opening (Margin): /MCL1! March 15th 103 Short Call... for a .42 credit.
Comments: An additive short delta adjustment here, selling a call against my March short put. I'm not getting paid much, but get this buying power free and can always roll it down to bring in more credit.
Total credits collected: 4.53.
Opening (Margin): /ES April 21st 4800 Short Call... for a 3.35 credit.
Comments: On second thought ... . Re-erecting a short call here after taking off a shorter duration one at 50% max. This would be better done on strength, but I have some "unit imbalance" here on the put side (i.e., a greater number of put side units than call ones) and would rather keep the short call in place until I'm able to pull one or more of those units off, particularly since I get it buying power free here.
Rolled: ARKK December 17th 135 Short Call to 114... for a 1.27 credit.
Comments: This is the short call aspect of a December 17th short strangle. I rolled the call side down on approaching worthless to cut net delta by about half. As a standalone trade, it's short delta, but that is offset by the short put aspect's long delta, so looked at holistically, it's more of a neutral assumption setup when you look at both the short call and short put as a unit.
I originally put on the short strangle for 3.04 (See Post Below) and had a price target to take profit when it reached 50% of that or at 1.52. I'm going to keep that profit target the same by entering a good until cancelled order to take profit for 1.52 (my original target) plus what I collected for the roll -- 1.27 -- or 2.79. Put another way, I've collected a total of 3.04 + 1.27 in credits or 4.31 and 4.31 minus 1.52 (my original profit target) equals 2.79.
