Shortput

Opening (IRA): QQQ September 30th 289 Short Put... for a 2.95 credit. Comments: Targeting the <16 delta strike in the shortest duration paying around 1% of the strike price in credit in the exchange-traded fund with the highest 30-day IV to emulate dollar cost averaging into the broad market. Take profit at 50% max or greater and/or roll out for duration and a credit. This would be more ideally put on in weakness and higher IV, but I'm willing to take some risk while I wait for a better IV environment to present itself.

Rolled (IRA): QQQ September 16th 278 Short Put to October 21st... 268 short put for a 1.23 credit. Comments: This wasn't quite at 50% max yet, but thought I'd take the opportunity to do some housekeeping since I could realize a gain, strike improve, and receive a credit here by rolling for duration. Total credits collected of 14.09 (See Post Below) plus the 1.23 here for a total of 15.32 relative to a price of around 2.83 for the October 21st 268, so I've realized gains of 12.49 ($1249) so far.
