Rolling (IRA): UAL October 15th 48 to November 19th 48... short call for a 1.37 credit.
Comments: Trying to milk a little more out of this covered call by rolling the short call aspect out a month to November while the implied is >50%. My cost basis in my shares was 46.93 (See Post Below); rolling out the short call reduces that to 45.56 with a max profit potential of the short call strike (48.00) minus my cost basis (45.56) or 2.44 ($244).
Opening (IRA): UAL October 15th 48/60 Short Call Vertical... for a 1.07 credit.
Comments: I have a September 17th in-the-money 48 short put that I will be assigned on, as I don't see this ripping to 48 by the end of the day. The short call aspect of this spread will cover the stock once I'm assigned, with the buying power attributable to the spread being freed up after assignment of the stock. Because I've attributed the credit received for the 48 to another UAL position (January 47 covered calls), I'm treating this as a new trade for cost basis purposes with the resulting cost basis being the short call strike (48.00) minus the credit received here of 1.07 or 46.93/share.
I ordinarily just wait until assignment, but wanted to do some of my post-opex housekeeping today.
UAL: ABCD upside tradeI like to see ABCD patterns after a double bottom, especially with momentum strengthening.
This move should pan out within a week. If it doesn't, chances are the pattern isn't playing out.

Take-off for UAL but it could be a dangerous flightUAL recently smacked a support level at around $48 and seems it could possible rebound to the upside. However there is very major catalysts for UAL to further within the coming weeks. Covid is still relentless as always and with the new 'Delta variant' proving to be more adaptive, and dangerous it could potentially impact the already suffering fundamentals of the airline industry. One thing going against the virus is the current vaccine rollout which is currently on par with expectations. This could then act as a buffer for UAL despite the new developing strains such as the delta and lambda variants.
As its currently summer in the US as expected flights have been increasing and interestingly enough even bet pre-Covid levels which is great news for UAL and other airlines.
From a technical standpoint indicators push a bullish narrative with the Bollinger bands, rsi and mean reversion being oversold signalling a buy opportunity.
Alot of support levels also were prominent where there was support level from the 32.8% Fibonacci level, linear regression aswell as the 180 day sma.
Overall it appears like UAL has momentum to launch from its current price, possibly to $53 prior to hitting a resistance channel. However due to the nature of the company negative news sentiment will be very influentially on the stocks price so be wary.
Rolling (IRA): UAL September 17th 41 Short Put to the 48... for an .81/contract credit.
Comments: A continuation of my covered strangle, consisting of January '22 47 covered calls plus the short puts. It's taken off quite rapidly here, so rolled the short put up today to reduce cost basis further. Cost basis at 41.32 (See Post Below) minus .81 or 40.51. This will make this a nice winner assuming the short put approaches worthless, and it stays above 47 running into January expiry.
AAL - Airlines recovery, BUY opportunityWe can see a nice wedge breakouts on rising volume in airlines.
Fundamentally, we should take into a consideration deffered demand on trips due to COVID restrictions. Combined with Technical Analysis it means that airlines have space to growth.
I am publishing this idea a bit later then I should, but still it is a great buy opportunity.
Keep in mind your possible risks. Probably AAL will give a chance to take a large position on retest (level 22.30). Stop Loss 21.00
