So everyone knows why we sold 100% of Puts. I spotted larger volume buying by order size and other things I look at. You also have to have big continuation downward or else the time decay on a Put expiring tomorrow kills you. If we drift between $276-$280 the $281 Puts will just meltaway premium.

Psst..you can't time the markets.

Sold at the top (so far today)! But I guess I shouldn't have sold my June $260 puts?
Hopefully they get cheaper and I will rebuy.

QQQ trying to put in a double bottom above 216. If that and SPY bottom from this morning hold, it looks like we could easily 50% retrace (Model T) bounce back to test QQQ 222 and SPY 285. Both really big numbers that were previous key levels of support / resistance. If we got that bounce in the couple of days, I'd be selling longs and buying puts.

Sold RUBI 7.5P's (cash secured) for 6/19 at 2.74 premium. If I get put my average cost is $4.76.

I'm doing this in a ROTH IRA, so I take profits on some of my long positions to obtain the cash, that cash gets locked away as margin required security. I take the premium and do as I wish and will monitor the puts and manage as necessary (roll, buy back, let expire, etc).

Really surprised no one has mentioned BJs this morning. Only thing green it seems in a sea of red.
If there's one rule that needs to be followed, it's that BJs get the green light when there's a sea of red.
End this thread. It's over. This reply will NEVER be topped.

BTW, I post because I'm still learning methods. If this strategy sucks for something I think is going to move upwards over time, please tell me.

Right when I posted it. That was the cup formed so bears will try to stop the train. If its a real bottom bulls let the bears retrace and then obliterate them.

Question for the group. Up until this point Ive tried to keep my "round trips" below 4 to prevent being flagged as a pattern day trader. Is there any reason I should be leery of that, other than the needing to keep $25k in the account?

WFC up 6% and JPM up 2%.

Old army said watch the banks as a signal for down. May be the same for signal for up?

Cost myself a couple bucks trying to hedge puts against my June calls that were bleeding... came out about even given the call gains and put losses. Oh well, lessons learned I guess

Do you see any other resistance from here up to that level? A lot of the technical analysis I watch thinks this retests the neckline of a head and shoulders. Do you see any of that?
