I've been already selling my September cycle options for the ES but overnight the pajama traders filled my daily sell trades on the ES also with the 7730 calls for $4 and the 7630 puts for $4. The calls are looking great so far and the 7630 puts just hit $4 again so we'll see how the day goes!! As we approach September I do believe volatility will remain as the countdown to the election begins and there will be many things said and done that will move the market!!

Whoops forgetting to post here instead of on X lol!! Overnight I once again sold the same daily 7730 calls for $4.10 and the 7630 puts for $4.10 and just took profits on both for a total premium take of $6.90 and on to Padel maybe or watch my 3rd Friday options premium decay as the market is going nowhere fast!!

The market has been quiet for a while, but I see NVDA earnings report tomorrow is going to trigger a big move for the market to breakout of the current ST trading range .............................

Waiting waiting waiting after the economic data but did capture a daily sell on the 7630 puts with the snap move down for $3 and waiting to see what the cash market now brings. There is no volume and the market is winding a tight spring to suddenly move either way here. I think it will be down eventually but who knows when thats going to start so we'll see....

Okay, Nividea earnings out and were seeing a negative reaction. So far I'm selling tomorrow's 7750 calls for $5.20, we'll see if we hang on all night or cover them before sleeping...

Looks like the tech sector isn't as bullish as expected as my 7750 calls are looking great this morning. Will be interesting to see how the cash open goes....
