Going to be interesting as we are starting this new cycle very strong with lower oil prices and bond yields.  Was just getting out of bed and sold the daily 7780 calls for a nice even $5.  Lets see if this rally continues into the cash open

I think it will for about 60 minutes or so...

Getting very exciting now as we are averaging $9.25 now on the sold daily 7780 calls and we added the daily 7800 calls for $4.20 as this push is a little overdone.  The best news though is our calls for the October trade cycle are getting amazing fills as everyone is suddenly super bullish!!

Hmmmm well were now averaging $7.20 on our sold 7800 calls!!  Going to go play Padel and come back in the final hour and see where were at and if there is an opening for some profit taking we'll likely pull the trades..

Well unfortunately we got stopped out on each trade for a $20 loss as per rules but we made a total of $42.05 in premium last week so that's okay and have already sold tomorrows 7870 calls for $7.80 to start rebuilding and am going outright short at 7842 and will build from there...
