Thursday 03 Oct 2024 Morning Notes

Flipped a wkly $600 strike straddle in UNH from 11.57 to 14.80, then watched it hit a high of 17.00, as is tradition. Also flipped a $9/7.5 1x2 put ratio in NFE for .30 that I had put on for free when the stock was trading around 10.90 the day prior. Love those freebie cash trades.

Wednesday 02 Oct 2024 Morning Notes

Only trade of note was a small sized 1x2 put ratio in DJT heading into the debate, buying the wkly 15.5 puts and selling 2x of the 13 puts for a .34 debit. Morning is shaping up to be somewhat busy with China names continuing to make large upside moves.

Tuesday Oct 01 Morning Notes

No trades of note yesterday. I quick flipped my COST double diagonal on Friday morning for like +4%, only to watch it rally for +30% by end of day. So damn typical.

Friday 27 Sep 2024 Morning Notes

Took an earnings gap trade in COST after seeing that it rarely moved more than 2% following #s. I traded a double calendar on it, selling today's 925c & 880p against the Oct monthly strikes for $16.80 debit. Trade looks like it'll be a nice winner with the stock at 894 in the pre-mkt.
