I've added a lot of Tesla at these prices. Going to see if Tesla dips to $100 so I can finish going all-in. If not, I'll pull my sitting brokerage cash out.

11% today with 2 credit spreads on SPX. got a bit nervous at the end on my $3,850 short leg. wild pump at the end. why i love far out OTM strikes though.

picked up some cheap ass jan 20th COST and AAPL calls. i think we'll see a slight pump here in the next few weeks (or so i hope)

Nice I gotta start day trading more often. Sitting on about 70% cash after selling off earlier this year, too afraid to dip my toes back in cuz I have a feeling a deeper crash is coming.

Yeah, sure feels like that.. I was doing price action trading earlier this month but found it's just not my style. I like to throw up some credit spreads and just sit back (but still be very attentive until close). I'm more casual with trading now instead of swinging for the fences. I wanna build snowballs and compound them the best I can

great freaking day today. 8% on a nice SPX put credit spread at 3,775. got in after a few hours after SPX was down 76 points. figured i'd throw in a PCS at a low delta (0.10) as i felt a bit bullish (if it went down further, the world is gonna have bigger problems). ideally, i wanted to do a CCS at 3850, which felt way safer but only 2-3%.

my short leg's delta went up a bit to 0.12 which made me a bit nervous, but it went back to down 0.07 and then decayed out to 0.001~. let them expire worthless 💪

edit: btw, if anyone is doing SPX options, i have this page bookmarked https://www.cboe.com/index_settlement_values/weeklys_settlement_values/ and they post the official settlement values there

was a bit skeptical going in today because of the FOMC at 2pm. wanted in but was hesitant, so went in on SPX with an extremely low delta (0.04) at 3,800. nice little 4% return and the market went ape shit as usual when the news hit at 2. still had a ton of cushion

yesterday i also bought several Jan 6th 119 AAPL put credit spreads. i don't think aapl is going to be below 119 in two days. 20% there was too good to pass up. only a few hundred of collateral with that. had to get my feet wet
