Opening (IRA): QQQ Nov 18th 251/Jan 20th 300 Long Put Diagonal

... for a 38.21 per contract debit.

Comments: After taking profit on my previous long put diagonal in the Q's (See Post Below), re-erecting it immediately here, since I still need QQQ short delta. Selling the front expiry 30 delta and buying the back month 90 to delta hedge against a long delta portfolio. Going a little larger contract wise due to having some QQQ short puts that are basically right at the money ... .

38.21 cost basis on a 49 wide with a 261.79 break even with a take profit that is 50% of max (49.00 - 38.21)/2 + 38.21 = 43.60.

That should've been "rolling out the Jan 20th 300 to the Feb 17th 306."

交易進行:

Rolled the Feb 10th 271 to the Feb 17th 273 for an .89 credit. 32.21 cost basis with a 273.79 break even on a 33 wide. As with my IWM short delta hedge, will look to roll out the long aspect of this in the next week or so.

交易進行:

Rolled the Feb 17th 306 to the March 17th 336 90 delta (that's a big move) for a 21.80 debit and the 273 short put to the 302 for a 2.71 credit. Cost basis of 32.21 + 21.80 - 2.71 = 51.30 with a 284.70 break even on a 34 wide (i.e., I ended up selling a short put above my cost basis to reset to the back month -90, front month +30). This is basically okay, so long as you made money on the long delta end of things (i.e., stock, covered calls, short puts, etc.), but my preference is to not to lose money on hedges ... .

手動結束交易:

Closed here for a 29.29 credit, resulting in a realized loss of 22.01. Will reset here shortly ... .
