Hi steemit community,
implied volatility is staying low, but I gotta put new positions on to collect some theta.
In order to not get wiped out by a vol expansion, I'm cutting my trade size in half.
TLT April Straddle
I sold this straddle for a credit of $3.33.
Like always, my profit target is the 16 delta strangle credit (69 cents).
So I'm going to close this position, when it trades for $2.64 or at 21 DTE.
GLD April Straddle
I sold this straddle for a credit of $4.14.
Like always, my profit target is the 16 delta strangle credit (88 cents).
So I'm going to close this position, when it trades for $3.26 or at 21 DTE.
FXE April 30 Delta Strangle
I sold this strangle for a credit of $1.09.
Like always, my profit target is the 16 delta strangle credit (50 cents).
So I'm going to close this position, when it trades for 59 cents or at 21 DTE.
XLE April Straddle
I sold this straddle for a credit of $4.08.
Like always, my profit target is the 16 delta strangle credit ($1).
So I'm going to close this position, when it trades for $3.08 or at 21 DTE.
IWM April 30 Delta Strangle
I sold this strangle for a credit of $3.50.
Like always, my profit target is the 16 delta strangle credit ($1.75).
So I'm going to close this position, when it trades for $1.75 or at 21 DTE.
I will give you a full update of my whole portfolio on Friday this week.
