4240 put got assigned and was able to sell the 4240 calls against it for 11.5 expiring in 2 days so that's a good deal. Need a bigger dip for me...
ES stuck around the 4240s or maybe it's moving normally and I'm used to bigger and bigger moves like an addict needing a bigger hit. Sold the...

Sold a 4230 put earlier in the day expiring on Friday. Got assigned the 4220 put and sold the 4220 calls expiring Fri. As long as we stay above...
