How to short the S&P using options? Day & swing puts

Yeah, that would've worked. About a double. No way he could have bought 1.30.

 

You nailed it on the sell half hour before close

 

All in a day's work for a piker/paper trader like me.

• S&P Futures down 0.30%.
• Perhaps Monday might be a good day for the SPY Puts that expire Monday.
• Buy 1-strike OTM at market open.
• Sell 1/2 hour before market closes.

• SPY 432 Put at open $1.19.
• At 3:30pm EST $4.16.

 

Brutal reversal in the making today. My canary just died.

 

The best method I have come up is this How To Short Tesla With 77% Chance To Win, Make 35% If It Sits Still And With Low Risk (NASDAQ:TSLA) | Seeking Alpha

BTW after being ahead on TSLA with these because it was going up so much when got even stopped doing it. Am still looking for a better method, but this is best have found. I am the author of that Seeking Alpha article.

 

The first diagonal is interesting. However, I would have executed the spread with the underlying on the rightmost to express the bearish view.

 

Yes if it will drop more much better. Do you know of better way to hedge market with small money and low neg theta or positive theta?
