iceman's options trading journal

bought back Jan 80c - looking to sell Feb 85c

looking to close Feb 75 puts @ 1.40

 

closed Feb 75p @ 1.45 (+125)
re-sold Jan 80c @ 3.60 (+250 cum. total)
bought Feb 85 calls @ 3

selling Feb 80p if I can get >4 today (keep dreaming)

plan is to sell short Jan 80c on any pop to >8250 - then take delivery of stock on expiry 20th

 

Don't take this personally... but you have a strong-tendency to post prices on winning offsets, but not on losers. It makes it impossible to see how you're actually doing.

You stated in late-05 that you were going to post journal trades that were at least decipherable.

There are others, but at what price did you offset the following?:

sold AAPL Feb 80c @ 3.30-340

And what does it mean to sell a call at "330-340"? Do you mean an average sale at $3.35?

 

true

but for example-- AAPL Feb 80c are unrealized pnl - so I did not post that

 

Ohh, OK. I thought you'd offset the calls.

 

or for example- the AAPL Feb 7250p (-300) are unrealized pnl- so that by Feb they may be ITM-

 

riskarb--

you are correct - it would serve my interest as well to post each position in a more clear and precise manner - showing open pnl and closed pnl.

So - after I clean the slate on Jan expiry (even if I take delivery of some underlying) -- I am going to do just that.


just re-sold 5 AAPL Feb 75 puts for 1.85
exited long Jan 80c AAPL calls near contract highs (3.60)
