Trades I took today as a systematic option seller (07/02):
Closed Positions
- OUST → $52 Call (opened on 06/29), premium 3.40 → closed at 0.55. Net premium profit = 2.85 (~84% of premium captured, ~6.7% of capital). I was assigned OUST at $42.5.
- CRWV → $120 Call (opened on 06/29), premium 0.90 → closed at 0.18. Net premium profit = 0.72 (~80% of premium captured, ~0.6% of capital). I was assigned CRWV at $120. CRWV has been bearish since the META news, but I think we need more time for this to pan out. Does not hurt already existing contracts and this is an expaning sector.
New Positions
- AAOI → $175 Call, expiry 07/17 (2 weeks DTE), premium 3.30 → 330/17500 = 1.8%. I was assigned AAOI at $175.
Thoughts on Market
Today the market sold off heavily, especially in the AI and semiconductor names. I think this was a combination of profit-taking and options expiry. I am not rushing to roll down any positions. Instead, I focused on booking profits where it made sense and closing covered calls that had already hit my premium targets. I am not too concerned about this pullback. I will wait and see how things develop next week before deciding my next steps. The NASDAQ looks like it's forming a descending triangle and is currently testing the 25,825 support level. For now, it's a wait and watch situation for me.
I keep sharing my daily trades in my account and the Excel file to my full list of positions is linked in my profile description. Happy to hear thoughts on my positions. What are you guys wheeling or watching right now?
