OPENING (IRA): IYR APRIL/MAY/JUNE 54/55/56 SHORT PUT LADDER

Yet another acquisitional setup in the IRA, filled for 9.38 total.

Notes: I already have some IYR covered calls in the IRA (3.50% yield), but figured I'd potentially add here on this brutal down move. I would note that markets are wide and had to nickel down or more to get a fill on the ladder as a unit. And we'll see how that goes ... .

การซื้อขายยังคงดำเนินอยู่:

The first rung at 56 expires worthless, leaving the May 55's and the June 54's. Will consider adding a rung back in on weakness.

การซื้อขายยังคงดำเนินอยู่:

Post-mopex, adding in some 16 delta June at the 57 strike for 1.59, as there currently is no July. Total credits collected of 10.97.

การซื้อขายยังคงดำเนินอยู่:

Pulling off the May 55's for .03, which is about as worthless as it gets, leaving me with the June 54's and 57's. 30-day IV is still pretty decent here at 47%, and I've now got a July expiry to use, so adding a rung at the 62 strike (~16 delta) in July for 1.56. Total credits collected: 10.97 - .03 + 1.56 = 12.50. Resulting setup: June 54P/June 57P/July 62P.

การซื้อขายยังคงดำเนินอยู่:

This has taken quite a dump here over the last week or so from a high of 75 to today's finish at 69, so added in a September (44.4% IV) rung at the 54 strike for 1.98, with total credits collected at 14.48 and the resulting setup: June 54P/June 57P/July 62P/September 54P.

การซื้อขายยังคงดำเนินอยู่:

Out of the June 54 for .18; scratch at 14.30.

การซื้อขายยังคงดำเนินอยู่:

Out of the June 57 for .24; scratch at 14.06 and leaving me with the July 62 and September 54 puts.

Closing the June and September's as a unit for .55 here, so made 13.51 ($1351).
