tIP BOT +1 VERTICAL CAT 100 MAR 16 65/67.5 CALL @2.52 PHLX
The sharp rally we experienced over the past several weeks claimed another victim in my portfolio. back on 2/7 I sold the MAR62.5/65 call spread in $CAT. I collected .87 per contract and had a 68% chance of the trade going in my favor. Well, it was the 32% that came to be, as CAT participated in the monster rally over the last few weeks. I closed this trade a loser. Paying 2.52 per contract to close the spread, thats a net loss of 1.65 per contract. We define our risk and position size to play another day, and thats what I'll do.

About AA A career in media and all I walked away with was this goofy nickname. A veteran of the radio industry, I became tired of the insecurity of constant consolidation in an industry that has found itself in perpetual decline. Like most, I began trading long stock, with mixed results. I have since learned the value of selling premium against long positions, as well as selling premium with slightly more advanced option strategies like vertical spreads and Iron Condors. I use Chaikin Analytics to identify both long opportunities and bullish and bearish opportunities to sell premium. Archives
