NovWk3 - Options Expiry

Saturday is my next most favourite day. Why is say this is because I get to wake up and upon checking my account, the options that I sold would have expired worthless. Indeed the trade on Wednesday has paid off, and ROI for this trade is 2.95%.

The trade summary again:

Trade: Sell SPY NovWk3 PS 133/134 $0.05
Entered: Wednesday 14 Nov
Expired: Friday 16 Nov
Contracts size: 5
ROI: 2.95%

Analysis:

Last night the market was turbulent. At opening, it dipped, and then went on a roller coaster that could have popped the heart out of any senior citizen just watching the market price fluctuations. Interestingly, it went down pretty near to the strike price of $134 with only about USD 0.70 cents as a buffer.

And then almost like clockwise, or a stretched rubber band, the SPY bounced all the way upwards to $135.60 and started trending into positive territory. Perhaps this was because of the massive drop of USD 1.86 on Wednesday itself, and that the market was in some kind of auto-recovery mode. Or it's that knee-jerk reaction that I was wondering about. It happened on Friday, not too late, much to my comfort of course.

I noticed something interesting and somewhat similar though, and I am eager to try this out in my strategy for next week. I will blog about this strategy in another post. Meanwhile, the trade's safe! And it's another win!
