if this one turns into dust/smoke/nil/nothing again,
then I would switch to *regular* SPY/QQQ swing trade.


position opened @1.57 a piece for SPY 126 put. NOV. 18

Why not leg in over a couple of days, say 30% a day? That would mitigate your exposure to theta at least somewhat in the event nothing is going on early next week.
 
I don't do partial position in options,
that's the strategy for position trading.

it surely looks and feels like it can only go up.
But it's right at the 3rd up wave, and lower high for consecutive 3 heads. plus low volume.

The calculated risk here is 18k, 1/3 of what I earned Wednesday. No biggie.

That trade is death. We're going to test 130 soon.

opening a position is the easiest. have you decided how you are going to maintain your position under different market scenarios?

big sell off mon or tues - will you cash out? or buy a lower strike? or do nothing?

market doesn't do too much and remains here or higher at expiration - will you buy another weeks waiting for a 400pt drop and spike in the vix?
 
wont know til it happens but run it down fatten the puts,run it up ,fatten the calls,revert to the mean,happens quite often at exp
