Monday 08 June 2020 Morning Notes

Paid the price for not closing out my short GLUU puts when I had the chance at .25 and .30, now I'm down in that trade. Still like the risk reward, but I went up some good money in a relatively short amount of time and thanks to hindsight wish I clipped the quick bucks.

Flipped straddles in AVGO, CIEN and ZM on Friday, all for nice winners, AVGO especially. And of course, I ran into more issues with Thinkorswim trying to trade the open, incredibly frustrating when I'm in a position that's up big and I can't get out of it thanks to platform issues. I realized the obvious flaw in my plan to open the opposite trade in a different platform to lock in my gains... because the chance existed that my trade could have been closed out in Thinkorswim but appears open, so then I'd end up in a position that I'd never want to put on. A trading turd sandwich of a situation.

Tacked on a HTZ July 2-1 1x2 put spread for .20. Amazing risk/reward on this one, and it was trading at .40 just a few days ago. Also added to my Jan '21 TAL 30/15 1x2 put ratio spread, my average cost is now .42. Would take an LK-like event to drive this ITM, but the potential payoff is obscene at over $14.00, more realistically would be a 10-20x return on this one. I now have longer dated ratios in TAL, GSX, AAXN, HTZ and WRTC
