Reason for Opening:

In the interest of "Selling in May and going away", I've decided to sell to open this bull put spread as I expect that the SPX at a minimum migrates higher over the next several sessions following this wave lower that began on 04/29. Here's my ThinkorSwim Shared Chart: http://tos.mx/twGaAf9

LOSS MANAGEMENT PLAN

I will look to close this position if it appears that we are going to break and close below the 2800 level by Wed. 05/06 or if the SPX has failed to migrate at least into the 2875 price level by that same date.

Reason for Opening:

LOSS MANAGEMENT PLAN

As an earnings play, if this position does go against me it will likely be quite difficult to get out of the position and minimize my loss although if I am able to, I would look to get out of this position if it appears we are going to close below the 430 price level

With /CL hitting my long term target of $11.00, I'm going to take a stab at a bullish position in Halliburton (HAL) which will rise if /CL migrates higher as I expect. Here's the ThinkorSwim shared chart for /CL: http://tos.mx/M9564co

LOSS MANAGEMENT PLAN

I will look to close this position in HAL if it appears we are going to close below the $11.00 price level in /CL on the weekly chart.

PROFIT MANAGEMENT PLAN

I will look to capture profits in this position in HAL when /CL has migrated up to approx. the $17.00 price level.

$260.53 $16.47 25.00%
Reason for Opening:

As discussed in the AlphaX meeting and in the Post Market Review on 4/14, I was expecting a confirmation drop in the SPX today which would cause me to execute a position to benefit from a move down to the near term auction zone in the SPY which is between 255-260.

LOSS MANAGEMENT PLAN

I will look to close this position if we migrate above the 282 price level or haven't dropped below the near term pivot which is around the 275 price level by 04/24.

PROFIT MANAGEMENT PLAN

I will look to capture profits around the 255 price level and reconsider a new position to take advantage of a further drop if it looks likely.

Reason for Opening:

ADJUSTMENT 04/17 @ 2:20 PM ET: I am rolling this position out to Wed (04/22) expiration. I was able to roll for a 1.10 debit which gives me a net credit of 1.10 as I had originally received 2.20 on this position. I'm opening this position as I expect price to migrate lower into tomorrow down to at least 2730. I will likely roll my existing bear call that has the 2710/2715 strikes but still holding that position as of 04/16 @ 1:30pm ET.

LOSS MANAGEMENT PLAN

I will look to continue to manage this position as necessary. and will discuss more specific management plans in the 360 Review on 4/17.

PROFIT MANAGEMENT PLAN

I will let this position expire worthless.
