Dear trading community,

it's been a while, but I was traveling a lot during recent weeks, so I didn't find the time to post my portfolio updates.

Here is a look at my sample portfolio for Friday September 13 2019.

On Wednesday, September 4th 2019, I sold an 30 delta strangle in IWM. On Monday, September 9th 2019, I had to roll up my put to defend the position.
My overall credit for this position is $7.03.
My profit target for this position is $2.01, so I'm going to close this position when it trades for $5.02 or at 21 DTE.
At the moment this position is down $2.05 ($205 per one lot).


October IWM Short Call

On Friday, August 23rd 2019, I sold this call for a credit of $4.53.
Since this is a very small position and because of my traveling I missed defending this position.
Next week I will have to sell a put against it to defend this position.
At the moment this position is down $7.47 ($747 per one lot).

TLT October Inverted Short Straddle

01. TLT Inverted Strangle - down $2.97 - 13.09.2019.png

On Wednesday, September 4th 2019, I sold an 30 delta strangle in IWM.
On Monday, September 9th 2019, I had to roll up my put to defend the position.
On Friday, September 13th 2019, I had to roll down my call and go inverted.

My overall credit for this position is now $7.29.
Since the most I can make on this position is 29 cents, I'm looking for a scratch, so I'm going to close this position when it trades for $7.00 or at 21 DTE.
At the moment this position is down $2.97 ($297 per one lot).
