DISCLAIMER: This trade is based on this date. I'm not suggesting a move up or down. I'm showing my trade that I have already done. I'm not recommending this stock as a purchase/trade. Think of it like this, I'm 'Showing you the World thru my Eyes'.

DETAILS FOR THIS CASH SECURED PUT TRADE
Today, (10) Cash Secured Put contract(s) bought back on Block Inc (ticker: SQ) for the Jun-30-2023 Expiration Date, $62.00 Strike Price for a Premium of $1.97 > SQ was trading for $64.68 a share. Because I bought this option back early, I did not make max profit. The final profit / cash flow collected it posted below. Instead of making the original premium, I collected $0.47 or 0.23% of the total projected cash flow for this trade.
THIS TRADE WAS PLACED INSIDE MY NON-TAXABLE IRA ACCOUNT
CASH SECURED PUTS ARE PREMIUM ONLY TRADES

WHY THIS CASH SECURED PUT WAS CLOSED (ASSIGNED/BUYBACK)
WHY I CLOSED this CSP Trade > Feeling that after just one day I can collect 23% of the total option projected cash flow we're going to take this off the board and literally pocket $500 in a day this was a 30-day trade so why not
General plan for my Cash Secured Puts Cash on Cash % investments > I like to generate a 2% Cash on Cash return on my money invested ... depending on the timeframe ... 1 week, 1% is ok but if 30 days I want more like 2 ot 3% preferred

What does this mean? If within the first week the option falls 50% I will buy back the option and look to roll for another credit ... if the option falls to 10% of the value, I will buy back and roll.

DETAILS FOR THIS CASH SECURED PUT TRADE
Today a NEW Cash Secured Put position was opened using Alibaba Group Holding Ltd - ADR (ticker: BABA) when the stock was trading for $83.36 a shares. I sold (5) Cash Secured Put contract(s) using () shares worth of money for the Jul-14-2023 Expiration Date, $83.00 Strike Price receiving a Premium of $3.10 of $1,550 in upfront cash flow to begin this trade. This would be an (OTM) Cash Secured Put.
COMMENTARY AS TO WHY I OPENED THIS TRADE
WHY I OPENED this CSP on > BABA > With the stock trading near what I believe is the $82 support line I'm going to use this $83 strike to collect some decent premium but I believe of the next 30 days the stock should reverse and move a little bit higher I'm actually thinking the stock will move away from this $83 strike and I will be able to buy this back mid contract for much less
> as with every trade, I will manage this trade as it approaches expiration ... buying back the option if it adheres to my -50% and 0.10 cent guidelines. -50% guideline being, such this option price fall 50% or more in the first 2 weeks I will buy back and look to roll the option - if the this option falls to 0.10 or less (in most cases) I will buy back the option and roll it for another credit if it presents itself.
