| Today a NEW Cash Secured Put position was opened using Defiance Daily Target 2X Long SMCI ETF (ticker: SMCX) when the stock was trading for $48.45 a shares. I sold (2) Cash Secured Put contract(s) using (200) shares worth of money for the (July)-18-2025 Expiration Date, $41 Strike Price receiving a Premium of $2.7 of $540 in upfront cash flow to begin this trade. This would be an Cash Secured Put. | |||||||||
| COMMENTARY AS TO WHY I OPENED THIS TRADE | |||||||||
| WHY I OPENED this CSP on > SMCX | |||||||||
| This trade begins as a (21) day trade where I'm trying to capture anywhere from 1.2% - 1.3% for a weekly Cash Secured Put and 3% or more for a monthly expiration. This trade will make $540 which is 6.59% on money invested | |||||||||
| Further commentary as to why I opened this trade > | |||||||||
| SMCX ( 2x Leveraged ETF to Super Micro ) > As I’ve mentioned in my previous trades, SMCI appears to have moved past most—if not all—of the bad news, and is now starting to trend higher. That said, it remains range-bound in the short term. Looking at the chart , we can see that the $41 strike represents a solid near-term support level. I have little fear using the $41 strike and if assigned we would still be able to do the next months cost basis trade and make good returns. | |||||||||
| > 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. | |||||||||
