COMMENTARY AS TO WHY I CLOSED THIS TRADE
WHY I CLOSED this CSP on > IREN
This IREN trade closes after (11) days of being on for reasons I outline below. simple buy back as the stock has fallen, we can pocket the premium and now will look to use the time remaining on this option for the next option, will roll out to next week if the numbers work out in my favor. > the stock has fallen such that this option is down -72.48% which means we will use TIME to our advantage and close this trade, taking risk off the table and now have cash back in the account to make another trade >

LETTING MONEY BUILD THE ACCOUNT SIZE
Because this is in my non-taxable account I'm just going to use the premium to build the account size to make more premium versus buying dividend paying funds will save that for all my taxable accounts and with no tax implications we're not going to put any money in the tax bucket either

COMMENTARY AS TO WHY I OPENED THIS TRADE
WHY I OPENED this CSP on > IREN
This trade begins as a (11) 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 $1,090 which is 2.83% on money invested
Further commentary as to why I opened this trade >
IREN > Not wanting to extent myself too too much here, using a strike that is -13% down and still collecting a good premium is a 'safer' trade ... as IREN has shown good support anywhere near the $36/$38 strikes ... I can mange this.
2 trade plan (Cash Secured Put + Covered Call) if needed a second trade >
This trade is , trade #1 ... a CSP for a premium profit of $1,090. If this trade expires worthless of I buy the option back profitable later , all good but if I were to be assigned the shares and the stock price in a worse case scenario fell an additional -$0 , I could then do an at my cost basis CCW making a possible $2.79 (hypothetical based on the trade numbers at the time of this post) so that would be $1.09 for trade #1 and $2.79 for trade #2 which would equal (these being the same timeframe for each) $3.88 in the same timeframe (that means, if this OPEN CSP trade is 1 week and are assigned the shares, the CC projected premium is for the same 1 week, so on)
> 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.
