I'm pretty jealous of your fills Kevin. That seems to be an important component of all of this - knowing where to place your orders appropriately.
I'm still trying to get a reasonable fill for Nat Gas calls (which I've had on since yesterday). Trying to get a fill at 0.005 on NGM35C. Was at the ask this morning on the news but none filled. I would work 0.004 but the ROI is below 3% so not sure its worth it.
Oddly enough, I placed the order to sell 1 on 4/2, when the price was around 3.1. I made it a GTC order in hopes it would get filled in RB went up a little, so I never expected it to get hit after price fell to 2.9. Then when I checked to make sure the fill wasn't a mistake, I saw the bid at .0016, and I sold another.
It didn't quite make up for some of the non-options losses I've had this week, but still nice nevertheless!
Every dog has a bone thrown to them every once in a while...Meanwhile I somehow received a double whammy: Kidney stone on the way....Half a gallon of water gone so far....I was told it was small, ~2mm so I can pass it in the comfort of my own home. Meds on hand. This is my second one, first one about 12 years ago. Tonight will be filled with joy...back here in a few days....
I thought I'd share my very simple dashboard of current positions. I use this to easily see if any of my positions should concern me. If they do, I then dig deeper (margin calcs, loss calcs, etc).
The horizontal line is where I sold options (or super close to the strike price).
It is now bid at .007. Sometimes you have to wait to get filled. Sometimes the market just moves too fast and you don't get any. Patience is the key. As you did, don't chase the market too far.
Nice push up this morning on Nat Gas that I wasn't anticipating. Got filled on those June 5 Calls I had sitting out there from yesterday at 0.005. Seems I need to be a bit careful of that since what was a delta of 0.02 yesterday became a delta of 0.04 today.
