Today (4/13) I sold a NGq7p250c450 strangle for 0.030. IM is 284.

Today I exited this trade at 0.015. MROI is 10.9%. I used 6xIM. 22 days held.

I exited the call a couple of days ago and exited the put today.

I still have on NGq7p260c450 entered at 0.027 on 4/27.

I still have on NGu7p260c450 entered at 0.043 on 4/27.

Bought back the CCU P1600 at 50 %, and sold the CCU P1700 at 39. Intend to buy back at 50 %.

Followed Ron in selling the NGV C4.5 .

Best regards, Myrrdin

Due to the high volatility, strangles in the LCQ and LCV look interesting.

Eg. I legged into the LEV C130-P100, which is currently available for more than $ 1000.

I assume volatility to come down within the next couple of weeks.

Best regards, Myrrdin

Yes, I sold the same options. But you did a better job - I was too early and sold them at 0.28.

Being diversified is almost a nessecity when selling options, from what am learning. I am learning more all the time about selling. You people help me much.
I have much on paper for my own education and only have 4 in a live account.

At the current time of the year, I consider selling options in the grains, especially in corn, as high risk trades. In case there is more (less) rain in the weather forecasts for the US (South Americas) for the next couple of weeks, corn price will move up sharply, as COT data is bullish. The same is true for wheat.

Meat markets currently are hard to predict. I prefer selling strangles in such situations.

Clump risk is high, as these 4 options are closely correlated with each other.

Best regards, Myrrdin
