This week, we'll have 6 expirations: All 5 calendar days at the market close plus an additional 5/19 put that last trades on Thursday but settles at the open on 5/20.
Happy trading!
Had a small hiccup at the close last Thursday and ended up 7pts in the red. SPX really dropped at the very end.
Last couple sessions have been really wild, and an hour after open, I was able to sell way out of the money for the Tuesday close.
When the index was around 3771 at 1030 EST, I sold the 3400 Put for $1.45 and IV was over 80.
