@earlyretirementnowcom 3710 here, so feel ok. I'll have to do a more rigorous analysis, but at the same delta (say 3.0) the 2 DTE with 225 points ma...
@john can't help you with personal experience, but my thought is to maintain a constant delta across the Puts. This keeps a level risk vice fixed tim...
Sold the 6 May Put on 4070 Strike for $1.35 with delta around 2.75. Feeling a little greedy, since I've hit weekly income level already and still h...
@figuy1 Big runup around 1445 yesterday made today a non-event. I do really like these 1 DTE trades, for now.
Sold the 3 May 3800 Strike for $1.15 and delta around 2.1. I really like these 1 DTE with VIX around 40. A little scary to sell 7% OOM and still ge...

@earlyretirementnowcom sold 3925 Put for $2.40 (got greedy) at a ~3 delta early in the trading day (1015 Eastern).
Sold on Friday early around 1000 Eastern Time the 4060 Put for $1.50 when SPX was about 4390.
@mpaziran I was at 4405, so sweating for a bit today. Sold Monday 4160 for $1.95 at the close, so feel pretty good on that one.
@setspreads brief discussion in comments on the Option Series part 8, but think more discussion is probably valuable.
@nobatmanjokes I'm trying to be slightly more aggressive after getting busted (Friday close) when VIX is high. In normal times, my plan is as foll...
