Buying Silver

Recycling profits from crude oil and /ES strangle into silver. Silver is down. It will likely head up again in my estimation as a tag along to higher gold prices. Bought /SI Mar for 17.82.

I am selling a /ES strangle to take advantage of another pop in volatility. I will close it on a volatility drop or keep rolling it if volatility remains elevated. Sold /ES Mar -3160P/-3280 C for a credit of 102.00.

Closing /ES Call for a Profit of $487.50 per Contract

Here is an opportunity to cover the /ES 3220 Calls. Many purported reasons in the news for the market to come in including Coronavirus, Bernie leading other democratic nominees in recent polls, more conflict in Iraq, etc. Those maybe the reasons or maybe the market was just overbought.

Buying /NG Below $2.00.

Going back to the well to buy natural gas on its plummet below $2.00. Is natural gas going out of business? It’s a commodity so the answer is no. I will hold onto it until it is profitable. Bought /NG Feb for 1.956.

Selling a Strangle in /ES Futures

The uptick in volatility is providing an opportunity to sell a strangle in /ES. My portfolio theta has been very low so this trade will help on that front. I am skewing the strangle to the downside as I want to keep the portfolio delta negative. Sold /ES Feb -3090…

Natural Gas Again

How low will the price of natural gas go? No one knows, but I am looking for a bounce with this trade. Catching a fall knife perhaps, but it seems oversold. Bought /NG Feb for 2.129.
