Ditto on the VIX puts. A 12.5% profit is a win in my book any day. I'm abstaining from the IWM put due to how much we've already declined the last few days.

Yea, it is a very small position and I am going to try to sell it before today's close. that was my plan going into it anyway.

market is struggling here.

bought IWM feb 7 put, 109 strike, .51

I doubled down on this toward the close, basis now .47

I strongly think we go lower tomorrow.

sold at .62 for about 30% profit.

100% cash now (except TSP)

doubled my balance in a month in 2 accounts doing small options trades with 10-20% of the available capital. sweet, makes up for last year.

sold 27.26 3% ish gain. should be more considering VIX is down 13%. sold some IWM calls for a loss also, price was not reflecting the IWM rally so I bailed.
