Unusual, my gut told me to short the close....

Which I did.  I almost NEVER hold positions overnight. I fade the gaps each morning with daily $SPX options and my ave. trade time is less than 60 seconds.  I quit for the day afterwards.  

 

Only about twice per year do I get a gut feeling that tells me to go short.  Because pf how infrequent this is, my four-year track record on these "gut checks" have a 100% batting average.  I've been busy most of the day and haven't glanced at the market.  However, I logged in 10 min. before the close to check prices, something that again, is unusual as I am in-and-out within minutes of the market open and away to go play the remainder of each day.   Not this time....

 

I purchased the Jun 24th $SPX 4475 puts, I sold a credit spread (Jun 21 5580/5530 calls) AND I purchased 10,000 shares of SQQQ, all at 2:59 cst.  

trade time is less than 60 seconds.  I quit for the day afterwards.

 

  

   Isn't it nice to have a life?
 

It is Brother, it is!

Love it you do credit spreads, only real way to make money with options in my view but just curious is that sell the 5530, buy 5580, that's a nice trade I see the 5530 at $4.10?

Sorry for the delay. This is my first trip to this site in almost a week. Yes, I sold the 5300, bought the 5800. I exited this spread on Thursday and make a little over $3200.
I’m looking to enter a similar such trade this week, I’ll scale in, in the event the market moves a little higher into mid-week. Possible cycle top over the next few days, possibly as late as July 1-3rd.

Yup I was in hard on Friday selling options on the July cycle as they are insanely priced...
