Trade Commentary: 08 April 2019 MONDAY

I’ve decided it’s time I should bank some profits.

I sold the JUL19 Crude Oil 45-strike PUT for 0.18 ($180).  It last traded Friday at 0.06, so there is a $120 profit to be realized.  I will try today to make a closing purchase near 0.06.  Overnight during the weekend, Crude Oil futures are up 1.00 and more, so it is likely I’ll be able to do this.   If not, I will strongly consider putting in a GTC order to close this trade at/near 0.06.

Also I sold the SEP19 35-strike Crude Oil PUT for 0.09 ($90) and it last traded Friday for 0.03.  I will try to close this out for 0.03 today (Monday 4/8/19).

I have also put in a GTC (good til canceled) order to buy back the Corn  DEC19 short 540-strike CALLs at 1.375.  During this weekend, DEC19 corn was 389.75 and if it drops another few cents, I can take profit on DEC19 540 CALLs and perhaps will sell another CALL strike a little lower than 540. See video below.

I’m still wanting to sell some CALLs on NOV19 Soybeans.  I’ve been watching the NOV19 soy bean 1200-strike CALL and it last traded at 2.875.  I had hope we might get some rumored or real news to push the soybean prices a little higher, but the huge amount of stocks have kept prices down so far.  I may reconsider either the amount of premium for the 1200-strike CALL or perhaps a lower strike soon. And in the video (below) you’ll see I could also be shopping the JUL19 soybean CALLs to sell.
