Short strangle on SPY with a short delta bias. The call is at 288 and put at 259. It is offering about 300$ in premium. My leverage on this is about 0.5x (account balance / underlying notional value). This is a somewhat directional play as well as a short premium play.
Short Strangle, 30 delta (31/38 strikes), 37 'DTE, $1.00 credit
Short Strangle, 25 delta (109/114 strikes), 37 'DTE, $1.30 credit
Short Strangle, 30 delta (39/42 strikes), 37 'DTE, $1.25 credit
Short Strangle, 20 delta (68/75 strikes), 37 'DTE, $1.07 credit
There is call skew in TSLA right now which makes call selling more profitable than put selling. I am going to take advantage of the high IV and the call skew by selling premium on the call side.

Price has sold off hard from the bearish price action analysis I did last week (those will be linked to this post). As I pointed out in my analysis last week, the bearish price action offers an opportunity to get short and once price drops to the 1215-1205 range we can switch from a short position to a neutral/short to then profit from the high implied...
Soybeans are offering a short premium opportunity as price perhaps starts making a bit of a floor. I have sold a straddle at 840 w/ 45 DTE for a maximum profit of $2500. A few things made this an attractive trade such as the high implied volatility and price having reached a key support level where I hope price stays buoyed while I run out the clock and collect...
