SPX credit call spread (options)

Friday, 7/13/2018 (EXPIRATION DAY)

Trade 1 (9:58:34 am, PT) 

buy +4 July 13, 2018  2825 calls at $0.06 ("wings")
sell −4 July 13, 2018  2805 calls at $2.36 44.78 delta

  • net credit:  $2.30 x 4 x 100 = $920 (max profit)
  • margin:  $7429


Trade 2 (10:49:26 am, PT)

buy back the short calls (2805 strike) at $1.00 to take profits


Trade 3 (10:55:18 am, PT)

SPX went back up, so I sold (to open) the same calls (2805 strike) again at $1.20 (this time the delta was 31)


Trade 4 (12:47:20 pm, PT)

  • buy back the short calls (2805 strike) at $0.10 to take profits and remove the risk
  • let the 4 long calls (2825 strike) expire at 1:00 pm, PT


TOTAL PROFIT:  $960 (in 3 hours) ← this is more than the initial "max profit" of $920
