10/12/2022 (6:30:10 am, PT) 🠈 expiration
I bought back the short call at $7.00 right at the Opening Bell.
PROFIT: $125
I decided I was OK with a quick profit of $125 since the FOMC would be releasing its minutes at 11 am (PT). We never know how Wall Street will react to those minutes, so it's much better to close profitable trades before the event.
NOTE:
SPX settled at 3577.03, so I could have made $825 in one day if I had left my trade open. BUT . . . like I said, sometimes it's just not worth the risk.

Comments:
★ I placed a bearish trade because SPX gapped down at the Opening Bell and the intraday trend was clearly bearish
★ I went pretty far OTM because sometimes the markets will reverse after a morning selloff
★ I placed my bearish trade when the intraday stochastics were in the "overbought" region (see chart below)

NOTE: When I placed my trade at 9:54 am, I could tell that SPX was going to keep rising today. Thus, I could have chosen a short put that was closer "to the money" (i.e., higher strike price) OR I could have sold more contracts. However, in the end, I chose to play it safe and opted for a relatively easy trade with a high probability for success.
