Feb 19 Trading Results

This month, scrapped for a profit. This month is tough to trade. Volatility is low.


Lesson Learnt TUP

On 25 Jan 19, TUP was trading with High Volatility than normal, Stock Price was at $38 and yield was about 7.2%, therefore sold two naked put at $30 strike  that will expire in <20 days (15 feb). On earning announcement (30 Jan), the price of the stock dropped by $11 which is about 25% of its price to $26.74. The naked Option went ITM. (30 Jan)Took the opportunity to sell one naked put at strike of $25 to average down my price. Stock price continue to slide to $26.2. however the price-slide slowed down dramatically. On 4 Feb, with price recovered to $27.53, I close out the naked put of $25 strike with a $15.82 profit  (do not know if this is a bear trap). Sold a call of $30 strike on a later month (MAR), believing that the $30 put option. will be exercised in 10days time and it will work like a covered call to have a profit of $78 in 38 days. On 12 Feb 18, 3 days before the put expire, sold another call at $30 strike, the amount of "covered calls" will equate to the 200 stocks bought and 2 Options that will be exercised at the end of the week. ( 4 covered call option). One day before the Option goes into expiry, the Stock recovered to $28.33, Not knowing if the recovery in price will continue, buy back the 2 options for a lost of $135. On the day of expiry, with stock moving to $29.702, I bought 300 shares of TUP. This will enable me to hold 100 shares of TUP if my covered call is exercised. There is a lot of learning for this month : For the last 3 recoveries, if I have taken the stock and not make so many corrections before it expires, I would have fared better; bottom-line is that I should have money to trade and not over trade.
