$USO 20260814 150.0 CALL$ USO: take profit. Sold this naked short when the oil spiked higher on 23rd July.  With most of the premium collected, decided to close 1 week ahead of expiry to recycle margins for new trades.

$VRT 20260807 280.0 PUT$ VRT: Take Profit.  Climbing from the lows of $220 back to >$289 in the past few bullish trading sessions after a 17% drop post earnings on 29th Jul.  Didn't really think that I would have clocked a profitable trade this soon.  Current price of $283 is well within 1 ATR of $21 against strike price of $280 so decided to take profit ahead of expiry. 

Replying to @pixelo:While the volatility crush would provide juicy premium returns, the current price is well within 1 ATR of daily price movement. That’s not including the expected volatility swing from the earnings itself.//@pixelo:taking profit into earnings on a 40 put feels early lol, you really think the vol crush beats the move?

$C 20260828 130.0 PUT$ C: take profit. More than half of premium collected with 3 more weeks to expiry. Low volatility stocks so decided to collect and move on Instead of waiting.  Will look to reenter should market takes a breather from this week's very bullish run.

$OKLO 20260807 40.0 PUT$ OKLO: take profit.  Closing ahead of its earning on 7th Aug.  Final day of expiration of the contract and earning day will create a level of volatility that is not worth the risk.  Decided to take the money off the table and move on.
