I closed $GOOGL DIAGONAL 241220/241227 PUT 187.5/PUT 185.0$ ,I closed $GOOGL DIAGONAL 241220/241227 PUT 187.5/PUT 185.0$ , Roll to next week expiration with lower strike. I decided to roll instead of assignments due to: 1. Freeing margin so I can trade more during market correction 2. Extra cash will subscribe Tiger Vault CSOP USD Money Market Fund (T+0 Fund) and earn interest. 3. It's market correction, better hold cash than hold stock
Roll is basically a glorified word to describe the situation where you close out the current position and reopen the position (with longer expiry OR different strike price) at later expiration date. Its the same as closing your position manually, and open another position manually = 2 steps I think I am going to like the roll feature for 2 reason: 1. 2 or more manual move combined into one step. 2. Delaying an stock assignment.
I am kinda shocked with GOOGL pre market price right now. Lucikily i managed to confirm my GOOGL sale at 190 by using synthetic short (buy call and sell put at same strike) I also have an existing GOOGL Put 187.5 Expiry 20 Dec, instead of taking assignment, i decided to roll it
I personally recommend to follow Mathematical Money. Its very informational and educational. I think i am going to spend hours digesting his trades. And the most impressive about this trades arent his trades, its his Margin management. He has god tier Margin Management.
