I closed $WOLF 20241025 13.5 CALL$ ,WOLF: collected premiums in full when the covered calls I sold expired in the money on 25th Oct.WOLF went as high as $17.45, a startling 240% in just 6 weeks. As of now, it still closes at $14.86 which is still a respectable 2x gain if one managed to catch the turn. For my case, I broke even on investment and gained on selling the options premium which is a very positive outcome.
I closed $Alibaba(BABA)$ ,BABA: Secured 20% capital gain when sold BABA at $95 as part of the covered call that went into money. Didn't manage to capture the early Oct upside rally as all these calls were sold much earlier. Nevertheless these trades are profitable in a consistent manner.
I closed $BABA 20241025 95.0 CALL$ ,BABA: collected premiums in full when the covered calls I sold expired in the money on 25th Oct.This is the last batch of BABA stocks I held for more than 1 year and finally all are offloaded during the recent rally. Didn't capture the full upside as I sold most of these covered calls before the early Oct rally, yet most of the stocks were sold above holding price so they were also adding capital gains on top of profits from the options premium.
I closed $NIO 20241025 7.0 CALL$ ,NIO: collected premiums in full when the covered calls I sold expired worthless on 25th Oct.Similar stories across multiple Chinese counters, initially pop in early Oct due to stimulus news turns awry and corrects back to baseline. Very short lives and lack of momentum. NIO closed around $5.26 which is just a touch above 200 days MA at around $5.10. Dropping below would indicate renewed bearishness on this counter.
I closed $SMCI 20241025 50.0 CALL$ ,SMCI: collected premiums in full when the covered calls I sold expired worthless on 25th Oct.The counter has been consolidating past 3 weeks and the ATR dropping from $10 in Mar to only about $3 in recent weeks. The slowing in momentum might show investor is cooling down on this counter amidst strings of negative news. Earnings on 29th Oct so next we'll I think the volatility will be back.
I closed 100.0 share(s) $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ ,selling at 230 due to covered call being exercised. didnt manage to react as share price shot up overnight. missed some profit but overall still a profitable trade. so no complain
I closed 1 lot(s) $TSLA 20241025 230.0 CALL$ ,this cc got exercised. unable to roll up as the share price shot up overnight. missed some profit but its ok. will continue to buy more tesla and repeat the cycle
I opened 1.0 unit(s) $META CUSTOM 241206 PUT 520.0/PUT 580.0/PUT 565.0$ ,again open put ratio spread hoping to buy meta shares. think the share price is likely to retrace a bit before going up depending on the upcoming earning
I closed $WBA 20241025 10.5 CALL$ ,WBA: collected premiums in full when the covered calls I sold expired worthless on 25th Oct.WBA initial pop up after earnings on 15th Oct went as high as $11.07 has now fizzled and closed at $9.26 which is 16% lower. Glad to collect premium in full and can sell new ones next week.
I closed $IQ 20241025 3.0 CALL$ ,IQ: collected premiums in full when the covered calls I sold expired worthless on 25th Oct.IQ is now down 20% after closing as high as $3.19 on 2nd Oct. This ensured I collected the covered call in full, yet it also meant that my holding is now down 20% from its peak if I sold. Well, that's trading psychology. When it's >$3, I think it can continue to go even higher 😅. Now I'll be happy if I can sell it again at $3.
I closed $ASML VERTICAL 241101 PUT 670.0/PUT 665.0$ ,Collected about 60% of the premium. Therefore, I decided to close the trade to secure the profit. Achieved about 9% ROI in 8 days.

VXX closed at $55.29, one of the highest since 7th Oct as signs of volatility in the market rises. I think it still can go up by a notch leading up to Middle East war escalations and US presidential election outcome.
I opened $Carvana Co.(CVNA)$ ,CVNA: continue to short into CVNA ahead of it's earning on 30th Oct. Earnings usually are pretty binary outcome so either I'll be in the money and close the trades for profit or lose more money. Will know by next week.
