Aaaand… In the money. Let’s see how it plays out before pulling the plug.

No plug pulling was necessary. Aiming for lower premiums proved itself once again.

I really wanted to go for a higher premium, but got cold feet. Trump still has Greenland issues.

Sold 2 SPX and 2 XSP for 160 points below futures price and 2 SPX for 180 points above futures price. And the futures are triple-digits down…

I considered taking advantage of the massive premiums yesterday to get a double premium (since the market was closed yesterday), but decided to wait for two reasons:

1. Avoid IBKR’s exposure fees.

2. Avoid Trump’s decisions regarding Greenland overnight. Futures dropped another 60 points since then, so it might have been a good decision.
