$PRU VERTICAL 261016 PUT 115.0/PUT 110.0$ PRU: take loss at 200% of premium collected.  Part of trading that there will be losing trades but when it's a setup issue, then I am only the one to be responsible. I entered this trade too aggressively at bearish fast MA yet I still get in thinking that the 100 SMA will hold the support.  Sub optimal trade setup and paid with a losing trade to learn my lesson.

$VRT 20261030 295.0 CALL$ VRT: Take Profit at 70% Max premium.  18 DTE yet already hit profit Target so its also closed to secure profit.  The underlying stock is consolidating these past 3 weeks but overall outlook is still bearish.  Will be selling a fresh covered call to replace this trade.

$CRM VERTICAL 261016 PUT 225.0/PUT 220.0$ CRM: take profit.  Very small profit to cover the cost of trades and it was preset to buy back at $$90 per contract.  This is for risk management as the trade had left 5 DTE so I'm actively managing this out.  Glad to be able to collect 10% profit and tick a win here.  Will be replacing with a new trade setup.

$MET VERTICAL 261016 PUT 95.0/PUT 92.5$ MET: take profit.  Nice run up past 3 trading sessions and managed to close this today for 70% of max premium.  Was already planned to close this trade since it has 5 DTE remaining and anything closer will be more volatile and subject to market direction from this week.  Therefore was glad that it ended up being profitable.

Replying to @skythelimit:Good idea. Think either way is fine. I do find those $0.5 strikes setup has lesser liquidity so I tend to use the $5/$10 increment setups.//@skythelimit:That 5 dollar roll-up makes sense. I care more about IVR here though — 242.5 would give the long leg a bit more breathing room
@Terra_Incognita:$AMZN VERTICAL 261030 PUT 245.0/PUT 240.0$ 1️⃣ Why am I making this trade now? Bull put spread 30th Oct expiry with strike $245/240. Catching the upside momentum. The older BPS for 23rd expiry was closed on Fri and assessed the setup is still viable so opened another trade 1 week later to 30th Oct.  Since the price had moved up by at least $10 between the 2 trades, I've adjusted up the stroked by a $5 higher to short put at $245 and long put 1 strike lower.  Stock still a distance away from short term high so it the Q4 positive momentum market can carry the trade, then this can be profitable.  2️⃣ What’s my plan from here? take profit at around 70-90% max premium.

$PLTR 20261120 195.0 CALL$  Sharing for coins.  This is one part of a bull call spread that of $$195/200 that is now in the money.  Nice 5% breakout on Friday right after setting this up and now inside profit zone.  Still need the theta decay to work its way for more profit in the coming weeks. 
$AMZN VERTICAL 261030 PUT 245.0/PUT 240.0$ 1️⃣ Why am I making this trade now? Bull put spread 30th Oct expiry with strike $245/240. Catching the upside momentum.

$AMZN VERTICAL 261023 PUT 240.0/PUT 235.0$ AMZN: take profit.  These bull put spread were just setup on 5th Oct and in less than 1 weeks already hit its target profit of 70% and still with 14 DTE.  AMZN move well today on a moderately bullish market and the trade went in my favour.  The drop on Thursday was well supported by multiple moving averages and it nicely rebounded up alongside the market.  Happy to collect early and close for the weekend. 
$DDOG VERTICAL 261030 PUT 250.0/PUT 255.0$ 1️⃣ Why am I making this trade now? Setting up bull put spread on DDOG at $255/250 expiring 30th Oct.  Trend is bullish.  Earnings on 5th Nov so it won't interfere much.  Past few days forming bull flag and potentially break out testing new high which is only few dollars away.  2️⃣ What’s my plan from here? Take profit between 70% to 90% target achieved.  Take loss of price hit short strike levels. 
$FCX VERTICAL 261016 PUT 67.0/PUT 66.0$ FCX: take profit on these bull put spreads.  Hit preset profit taking at 70% of max premium and the timing is just right.  Was about to manage the trade out since it's about 7 DTE now.  FCX is moving up well rising >3% for the day but it's testing some resistance zones right now so glad I'm out with a win. 
$Exxon Mobil(XOM)$ XOM: take profit.  Small profit taking. Was trading bull put spread on XOM so it made these shares a bit redundant. Decided to exit on a high and collect small profit.  Recycle capital to support new trade setup.  XOM making new recent high and might test all time high of $174.09 made on 30th Mar 2026 and this is just a few dollars away. 
$ADBE STRANGLE 261120 CALL 275.0/PUT 205.0$ 1️⃣ Why am I making this trade now? ADBE short strangle expiring 20th Nov Short call $275 Short put $205 Decent $5.5 credit collection expanding profit range to $75  Earnings on 9th Dec so the setup skipped earning period reducing potential volatility.  ADBE fell 32% year to date but also is up 23% since late June.  Believed the price will face resistance as most moving averages are still bearish.  Short strangle sets the boundary of where I think ADBE might land during this period so as long as it stays within range, I'll be set. 2️⃣ What’s my plan from here? take profit separately by each leg as it hit La profit targ
$UAL 20261016 120.0 CALL$ UAL: take profit on this covered call.  Achieved 90% of max premium with 1 more week to go so decided to close to secure profit.  Separately sold new covered call with lowered $115 strike for the same expiry on 16th Oct to milk some additional premium. 
$PM VERTICAL 261016 PUT 185.0/PUT 190.0$ PM: take profit at 50%. With less than 8 days to expiry, it's about time to manage this trade out when the stock is trading higher today.  For most of the duration of this bull put spread, the price was trading in and around the stroke of $190 as it was setup at 0.45 delta.  Now that 50% of profit is achieved, and with seemingly weaker general market for the day, taking a profit seems like the better idea than chasing profit. 
$PLTR VERTICAL 261023 PUT 175.0/PUT 170.0$ PLTR: take profit.  This bull out spread was profitable after a good run today and is able to achieved 70% of premium collection with 15 more days till expiry. Profit target was preset so there were less guessing work and trade to manage.  Have also setup a new bull call spread on PLTR to chase for some additional profit funded by this win so let's see. 
$PLTR VERTICAL 261120 CALL 200.0/CALL 195.0$ 1️⃣ Why am I making this trade now? PLTR broke $200 and retreated. Setup this Bull Call Spread at $195/200 expiring on 20th Nov to give this plenty of room to move.  Paid debit of $2.5 so breakeven at $197.5 which the stock is already trading above. Just have to wait the next 40+ days for theta to work its round and for PLTR to hold the current ground.  GEX analysis call wall at $200 2️⃣ What’s my plan from here? Preset take profit at about 70-90% gains. Cut loss of premium lose 50%.
$IBM 20261120 190.0 PUT$ IBM: 16 consecutive red candles! And Premarket is down still.  Setup short put position at $190 strike which is slightly below 23rd July bottom for potential supoort.  Longer dated to 20th Nov to let it more time to run.  Separately also sold another short put expiring on 18th Dec as well.
