Options Strategy Monthly Analysis July 2019

Boring market for Options Sellers. VIX is low, no oversolds conditions, nothing to do as yet.
Would it be interestid to Buy some options for once? It is something on my thoughts.


We let expire the options entered on June, making us +4.06% up YTD, far bellow the  SPX +19.29%

Options Strategy Monthly Analysis June 2019

SPX has dropped 200 points since May post. Markets are no doubt oversold looking at the Estotastics. 200 EMA has been perfored and real support is as far as 2350 level,  Would expect the market to explore 260 and find some support there (50% Fib from the lows and zone where has been reactions on the past)



We opened a Put Spread SPX 28th June 2540/50 on 16th May as soon as SPX were in oversold position. 4 weeks til expiration now. We follow and baby sit accordingly.



Taking a look to the volatility index $VIX we see trand to higher levels, so will aim to see 2650 to enter new positions for August and September

Options Strategy Monthly Analysis May 2019

A year to forget so far. SPX and Russell have been non stop raising giving us no oversold condition to enter a Put Spread



Russell 2000 did on March but we didnt take the wave.



SPX didnt get to oversold condition over 2019 so far. we went close twice, but again we didnt take the opportunity


$VIX looks can even get more lower, so nothing to do in the markets, just wait and wait to the right moment.

Options Strategy Monthly Analysis February 2019

After the storm a relentless rise on the US Markets. SPX +7.97% and Russell +11.38% have signed one of the best start of the year ever. Can these last for ever? who knows but we should expect ups and downs over the year. For these reason we should enter new Put Spreads once the oversold indicators tell us so. We wont enter Call Spreads as the market can go up and up with no force to defend them.

January gave as full Premium on de Spreads opened in December while defending the postion then.



 No open positions right now, and we will wait for a corretion to open new positions:



VIX is folling, marjets raising forming a V formation. We could agree we are in an overbought momentum, but will wait and wait and wait for an oversold situation to deploy new Put Spreads

2018 Bellini Portfolio Analysis

Evrything was going smoothly and following a good plan till December crash started. Think we played conservatively along the year, and that should be the strategy for 2019. Barely any Call Spreads were deployed and all the position were open on Put Spreads when a spike on the VIX occured and an oversold on momentum indicators.


A return +2.81 for the year is good compared to the SPX, but would have been near double digit if the sold-off would happened. The management of the Dec31 2370/80 was poor, if only I would stop out earlier when it got to 30 deltas! , but with such few days till expiration didnt want to materialise the looses. bad decision as I finally did, a day before it soared.



Markets have reacted to the exuberances of last bull years, too abruptly tho. Think we have approached a short term support on the 200 EMA weekly and long term trendline. Lets see where the markets go from here
