Saturday Trades Monday Update 8/19/2024

Mixed, Slow and waiting to move

Markets are mixed slow and waiting for a move. I would expect a pullback at least to the mean. The biggest issue is the lack of action.

On the open calendars, you have 3 choices.
1. Do nothing and continue daily rolls
2. Roll up both the long and short calls to around the money
3. Roll up the September call creating a short position

I will be choosing choice number 3 for my account. There is no right or wrong here. The decision is based on you
