    My only option with options is not to mess with options.

    I love options and have been trading only options for my regular account and ROTH IRA for the last two years.

    Today:

    AAPL PUT bought MAR08 $420 @ $4.7 (within 1/2 hour at the open and with the market value @ $7 or gain 49%) holding over night so I Sold PUT $410 @ $3.20 (within a minute of the closing bell) so I minimize my cost to $1.50 or $150 per contract and maximize my profit to $8.5 or $850 (567%) just in case it has something good news, my unrealized gain is 253% instead of 49% ($7 - $3.2 => $3.8/$1.5 = 2.53).

    DDD PUT bought MAR08 $27.5 @ $1.5

    LNKD PUT Bought $165/Sold $170 CALL Bought $185/Sold $190 @ $.20 (market -.025/currently negative on paper)

    Closed lossing trades that open today SPY PUT $152 bought @ $1.09 closed at $.80 and FB CALL $27.5 bought $.70 and sold @ $.60.

    Other open including:
    GM Calendar spread $27 Sold APR2013/Bought JAN2015 for $2.94 (entered less than a month)
    LNKD APR2013 $170 @ $4.5 (market $13.525)

    BAC, BBRY, EFA, F, FAS, FB (PUT Sold $28 MAR 08/Bought $26 APR2013 @ $.05), LCC, X, and XOM.

    F & GM are my income spread that I collect 7% (on weekly) to +20% (monthly). GM collect 28% in three weeks of the total cost value + 12% increase value on the option strike price (not be able to collect additional income either until April when no time left or stock drop in price as I sold @ 1.01 so my breakeven is @ $28.01).

    This morning I sold AAPL 05/07/2021 Call $137 for $2.35 and just rolled back by open 04/30/2021 Call $138 and closed $137 for $94, so my current cost for 05/07/2021 Call $135 is $1.28. I also have open calendar Put spread $129 for protection Buy 05/07/2021 and sell 04/30/2021 @ $.50. AAPL hit the target $139.38 on earning after market hours and pulled back today. Looking potential next target around $145 area then my profit will be +$10 or over 600%.
