Intraday Update: QQQ, SPY

Indices opened red this morning to continue the selling from last week, but have recovered some lost ground to trade near the unchanged mark. Rolling the QQQ/SPY hedges was a focus coming into the week, and we will take the opportunity this morning to adjust the positions:

  • The QQQ Oct21 $300 - $290 put spread will be closed and a Nov18 $280 - $270 put spread will be opened.
  • The SPY Oct21 $395 - $385 put spread will be closed and a Nov18 $380 - $370 put spread will be opened.
  • Remember: these are hedge positions, and if you do not need or want a hedge, then it is better to focus on specific setups on QQQ and SPY
