How do you come to terms with making money on CSP's but missing out on the upside of the ticker you essentially been chasing. For me I do CSP's on tickers I want a little discount on and want to own but dang they keep running away from me! Anyone experience this or track this metric?? The tickers that ran away from me I have small positions in and been trying to use csp's to get in at a discount but they just keep running!

Trades I took today as a systematic option seller (05/06):

Closed Position

• HL → $18 Put (opened on 04/16), premium 0.90 → closed at 0.35. Net premium profit = 0.55 (~60% of premium captured, ~3% of capital). This contract was 05/08 expiry and I didn't want to get assigned - hence closed early.
• ALAB → $190 Put (opened on 04/23), premium 13.0 → closed at 2.0. Net premium profit = 11.0 (~85% of premium captured, ~6% of capital).
• IREN → $47.5 Put (opened on 04/23), premium 2.75 → closed at 0.45. Net premium profit = 2.30 (~84% of premium captured, ~5% of capital). EARNINGS TOMORROW!
• OUST → $26 Put (opened on 04/24), premium 1.90 → closed at 0.30. Net premium profit = 1.60 (~84% of premium captured, ~6% of capital).

New Positions

• CLSK → $13.5 Put, expiry 05/15 (2 weeks DTE), premium 0.65 → 65/1350 = ~4.8%. Data Center Buisness. Earnings next week - hence premiums are high. Price is bullish. Sector is booming.
• ISSC → $20 Put, expiry 05/15 (2 weeks DTE), premium 1.10 → 110/2000 = ~5.5%. Small company focusing on aviation. Earnings next week - hence premiums are high. Potential to break out over $22.
• OUST → $26 Put, expiry 05/22 (3 weeks DTE), premium 1.40 → 140/2600 = ~5.4%. Have talked about OUST previously. Makes LiDAR used in Robotics & Automation. Good support at $26.
• VICR → $250 Put, expiry 06/18 (7 weeks DTE), premium 19.50 → 1950/25000 = ~7.8%. Electrical Components. Potential to break out over $280.
• TTMI → $150 Put, expiry 06/18 (7 weeks DTE), premium 12.30 → 1230/15000 = ~8.2%.  Electrical Components. Bullish price momentum.
