Panicking market to most traders, a golden opportunity to me.

I love this type of volatile markets, where the weak and unprepared hands are washed out, leaving the true players in the game.  I placed 2 orders this morning, and they were both filled.

  1. NFLX weekly spread: 225-230 call, with a potential profit of $0.6.  Due to low volume, my call orders were not filled.  I replaced the call orders with a put spread (225-23o), potential profit: $0.43.  The order was executed.
  2. PCLN weekly put spread (480-485), potential profit: $0.4.  (I chose put due to higher liquidity or higher volume).  The order was filled.

My potential weekly return for this week is 4.8% (for one of the trading accounts where I do more spread trading recently).
