交易开始:
Rolling the call side down to a fly (it's now a 17/20/20/23) for a .68/contract credit; scratch at 1.74/contract.
交易手动结束:
Covering here for a 2.30/contract debit (.56 loss). Although this trade could work out, it's amenable to max loss with price dancing around the 17 long puts. Since it's a three-wide, this would mean a max loss of 1.26 (3-wide minus total credits received of 1.78) if it doesn't move off of 17 versus the loss of .56 I'm taking here with 17 DTE. With a bevvy of high vol to be had in the broad market at the moment, best to take the loss, free up the BP, and move on to working something higher POP.
