    Good news for you! Apr and May IWM as well as RUT is now available. You don't have to go to June any more. How would you describe profitability and tradeability in terms of going out all the way to June Vs your original idea of staying withing 8 weeks range?

    I was hoping for higher RUT settlement too but to my surprise it went opposite. I think they found more to screw on other side this time. Damn SET! I am with you in this hate!

    I believe by the time you posted this, the stimulus package already passed. It happened before market closed so not sure why you are still betting on stimulus package to pass.

    If you managed to gain money in such a volatile market, when volatility returns to normal, I would expect double the gain. Keep up the good work.

    I don't understand the basis of following position. mar 480/490 call/short marQ 49 iwm call @ profit of $44.60 Usually you go out 10-20 pt in the money but this seems to be way too much in the money. Even though you are not sure, you are anticipating move higher or you have a paird position.

    Now the adjustment you did makes a sense. A box spread!!!! Wow!!! The reason you don't see too many comment here is because your trading technique is for very advanced option trader. Another question - how do you close your position since it combines RUT and IWM? Do you close RUT spread...

    HUH's crash and burn trading thread

    I can see that if the RUT/IWM is contained within certain range, good money for you. You just created position for the month of March and that made me thinking that basically you are selling hedge so that you get to eat on time premium of hedge as long as index stays withing a profit zone.
