Ach, laddies. +/- 10% with 2 weeks to expiry? What's missing is the range in between. The max. loss could be a constant from -1 pt. or - 1% or whatever. Whereas the profit is much lower over a range. I'm sure that there are many structures that could accomplish this. I looked at SPY (SPY =...

Yeah, I thought that you wouldn't like that idea. Heck, I don't even like it. Not for a one lot. With bigger size, maybe sell off some call premium to reduce risk and trade at an advantage. Obviously, if BABA wasn't up today, I wouldn't even mention it.

A good purchase, so far. FWIW, the 108C could be sold for around 1.40 as I type. Credit + 100 max. value. Zero risk from entry. I know, I know, you're shooting for another jackpot like the GOOG trade last year.

Yeah, I trade flys on CL often. Personally, when you posted, I thought oil would be higher by now. A cursory glance (Friday morning) says the spread was about 1.30ish(mid) @ CL 80. So would you take the profit then? Since it was no longer effective as a directional downside hedge. Now at...

Really depends on time frame. I don't use BBs. Based on your charts - downtrend looks intact. Using price only (and I'm no expert with this), daily could be a mini-breakout to the upside. But as you see from your chart, this view would be taking some heat if you bought above 64. On a shorter...

I saw the post where you told someone to gfy. I finally figured out what you meant. Go Fade Yourself. Good advice:)

Good job. Personally, I thought closing or partial at 2+ before EA was a good move, but you showed me wrong:)

Closed it 2 lot segments. Longs 2@.28, 2@.28, 2@.30 =172 Shorts 2@.12, 2@.12 =48 Total Costs 14.57+8.88 = 23.45 P/L = 172 - 48 - 102 - 23.45 = - 1.45 I'd call it a BE.

So diag backspread thus far. 1.50x6 + 8 loss on put sale 758 gross debit. 32 gain on shares + 1.56x4 = 656 gross credit. Costs = 14.57

Bah, resell at 1.56

Bah, buy 'em back at 1.47. I think it comes down a bit. Unfamiliar territory.

Close but no cigar. Sell 4 Oct. 24 98P at 1.45

Off shares at 99.40

Long 6 AAPL oct31 97P and long 200s Edit: Oops 97P @ 1.50 shares @ 99.24

FYI, you could sell the 101 for more than 1.24 now. Free spread. Max value 200, investment 0.

Buy next weeks 1900C @ 10.50.

I gotta leave in 45 min. so got to wrap it up, for better or worse.

Buy back put @ 9

So, of the orig. Oct17 put spread got the 1850/1840 bull put spread left. Keep an eye on 1850 and buy back for 1.00 or so. No harm no foul. Otherwise let it expire. Just covered UL @1876.25
