Why Dec?

I figured I may hold it for more than a week (possibly) and we roll soon. Don't want to have to go long the switch to roll to Dec, if so.

Got it. Thanks.

Put in an order to add to the fly @ 12.30, 5-lot total.

Are you still short the ES? I got stopped out.

Partial fill @ 12.50. iPhone 5 being unveiled now.
 
i'm in a 20 wide fly in my TOS account... paid 4.85 640/660/680 its trading at 5.30 thinking of closing.. that would be almost 10 percent

put it up looking for a fill of 5.32

moved it down to 5.20 and i'm out on that one.. that this weeks.. figured all i need is a run up above 670 which could very well happen into the close and it would take my profit away..

Attempted to buy 665 Calendar @ 4.20, was not filled

currently at 5.10

Yeah, good in hindsight, but not by the numbers. I wouldn't want to buy vol into the conclusion. All on deltas.

Yep vol came in as expected. Trying to get a 660/665/670 Weekly Fly @ 0.50.

The 45-wide Oct fly is looking good, wish I was filled on more @12.30

Yeah, up almost a buck from today's entry, but my forum-fill was higher.
