I am OUT of the MA position in the journal. Nickel gain so no change in performance %. PF remains unch.

I bot the GOOG weekly 20/30/40 fly from 2.50 risk (2.35 mid), limits of account.

Yeah I'm looking to get out of MA. Would love for it to pullback under 460 again. Vol came in a good deal today, although it's still elevated.

Just got out of the Oct MA Fly for 31.10. I am inclined to find something new to put on in MA though.

Yeah, I like the Oct to 455, but decided to go with GOOG.

I am long the 20/30/40 fly in October here at 3.90-95 risk (3.80 mid). I'll update when I cover but it's not a journal position.

Edit: Spreads just blew out and it can be bought at 3.50. Adding, and I suggest it's nearly a fwd vol lock here at 3.50. I am averaged at 3.68 on the buys.

4.10 mid from 3.68 average. Still holding.
 
I really like the MA 455 Oct/Jan long calendar here at 14.00. I don't own it, but will be in it by the close. It's 13.88 mid. November report will boost jan a bit into Oct expiration. Not something to be held for a few days. This is a trade you would attempt to hold to expiration of Oct and roll into some OTM weeklies.
