So I take it you don't like the trade. How do you come up with that figure?
(FWIW I also bought the 555 calendar for 4.50, so I am flat vega)
No, I like it fine. I would use the price as a SL figure, but I don't think that >$570 is in the cards. The ATM 15-wide was 2.70 bid last Friday at the open, if memory serves.
see you guys have been at it..
i've been looking at a dec MA 450/480/510 iron... i'm staying away from weeklys, i think jan might even be better.. these front month/week expiring flys are to much for me to manage.. i need to personally get a little better understanding of where on the term structure might be a better placement considering my lack of ability to forecast.. i had a general idea that this downtrend would break at least temporarily. the action in apple looks unmanageable to me. sharply trending down , and jumps..

Well, I closed out yesterday the aapl, as two verticles, since I thought I would keep part of spread as a verticle and also closed out the /cl in parts since it was going against me as price was rising to 89. Still long 1 /cl 92.5 call. lost >3000 on the cl

I've been somewhat following here, don't understand all the options speak...I had opened aapl fly friday before the fiscal cliff news came out when price was heading for $500. anyways, just wanted to post some trades, aapl Dec fly 520/530/540. I also have aapl Dec calendar $600. Aapl 675 expired worthless ( I bought that after aapl wass trading down from the 700 peak in sept about.
Also bought friday FB Dec fly 20/23/25 and GLD Dec 160/165/170
Also expired worthless friday AA 10 calls, CMG 310, Goog 775.
I also (for the first time) bought a /CL fly 82.5/86.5/92.5 and am concerned since I have debit (10,905) in my acct over the weekend. I was bullish on the middle east news of conflict. I just dont want to get blown out on this. I should have closed it before the close Im thinking now. Also, the Fb spread has a (1000) bp effect currently.

Still long 1 /cl 92.5 call. lost >3000 on the cl. frustrating since cl was such a nice up move yesterday and should have been an easy long trade.
