Quote from iceman1:

order selling 3 PD MH @ >3.30

will look to close PD MF @ < .70 on Tuesday - and re-sell at a much higher price thereafter- OR if stock falls next week- will sell 6 more PD MF @ >1.45

sold (2) PD MH @ 3

Won't help much if vol drops and stock rallies a few handles. You're not neutral here. You should sell the atm combo if you're looking for a drop in vols.

entered 170p calendar (feb/Jan)

+ 4 mnx NN ($4)

sold 4 mnx AN (jan 170c) @ avg. 1.75

will look to sell 4 more @ 2.55

still + 12 mnx AX @.857 (which may roll out to Feb- then sell Jan 17250)
