Will you consider an early exit at some point ? You probably already got the largest dVega gains at this point, right ?

Right, I don't want to see us retrace below my entry, hence the added 50 ES at 124650. A lot will depend on barrier-vol.

Position is +$580,000 net of ES hedge at 1258.00. Still a mil expectancy at 1258.00 ES, SPX cash at 1248.00.
 
Lock it up and get out lol. I think we might rally to 1260 or so soon and those shorts will start hurting more no? take the $500K plus and settle in for the FED swing!

There is 40 handles upside b/e, but I hear you. I would like to capture some of the $150k in weekend decay, but may cover sooner.
