Quote from scienter:
Things got a little too hot for me today. Ended up selling the spread --covered approx. half the loss with my debit hedge and of course the call side of the IC. Still, wiped out 2 months of gains....just took a bit too much risk legging into the put side of the IC this month. Discipline is huge and I just jumped the gun on my stochastic confirmation this past week.
For JUN I'm still sitting at 1375/80 @ .5 AND
recently got 1240/35 filled @ .5
Are you still in your 1270 (or was it 1260?)
I was actually thinking a bit more about how you hedge. I like the idea of being proactive, e.g., buying SPY puts cheap when the underlying is in an OS condition in anticipation of a correction and then followed with a placement of a bull put. Have you had success with this on a regular basis? I imagine this type of hedge cuts bigger into your profits on months were you can't complete the IC...
