Mostly because I felt like it. I cannot predict where price is going to go so I never know when the best time is to close it. Back on 6/15 the hedge was up around $5,379. I should've closed it then. But I didn't know if it was going to keep going up or down or what. Plus, I moved and we had those big up days in a row and my SPY position was way up in a matter of days. There's no way of knowing how big of swings price is going to make.
I'd rather close it for a bit of profit than for a loss.
I mean, it really doesn't matter, though. I will end this trade net profitable no matter where price goes and no matter when I close the hedge, so any positive hedge profit is extra bottom line profit in the end.
I'm thinking actually maybe I should make my next buy point at the 100 line of where I originally drew the first fib lines. I'd be buying some soon, and it would lower my average close sooner than waiting to see if price hits $124.10 where my next buy line is. And then I could potentially lower the profit target cuz who knows when price is going to get back up to $137 where my current sell area is? Or maybe I should just ask one of those people who claims to be able to predict price.
edit:
If I were to buy 1,400 @ $128.50, that would put my average cost at around $130.86. So then I could make the target profit 133 or so for a net of $6,848 from the SPY, plus the $1,223 from the hedge, plus whatever is left of the hedge, plus the $1,130 dividend.
Of course, if I do that, then SPY will probably go to 137 the following day. Cuz that's how it works
