This trade was a good example why I don't like debit spreads, the short option would have hindered my exit. No big deal if I was wrong on direction but if you are right on direction debit spreads will cost you money. Go with a long position only.
Did I exit too early? As you can see from the chart there was two days to re-enter a position at prices below my closing price. The TWTR June27 39.00 and 40.00 calls even dipped to their lowest prices since I started the thread. I didn't post any new trades to ET so I won't say if I did enter a new trade on June 24 or June 25. Maybe I did, maybe I didn't.
