Comments: High IV at 95.8%. Here, going delta neutral, 1/10th the price of the underlying for my wing width, and setting up my short option strikes at the 16 delta on both sides.

Buying Power Effect: 23.97
ROC at Max: 25.16%
50% Max: 3.02
ROC at 50% Max: 12.58%

Rolled the in profit -210P/440C to the -220P/450C for a 2.48 credit on BPE of 7.52, resulting in a 180/220/410/450 iron condor on which 8.51 total credits have been collected. I was originally looking to make 3.02 on the trade, so am revising my GTC order to take profit at 8.51 - 3.02 or 5.49.

Rolling and recentering at 21 DTE to the February 21st 200/290/460/450 for a 2.11 credit; 26.11 net credits collected.

(In practice, you can't roll out a four-legged setup in one piece. You have to either (a) close the whole thing, then re-establish in the new expiry; or (b) close out one side, roll the other, then open a new oppositional side). Earnings are on 2/4, so I'll probably want to be out of the trade by then.
