تم فتح الصفقة:

Being somewhat aggressive here with delta balancing: rolling the 145/147 short call vert to the 142/144 intraexpiry for a .34 credit. With the scratch point now at 1.36, I'm still shooting for the original .51 profit, so setting a new GTC order to cover at 1.36 - .51 = .85.

تم فتح الصفقة:

Rolling the short put side up to the 30 delta (the 136/139) with 30 DTE and on test of the short call side for a .26 credit. Scratch point's now at 1.62; still looking to cover for the original profit target (.51) at 1.62 - .51 = 1.11.

With the long call broken at 144 and 25 DTE, basically scratching this trade out here for a 1.64 db (a .02/$2 loss) and redeploying in a higher POP setup ... .
