bam1960 Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 Decided to enter weekly RUT Calendar on 1/21. RUT @1170 Jan5 short/Feb2 long @8.00. Was a little unsure because of ECB announcement but decided go ahead, so far so good. Bret Quote
bam1960 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 Profit Target 12-15% Maximum loss 15% Adjustments ~5 points from breakeven Quote
bam1960 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 Since I started with 1/2 position I opened 1200 call calendar @8.55 giving me a 1170/1200 double calendar Quote
bam1960 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 Ended up closing trade 1170 call calendar @9.00 and the 1200 @8.70 for a 7% gain. Note: I did not intend to exit at this level , I had a GTC on 1170 @ 9.00 and was going to adjust to compensate for 1200 calendar and got taken out before i could adjust which left just the 1200 calendar and market was heading down so took less for a 7% gain. Could have gotten the 10-15% out of this one with better management. Live and Learn. Quote
