Trade Update - January 8, 2018
Avoiding risk concentration around RUT 1585 (decision point on the Call side for both the Jan and the Feb Elephant).
Closed the Call side of the January Elephant.
CLOSED 13 RUT 1605/1610 Credit Call spreads 0.25 Debit
Original credit was 0.46 per spread. So, this is a small 0.21 net winner. In 13 spreads and dollar terms that is +$273
At the same time the IWM Long Call component of the Elephant was closed too.
CLOSED 10 IWM Long 161 Calls @0.08 Credit
Original Debit paid was 0.25, so this is a 0.17 loss per contract or -$170 total in dollar terms.
We're closing the Call side of the Jan Elephant for a small +$103 gain and we're only leaving the Put side of the position on (1390/1380), planning to hold it until expiration.
