After I put them on, SPX and RUT started gapping up and I was about to adjust them against further upside move. But with the recent pullback in SPX and RUT, the positions now look healthy. Let's see what happens in the following couple of weeks.

Tuesday 3/24: IC RUT Apr 1050/1070...Last two weeks:<br />Tuesday 3/24: IC RUT Apr 1050/1070/1320/1340 - the iron condor reached profit target of 3/4 of received credit. I bought to close the whole position for profit +$654 (+9% on margin $7145).<br /><br />Thursday 3/26: CAL RUT Apr/May 1230/1270 - after Wednesday when RUT moved down 30 points (-2.3%, -3.6sigma), RUT continued to fall Thursday morning. The double calendar reached my maximum loss 10%. I sold to close the position for loss -$187 (-9% on margin $2132).<br /><br /><br />Open positions:<br />4x IC RUT May 1070/1090/1330/1350<br />4x IC SPX May 1860/1880/2190/2210<br /><br /><br />Next week:<br />The iron condors in May expiration are still far from my profit targets. I will monitor and adjust them if necessary. Adjustment points are about (1990;2125) for the SPX iron condor and (1170;1280) for the RUT iron condor.<br /><br /><br />===<br />> Henrik: <br />The photo from Florida looks amazing. I have friends that often go to Florida for hollidays. As your family is there with you, you must enjoy the place even more. Nice.<br /><br />> Jonathan:<br />Monthly options expire on 3rd Friday of given month, e.g. on 20th in May and on 17th in June. Can you clarify the expiration date of your options: SPX May 31st, SPX June 30th, RUT June 30th? Are these extended weeklies?

Glad you are enjoying Florida. We had ...Hi Henrik,<br /><br />Glad you are enjoying Florida. We had a nearly oversold condition on SPX on April Fool's Day when it slipped below 2050. I tried to get filled on June SPX 1770/1760 for .70 to .60 credit but had no luck. I will give it another shot on Monday if we drop below 2050 again. <br /><br />What I did last week:<br /><br />Nothing.<br /><br />My plan for next week:<br /><br />If we get another oversold condition on SPX, I will sell June SPX 1770/1760 credit put spread.<br /><br />Current positions:<br /><br />June 30th RUT 1000/990 & 1380/1390 iron condor<br />June 30th SPX 1750/1725 credit put spread<br />May 31st SPX 1775/1765 credit put spread<br /><br />I finished the quarter up 8.4%. It was an easy quarter for most conservative credit spread traders.
