Here’s a screenshot of the trade I want to take, including potential fills:<\/p>\n

\"spx-iron-condor\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Call side is going for 1.25, the put side is going for .80. I think if you walk the call side down to 1.20 you’ll get filled just fine.<\/p>\n

The reasoning behind going half size on the call side is that the biggest risk remains to the upside… so if SPX squeezes higher we can then roll and add to the call side, which shouldn’t cost much.<\/p>\n

Target exit date is May 20th.<\/p>\n

Update: 5\/14\/15<\/h2>\n

Didn’t have to do anything here, and we’ve got 30 days to opex which is the right time to take this trade off the table.<\/p>\n
