Dear fellow option traders,
Here was the trade that I had established back in 15 Feb 2013 :
On 15/2/13, I sold 5 contracts of DIA Iron Condor. Have adjusted once. Bought back the Mar13 143/145 Call spread and extend the upper price range by selling 5 nos. of Mar13 144/146 Call spread.
On 11/3/13, I bought back the Mar13 137/135 Put spread at $0.05.
On 27/3/13, the
DOW dropped 90 points when market opened.I bought back the Mar13 144/146 Call credit spread at $0.67
(on previous day the price closed at $1.23 because the DOW rose 110 points)
This has taught me an important lesson. I've grabbed the opportunity to close my trade with a smaller loss when it was presented to me.
Total position loss = $150 + $100 commissions.
As for the updates for the positions established on 15/3/13 :

As for the updates for the positions established on 15/3/13 :
On 15/3/13, I've sold 5 contracts of SPY Iron Condor. Capital outlay = $625. Possible credit = $375.
I've placed limit orders to buy back each leg of the credit spread. (as above)
As for the 5 contracts of IWM Double Calendar bought on 15/3/13. capital outlay = $695. Possible credit = $480.
On 4/4/13, I added another IWM Double Calendar on top of the existing one because the downside breakeven was breached :-
ie. Sold IWM Apr13 93 Put & Bought 5 IWM May13 93 Put (this position was breached).
Yours Truly,
Tony Chai
