08/21 Daily Summary

Today's price action brought my positions down a bit, total portfolio value is down -5%, not a big deal, considering I still have money to deploy next week (IBM Calendar). For now, I plan on enjoying the weekend, getting some rest and coming back ready next week!

08/21 RUT Iron Butterfly

RUT made its trip to the edge of the expiration graph. I decided not to jump the gun and open a new butterfly just yet. My plan is to do so if we continue moving up and get to 490 next week.

The good news is, we're back in the center. The bad news? Over-adjusting on the down-side cost me some money fixing things up. On the bright side, I had the foresight to start leveling things up since Yesterday, otherwise we'd be down twice as much Today. The trade only need a few quiet days to recover, let's see what next week brings.
