01/27 Daily Summary


Today was a good day despite it being a FED announcement day. The market didn't move too much and I wasn't forced to adjust any position. I have added an iron butterfly to the MNX trade mainly to increase its theta.

I've decided to start adding more Theta to the trade, about 30 minutes prior to the closing I added another Iron Butterfly (1x 180/170 Put & 182.5/192.5 Call). The market then rallied, but I decided to stay put and do any further adjustments Tomorrow if we confirm this move up.

As we traded higher Today, the position started to show initial signs of profitability. That is a great sign, if we continue to trade sideways it will start to collect $.
