09/16 Daily Summary

I added the second half to the MNX iron butterfly and the contingent orders triggered on the RUT position, all and all it was a quiet day for me. I'm currently down but it is really early on the trades, so there is a lot of time to adjust things.

09/16 RUT Iron Butterfly

I added a long contract to help control the deltas at 610, then at 615 a second hedge was released. The position is flat for now and the up-side risk is acceptable. If we keep going higher I plan on adding a small butterfly to keep theta on the trade.

I'm actually glad I ended up not loading the 2nd half of the position Yesterday. The market pushed higher Today and I added the second half and as it turns out the position is in better shape than the RUT.

09/15 Daily Summary

No major change on my positions Today. I added the second 1/2 on the RUT trade and did not get a fill on the MNX, plan on adding to MNX Tomorrow.
