04/01 NDX Fast Iron Butterfly (from 03/22)



Made no change on the position Today, watching theta increase.

04/01 NDX Fast Iron Butterfly (from 03/15)



As we traded lower I decided to close 1 of the 1950 iron butterflies, this locked some of the profits on that butterfly and took the edge out of the up-side risk by reducing some of the negative delta.

Very short posting Today, Had only one adjustment that was more like fine turning than adjustment on one of the butterflies.

03/30 Daily Summary




Ok, not much to report Today, I added an iron butterfly intra-day to help my 3/22 position, other than that spent most of the day away enjoying our family Spring break.

03/30 NDX Iron Butterfly





Still on waiting mode, as we were trading slightly lower Today it started showing some profits, if we pull back for just a little bit the position will be in great shape. Let’s see what develops.

03/30 NDX Fast Iron Butterfly (from 03/22)



I added an iron butterfly mid-morning Today, got the position leaning bearish as we were trading sideways, we ended up moving higher and closing higher. I still see the candle patterns showing weakness at the top, that was my reason for leaning bearish Today, we’ll see how it develops.

NDX pushed higher once again, really close to my stop level, will have to hang in there and see what happens in the next few days.
