  2. ok i just fucked up..
    this filled

    + BOT 1 AAPL OCT 19 '12 + 630 - (2)700 + 665 Call Butterfly 11.30 USD SMART 13:23:50 OptTrader 2.21 null

    but that interfered with my broken fly the 680/700/730

    now it looks like this..

    +1 630
    -2 665
    +1 680
    -1 700
    +1 730

    i'm retarted..

  4. You're roughly neutral to 680. I wouldn't worry about it here. Upside is not the concern.

    I had the 665 700 Oct Nov Strangle Swap. I cut the 700's and added to the 665 to reduce my delta. flat pnl on this so far.

  8. probably one of those sell off into earnings deal.. then bounce well above 700 after the beat... definitly trending down here..

    my first real bit of pain is going to be when it breaks down through 650..
