  1. I'm super dense. Where does 231P come from in your explanation?

    No, it was a 231P fly with a 3120 body strike, neutral to 3132 (today).it gained 12% over the two day hold.

  3. If someone feels like writing out exactly the calls and puts that were bought, that would be much appreciated and I would send you good vibes through the computer.

    All that matters is the body strike, neutrality and duration. It was a Dec 13 exp.

  5. I am dumb. I understand these words but I am unable to convert them into puts and calls so I can truly understand exactly what was done. I'm not asking you to do it, but one of the others who "gets it" maybe.
