  2. Ok, then the calendar was not the answer. The 1320 strike is up a buck. Sell futures or buy puts next time.

  3. Out of curiosity Atticus, do you believe in Technical Analysis (support, resistance, double bottom, i.e. looking at the charts?

  4. Sure, there are a few indicators I use on a daily-close basis. Along with some breadth statistics.

  7. SPX at 1355 but I dont think i should sell. Wait maybe a week. Not much profit. Spx hit 1355 a lot faster than i thought. I think buying shorter duration flies may be a better idea.

  8. Sold part of the SPX fly. Sold an unbalanced fly at 1330/1355/1405 (sold 2 -1330/bought 6 1355 and sold 2 1405). The original fly has been converted to a 1305/1330/1355 fly for only 200 risk per thinkorswim. Max profit potential 4.7k.
    Still holding on to Facebook.
