Transaction en cours:

Taking $75 out of this trade here by rolling the Aug 17th 41 down to the Aug 17th 40 for a .75/contract credit. The max profit one the remaining one-wide is 1.00, so I'll shoot to take that off at or near max (.95), resulting in a .30/contract profit on this trade (50% max). Reducing risk while (potentially) getting what I want out of the trade ... . :)

Trade fermée manuellement:

Covering here for a .90 db (.10 short of max), so small winner.
