Comments: Re-upping in the Q's after profit taking ... .
As with my IWM position, I'm not being as aggressive as I usually am from a delta standpoint. This is because I've already made money in the cycle and want to give myself a little more room to be wrong since we've had somewhat of a bodice ripper from early August lows. Selling the -84 short call against stock, resulting in a setup with a net delta of around 16.
Metrics:
Buying Power Effect/Break Even: 424.60 Max Profit: 5.40 ROC at Max: 1.27% 50% Max: 2.70 ROC at 50% Max: .64%
Will generally look to take profit at 50% max/roll out in-profit short call if there's a sell-off and the setup's net delta converges on +30.

In 20-20 hindsight, it would've been better to wait for a red day to re-up, but I can kind of fix that here with a roll. Rolling the Oct 18th 430 down and out to the Nov 15th 415 for a 17.32 credit (a credit that exceeds the amount of strike destruction). 407.28 break even; max 7.72; 1.90% ROC at max (excluding September dividends); 19.84 net delta.
