Comment
Sept opex check. Yowsa. They crushed the crap out of vol off those highs. 20-20 hindsight: I probably should've manned up and gone wider. Currently valued at .63, just going to leave it alone to grind into near max if that its "grand plan."
Trade closed manually
Out for .75, .30/$30 per contract winner, 67% ROC. Back to waiting for the next pop to re-up.
