ROLLING: VXX FEBRUARY 21ST 14/16 SCV TO MARCH 20TH 12/14 SCV
... for a .41/contract credit and for a realized gain of .34/contract.
Notes: My preference would be to roll these down on strength, but staying mechanical and rolling out at 50% max of credit received. Total credits received now at 1.09/contract, so the roll also has the salutory effect of actually reducing setup risk; the max loss metric was previously 1.32/contract, and now it's .91.
To some, the short call might appear "too deep" in the money, but VXX (on average) loses about 6% of its value per month, so it's conceivable that if there are no major pops here that VXX could trundle down to sub-12 in the next 60 days. Naturally, if we do get a pop, I'll add units and go from there ... .
