Closing (IRA): GLD September 17th 150/July 23rd 166

AMEX:GLD   SPDR Gold Trust
... long call diagonal for a 15.43/contract credit.

Comments: Money, taking, running on this (which was pretty much my original intention if I got the move). My cost basis was 13.88, (See Post Below), so my profit is the difference between what I closed it for (15.43) minus my cost basis (13.88) or 1.55 ($155)/contract. 1.55/13.88 = 11.2% ROC. Naturally, there could be continuation, but the most I can make out of this diagonal is the width of the spread (16.00), and I'm not sure I want to hang out another 17 days (the duration of the front month), since it's been flopping back and forth across that 166 mark for a bit (which is where I'd need price to finish above to realize max).
