Opening (Margin): /MCL May 17th 56.5/92.25 Short Strangle
... for a 1.34/contract credit.
Comments: Going wide, nondirectional here, looking to generate around a 25% ROC as a function of buying power effect, so ended up selling the 10 delta on both sides. 1.34 on buying power effect of 4.50; 29.8% ROC at max as a function of buying power effect; 14.9% at 50% max. Will generally look to leave the setup alone, adjusting only on side test or side approaching worthless.
