Opening (IRA): QQQ May 12th 326 Covered Call (Long Delta Hedge)
... for a 311.89 debit.
Comments: Since I still have QQQ short delta hedge on and no long deltas on against, selling a May 12th 326 covered call here by buying a one lot and selling a 40 delta call against, giving me 60 long delta as a hedge against my QQQ long put diagonal.
I could also do this with a long call diagonal with similar delta metrics (i.e., buy a back month +90 call, sell a front month -30).
