So many bad decisions here, how to unpack it.
had the 280 calls that the market absolutely obliterated, was way in the money. instead of doing like I learned and NOT moving the challenged side, I sold MORE calls at 285 which is also went through. I then sold puts at 283 which expired OTM but suffered a major loss. Lesson learned, don't adjust the challenged direction!!
SPY 26 credit , sold for 198 = $172 loss
