... for a 1.68 debit. Comments: Received 2.00 in credits for this pair of legs. Closing out here for 1.68 as a profitable, subtractive delta adjustment trade. .32 ($32.00) profit. This leaves me (at the moment) with a 10 delta short strangle at the 66/97 and a 17 delta short strangle at the 70.5/93, with the entire position being net delta flat.
... for a 1.58 credit. Comments: Selling the +10 delta put and the -17 delta call to delta balance.
... for a 1.80 credit. Comments: Delta balancing my existing short strangle by selling the +15 put at the 70.5 and the -13 call at the 97.
... for a .94 debit. Comments: Taking profit where I can ... . Filled this pair of legs for a total of 1.27 in credits. Closing out here for .94 results in a .33 ($33) profit. The remaining position leans slightly short, so I may go ahead and do a delta adjustment here.
... for a .48 debit. Comments: Collected a total of .69 in credits for this pair of legs. Closing out here for a small (.21/$21) winner to free up buying power in the event I have to do an additive adjustment later. Net position leans a smidge short delta, so don't need to do an adjustment here at the moment.
... for a .73 debit. Comments: Net delta neutral subtractive trade to take off a little risk here, particularly since we still have quite of bit of time to go in the cycle (55 DTE). Filled the legs for a total of 1.03 in credits; closing out here for a .73 debit results in a .30 ($30) profit.
... for a .27 debit. Comments: Since I've exited the position that this leg was providing a little long delta assist to, closing it out here for a small winner. Filled for a .54 credit; out here for a .27 debit. .27 ($27) profit. I'm now all out in the March cycle which, for the moment, is net delta flat to slightly short.
... for a 3.89 debit. Comments: Taking a small loser on this tight short strangle with 27 days to go, which I'm fine with since I'm net up on plays in this instrument for the February cycle. Filled the legs for a total of 3.32 in credits; closing out here for 3.89 results in a .57 ($57) loss.
... for a 1.70 credit. Comments: An additive delta adjustment trade, selling the +15 delta put at the 69 and the -9 delta call at the 101.
... for a 1.17 credit. Comments: An additive delta adjustment trade in the March cycle, selling the +5 delta put and the -13 delta call, which brings my March position back to net delta flat.
... for a 1.09 credit. Comments: Here, delta balancing my March position by selling a +9 delta put at the 65 strike and a -6 delta call at the 107. I'll look to sell more "normal" strikes for my typical setup once I clean up the remainder of my Feb positions.
... for a 2.13 credit. Comments: An additive delta adjustment trade, which is a functional roll-up of what was my 74.5 short put. At this point, I'm fine with taking a loss on this very narrow short strangle, so long as I'm net up for the cycle on my /MCL trades, but would naturally prefer to scratch it out. Still keeping on the 67 short put for the moment, as...
... for a 1.48 debit. Comments: Doing a functional roll up with this leg, which I got paid 1.76 in credit for. I'm first closing this leg out for a .28 ($28) realized gain and then will re-erect a "delta appropriate" short put higher up the strike ladder to delta balance against my 84 short call.
... for a .98 debit. Comments: Although I've still got 30 days to go with this, taking it off in small profit without affecting net delta much (the 68 was at the +11 delta, the 93 at the -10), leaving me with the fairly narrow 74.5/84 to manage in the Feb cycle, along with a far out-of-the-money short put at the 67. I'll leave that short put on here since I...
... for a .49 debit. Comments: Collected a total of .74 in credits for the legs of this puppy. Taking small profit here (.25/$25) just to say "I realized some gains today."

... for a 1.02 debit. Comments: Opened for a 1.63 credit; closing this leg here results in a .61 ($61) profit.
... for an .85 credit. Comments: An additive delta adjustment trade, selling the -4 delta call and the 8 delta put against my +4 delta put and -8 delta call. I probably really didn't need to do an adjustment here given the low delta of the sides I had on in March, but wanted to collect some additional credit, particularly since the time left in the February...
