OPENING: IWM DEC 23RD 135/138 SHORT PUT VERT
Here, I'm opening a short call vertical to pair with a short put vertical that I originally put on as a delta hedge. IWM, after all, is looking overextended, toppy here, and I want to have more short delta in place for my overall IWM position if the election "exuberance" begins to wear thin.
I filled the spread for a .52 ($52)/contract credit and will look to take off the now complete iron condor as a unit at 50% max profit if I get the chance.
Notes: I generally don't leg into iron condors as a matter of course, but it just so happened that I had more "put side" units than "call side" units. This balances that out.

Actually, that was a short call -- not put -- vert.

Rolling the 116/119 short put vert to the 125/128 short put vert in the same expiry for a .41 ($41)/contract credit. IWM up move somewhat unrelentless ... .

Covering here for a 1.01 debit, resulting in a small winner ($18, after fees and commissions). Wanted to take off some exposure in this instrument, since I have two "troubled" IWM setups on ... . I certainly don't need another.
