Close SMH Trade

October 4, 2022

Our last remaining open SMH laddered iron condor (14 Oct) has bounced back enough with the market for us to close it around break-even. The stocks have enjoyed two up-days in a row and we can’t be sure of getting a third day of positive stock market action. Let’s close this position.

 

Depending on your fill prices, we have a credit of around 4.20 to 4.30 from our 3 adjustments and we can close it today for a debit of 4.25 to 4.30 … a scratch trade.
