Small Account Trader PRO Alert: XBI 2 Jun Trade Adjustment

Even with a pull back in the price last week, the XBI continues to trade higher. We will adjust our 2 Jun iron condor leg by rolling the put side up and converting the trade to a butterfly. We will only pick up a small net credit of around 0.25 to 0.28 today but it puts us in the position to manage the trade again before the expiry date if we don’t get a retracement in the XBI price.
