Bidding 5 cents for put spread. Will raise to 10 cents if filled on order below:
Bidding 50 cents to roll down the call spread by 5-points: (Bidding for 840/845 spread concurrent with the sale of the 845/850 call spread; 50 cents debit). In other words, I am bidding 50 cents for the call butterfly.
Noon
Butterfly bid cancelled.
after the close
Remaining short the 34 delta calls.
The only attractive trades were to cover 2 or 3 of the short call spreads or to exit. I chose to do neither.
This is not ideal for the conservative trader.
