3 more DTE
Trade active:
I was looking at cutting this one if it didn't close below yesterday's close, but it held.
I am willing to lose a little more TVP for the potential to move lower.
Otherwise, this would be a close out.
Trade closed manually:
Just moving too slow with not enough time left to expiration.
Closed out at .71, -61%.
