A little engagement trade here to keep me occupied in this sideways market ... .
Filled for a 7.05 credit ($705/contract). I'll look to take it off at something like 25% max profit or at about $176/contract.

As it stands now, this thing is at 16% of max profit as of today's close. I'm still shooting to take it off at 25% max profit, but you may want to "lock in" what you have here. I mean 16% of the max profit for an options trade put on a day ago is pretty darn good.

Covered for a 5.60 debit. 7.05-5.60=1.45 ($145/contract profit). It represents about 20% of max profit, and if you can get that in two days, well, you take that money and run.
