Getting my # of occurrences in a small account. SPY has been on a tear lately and want to capture a bit of the upside, without any risk to the downside.
Trade Setup:
-1 SPY Mar 17 236/237/237/239 Call Butterfly @ 0.19
DTE: 29
Max Win: $119
Max Loss: $81
Breakeven: $238.19
Trade Management: Best case scenario, SPY trades around 237 near March expiration for close to max profit. I'll likely look to take 50% out of this. $0 downside risk on trade and will let expire or cover for close to nothing if we get a move down. Fits risk parameters here as well, although we would appreciate some IV increases across the board.
Green is profit zone; vertical bar is expiration.

Trade closed manually:
Getting down to the wire here on expiration. I closed this trade to take off the risk and avoid assignment fees. Closing price at $0.25 debit, so loss of $6 on the trade.
