Comment:
Sept opex check. Yowsa. They crushed the crap out of vol off those highs. 20-20 hindsight: I probably should've manned up and gone wider. Currently valued at .63, just going to leave it alone to grind into near max if that its "grand plan."
Trade closed manually:
Out for .75, .30/$30 per contract winner, 67% ROC. Back to waiting for the next pop to re-up.
