What a nasty turn from yesterday!

Clearly we are not hedged enough here and I can see how it is easy to get lost on the Applefly trade once it gets off the template.  The short answer is that once we complete a round (both legs filled) with a good price, we are not obligated to complete the next round with the same strikes as the 2 spreads can function independently of each other.  While this is obvious to me I realize it is not necessarily obvious to you so I apologize for getting annoyed with all the Apple questions yesterday.

Hopefully Sage will have some time to do an article on this trade and the strategies around it as he explains these things much better than I do.  For today, I would suggest taking some January DIA puts, perhaps 10 $129 puts for $4 to hedge against a catastrophic drop but we are 90% in cash so I’m not too concerned.
