RE: [TheOptionClub.com] Re: RUT trade question

 

There is no way to tell if it ever got ‘executed’.  Also, we do not know if it was a STO or a STC. J  Someone might own that Condor and be trying to get out of it. L

Are you sure that this trade was executed--or it meeky was listed in the speardbook of the TOS (as someone is offering it for a sale)?

Here's the trade: This was Tuesday and the RUT was at 562. The trade was an Aug condor +530/-560/-560/+590 for a credit of $17.02! With only 7 days left this has to be a pure Theta play. It was also placed before a fed meeting so volitility would normally be up too. So here's the question, i would have to think this trade is meant to be adjusted a few times before expiration, and, it would probably be taken off a day or so before as well. What would the adjustments be? A $3k investment for a $1.7K return is impressive but I just cant think this is a put it on and hope trade. Thanks gang! Rich
